Address L. N. HoLm, Principal Box 308, Oshawa, Ont. FOREIGN LITERATURE FUND Sabbath, August 1 has been appointed as the time to take up an offering in all our churches to help provide tracts, pamphlets, and small books in fore'gn languages. We who have already received the truth are debtors to all nations. Don't forget this offering in your church or home and don't forget your neigh- bors who speak a foreign language. Last year over 1100 people of foreign speech were bap- tized in North America. One half of the amount contributed for this fund may be used in pur- chasing foreign literature for use by the local missionary society and the other half should be sent to the conference treasurer properly labelled. C. F. MCVAGH A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY EVOLUTION, FUNDAMENTALISM and MODERNISM are three of the burning and most widely discussed topics of the day. W. J. Bryan refers to the Tennessee trial as a "Duel fiideath" against Evolution which he characters es as "the destruction that wasteth at noonday." With, the attention of all the Christian world directed toward these struggles, waged with- out as well as within the churches, should we not consider this a time of golden opportunity to present to the world our unshaken belief in the Christian faith in the Bible? "Arise and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of God is risen upon thee." This is our God given privilege with the splendid peri- odicals and books at our command. In addition to the English periodicals, week- lies are available in Danish-Norwegian, Ger- man and Swedish as follows : Danish-Norwegian, Evangeliets Sendebud, 16 pages, sub. price $2.50. German, Christlicher Hausfreund, 8 pages. sub. price $1.75. Swedish, Sions Vaktare, 8 pages, sub. price $1.75. Our editors are planning to strongly feature the above named subjects during the coming months—and many others of vital interest and importance to the Christian world. Do you not have neighbors of these nation- alities who do not know the message? A six months subscription to any of these periodicals may be the connecting link to fasten their trembling faith upon Christ. Is a dollar thus expended worth the value of a soul? Magazines and other literature are available in all leading languages. August I is designated as Home Foreign Day. On this day we will have opportunity in our churches to give—and give liberally—that our foreign-speaking neighbors may have the truth. No one can estimate the value of a club of five copies to either one of the above named period- icals for six months sent to individual addresses. Eternity alone will tell. What will your answer be on August 1 ? H. W. SHERRIG Christianity is a religion that will not keep ; the only thing to do with it is to use it, spend it, give it away.—Henry Van Dyke. • 2 � EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER "AN .ENEMY HAVE( DONE THIS" We were all terribly saddened when the news IkaOhell- us by telegram on the evening of July 9th, of the accidental4e4tIk:•:bf Brother Arthur T.

LANE BACK TO MONTREAL AND QUEBEC The writer and family arrived in Montreal after the closing exercises of Oshawa Mission- ary College. The writer had to leave in order to attend several camp-meetings but he has, since returning from these meetings, met with the French workers, and after counselling with them about the work, has started a campaign with the literature on hand. EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGEI � 3 Brother and Sister Nadeau have arrived in Montreal and they at once began work with the literature. Over 180,000 pages of literature have, already, been circulated and a list of in tereited persons found, as the result, who will be given Bible studies. A gentleman -who . owns land in different towns of the Province has offered the writer land free of charge upon which to pitch the French tabernacle and some money to help defrarexpenses. He promised us that he would see that we secure permission from the au- thorities to put up the Tabernacle. The writer recently spoke to the Montreal English Church and was much encouraged when the fifty persons then present renewed their consecration to the Lord for the finishing of the work in this field. The Lord has given u's a splendid building in this city, and with the plans on foot by the Conference for a strong effort this fall and winter in this large city, the outlook is bright for a .great advance of the work in this metropolis. Several Roman Catholic homes have been open to the writer and some of those people we visited whom we had not seen since we left Montreal, gave us a fine reception. In one place we were forced to take dinner, at another place the Roman Catholic man embraced me and kissed me. We learned also that a Roman Catholic lady who used to 'be our neighbor, before her death expressed the desire to see some of the Passebois family that she might learn more about the resurrection morn. A Roman Catholic with whom we have la- bored for the last six years and with whom Elder Thurber and Brother Cyr have labored, will be baptized in a week or two, when the writer will return to Montreal. These Roman Catholics are so ignorant of the Bible that it takes time for them to understand, but they are sincere and many of them are seeking for light. While at times curtailment in the force of laborers due to lack of finances may become necessary and for a time it seems as if the field was left without, let us remember that the brethren in charge of the work are praying and studying how to serve the whole of the field to the best advantage, and that the Lord -overrules in all things, and that if we let Him -finish the work in our own heart, He will open ways' and means that we are not aware of to 'finish the work in the fields where we are. � _ I. find in. Montreal and all around a spirit of inquiry'` that I have never seen before, and I believe that ere long, ntiny. honest ;hearts in. this field will accept this message; and with their means help to finish. up the w6rk.

Sr. Crooks is leader. Truly, we are living in the. day of His power, and we have much to thank our Father for. Let every member do all that can be done. We have God's last call to humanity, and what is to be done must be accomplished quickly. A. E. MILLNER, Home Missionary Sec'y. A NEW FRENOH BOOK We are sure our people in this field where we have such a large French population will be pleased to know that the book "Christ, the Divine One" by Elder Shuler has been trans- lated and printed in French and can now be se- cured from the Canadian Watchman Press, through the Tract Society. This book is es- pecially adapted for work among the French Roman Catholics and is a fine companion to "Steps to Christ." Recently a letter from Worcester, Mass., was received at the Publishing house with the follow- ing: "I have before me a little book entitled Wers Jesus' by Helen G. White. This book was loaned to me by a Roman Catholic who said that he had never read anything written by human hands and mind that had given him as much comfort and joy and assurance. I also found that this little book was a great help to me and should like to know if I could pur- chase one from you. Kindly let me know the price and also if it is published in English." This shows that Roman Catholics appreciate our literature even if it is forbidden them. "Christ the Divine One" has the following chapters : The Key to the Holy Scriptures. Is Jesus of Nazareth the True Messiah? Is Christ God or Man? The Seven Greatest Historical Facts. The Supreme Question. The Price of Your Salvation. How to be in Harmony with God. Where art Thou? The Marvellous Plan of God. The illustrations both on the covers and inside are just what appeal to the French Ro- man Catholics. Send for some today to work among your French neighbors. L. F. PASSEBOIS MARITIME F. W. Stray, Prey. � Frank Vansickle, Sec.-Trea.. Office address � Memramcook, N. B. MARITIME ACADEMY Following the St. John general meeting, the Conference Committee, together with the Union Conference representatives present, and Pro- fessor M. E. Cady of the General Conference Educational Department, visited Memramcook. There we studied together the educational needs and possibilities of the Maritime Con- ference. We believe that the results which will follow the earnest and conscientious study of this feature of Maritime Conference activity by the Local, Union, and General Conference repre- sentatives during the past months will be fully justified and rewarded to the advantage of the Conference, and blessing of our youth. A broad platform of Christian education in harmony with the instruction given us through the Spirit of Prophecy has been considered, and the initial steps taken to set it in operation. Beginning with our children in the churches, it is purposed to establish church schools in the larger centres. For those who are isolated, and can attend a boarding school, a church school department will be conducted in our plant at Memramcook. Finishing church school, the youth may then go on to Maritime Academy for two years work. The Academy will be conducted as a ten-grade boarding school. Following this the student in pursuit of a Christian education, will proceed to our Union Conference College at Oshawa, where the facilities and teaching staff are in advance of what can be provided here. Thus parents and youth will find "value received" marked over against every bit of toil and sacrifice de- voted to Christian education. One of the prime requisites to the operation of Maritime Academy, in order that it may serve the largest number of our youth, is the reduction of rates. This has been made pos- sible, and could only be by bringing the num- ber of the faculty within the compass of ten grades .of work. The heavy work of a twelve- grade boarding academy, to give the best in- struction, requires a faculty of eight, and is crippled as it is reduced below that number. Last year we reduced to five. The rates for room, board, and tuition, have been reduced as follows. Previously, for grades EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER � 5 one to six, it has been $20.50 per month, and grades seven and eight, $24.50, making an average of $22.50. The rate now set for grades one to eight is $18.00. Formerly for the grades above eight, it was $28.50. It is now set at $20.00. Three hours work per day additional is required of the student. After consideration of the personnel of a faculty, which we have for many weeks recog- nized as a probability, it culminated in the conviction that those most familiar with the situation, who had received their training or part of it in Maritime Academy, with a real burden for the success of their Alma Mater and for our boys and girls, would, other things being equal, be best qualified to carry on. Professor John Sutherland has been called to act as principal and manager, Brother Alex Vickers as preceptor, Mrs. Alex Vickers as preceptress and matron. We believe that the conference will rally to the support of these instructors, and encourage our youth in at- tendance. It is planned to start at least one new church school this year, if arrangements may be con- summated. The Academy buildings need paint- ing, and the heating and lighting systems re- placed, so that heat and light may be more economically provided. This will entail con- siderable expense, with the most economical in- stallation possible. The plan is to launch a campaign at the proper time to raise funds for this purpose. In the General Conference arrangement for our schools a fund is provided upon which the Academy may draw for the present, sufficient to meet the interest on the debt. It was thought best to postpone the matter of a fund to pay off the debt, until the Academy is operating on this new plan for a time, and the money raised for repairs. In view of the financial assistance provided by the General Conference and their sympa- thetic co-operation in solving our educational problem, and above all in view of the heavy load they carry for a world in ruin and on the brink of perdition, we are sure that the Mari- time believers will not place home work above our foreign missions program as a people, but will rally with determination to make our full sixty-cent-per-week to missions as a Confer- ence. We are glad to announce midway in the year that this is altogether possible, and quite probable if we continue as we have begun the year. The faculty will visit our churches during the summer months in the interest of the youth, and the general help they may give. Sister Vickers is Conference Sabbath School and Young People's Missionary Volunteer Secretary and Brother Vickers is Conference Home Mis- sionary Secretary, and Brother Sutherland Educational Secretary. They will do the field work of these departments in summer, and by correspondence during school terms. The Con- ference officers will give them special assistance in these departments during school. We are sorry to lose the services of Sister Lulu VanBuskirk in the Sabbath School De- partment. She has carried it on to the blessing of our Sabbath school work in all our churches, under great physical weakness, until the bur- den has become too great even for her great devotion to this cause. May all our prayers unite for her recovery according to the will of God. The Conference Committee is united, and we are sure all our people will be, in appreciation of the services rendered by our Union Confer- ence President, Elder McVagh, in bringing to us the matured judgment and careful counsel of years of experience in responsible positions in the cause. He has from the first maintained that some way must be found to save Maritime Academy to the cause. Every conference worker, and every member of the Executive Committee stands foursquare to our new educational program, and the fac- ulty of the Academy. They are filled with courage, and good hope for success. We be- lieve that the entire membership of the confer- ence will unite in such a program and spirit for the salvation and Christian education of our boys and girls. F. W. STRAY ST. JOHN, N. B. From Oshawa the general and union labor- ers journeyed directly to St. John, N. B. The meeting here was a short but inspiring one. Elder James gave an interesting and helpful series of studies on the Spirit of Prophecy. The health talks by Brother Hansen and the studies on Christian education by Prof. Cady were all much appreciated. By special invi- tation Prof. Cady gave an address in one of the Baptist churches of the city on Sunday evening. The regular meetings were held in Paradise Hall, very centrally located with ad- ditional meetings in the Orange Hall. The at- 6. � EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER tendance from the city was encouraging. In addition to the general and union laborers who attended the Ontario camp-meeting, Elder Strickland, on furlough from China, gave much appreciated help. The attendance appeared to be almost, if not quite, as large as that at the regular conference session at Memramcook one year ago. Nearly all the churches and corn7 panies of believers in New Brunswick were rep- resented at the meeting and some from Nova Scotia. It is planned to hold another just such an inspiring meeting at Halifax later this fall. The term of the meetings passed quickly, and the people returned to their homes refreshed and encouraged. Sister Amy Frank remained to audit the conference and school books. Prof.. Cady and Elder Wilson went on to Newfoundland. The other general brethren returned to Washington and the writer to Oshawa to get out the special evolution number of the Watchman. Don't miss the account of the debate in San Francisco that appears in the September Watchman. C. F. MCVAGH HALIFAX ITEMS Elder and Mrs. Capman have left for a visit to their son in New York state, attending the St. John meeting en route. After heavy work during. their labors with us we believe they will return much refreshed by this change. Just be- fore leaving Mrs. Capman was presented with a. fountain pen, as a parting gift, Mrs. Gough reading the following address, and Miss Mc- Diarmid making the presentation: "We cannot allow this occasion to pass with- out expressing to you our regret at your de- parture, temporarily though it is, and we trust that every day may be filled with happiness. We also wish to take this opportunity to ex- press to you our deep appreciation of your services in the interest of all church activities. As a slight token of our esteem and Y respect for you we would kindly ask you to accept this little gift. During your absence from the city we will be 'mindful of your conscientious and faithful work and will eagerly await your return." Signed, "The Members of the Women's Auxiliary" After a long absence, spent in Western Can- ada and the United States, Miss Carrie Dau- phinee has returned to her home in this city for an extended vacation. Miss Mabel Patter- son is also visiting her home after several years of service in South America. The week-end of July 17 to 19 Elder W. E. Strickland took. charge of the services at the church.. Sunday evening he gave a stereopticon lecture-on China. He 'was accompanied by his wife and two boys, Mrs. Phipps, and Miss Reita Phipps, Mrs. Strickland's mother and sister. ONTARIO D. J. C. Barrett, Pres. � G. L. Sather, Sec.-Tr6as, Office address � 3 Awde St., Toronto ONTARIO CAMP MEETING The Ontario camp-meeting, held on the Col- lege campus, Oshawa, was an encouraging feast of goOd things to those in attendance. While there were no business meetings of a regular conference session, all phases of the work were .considered and more time than is usually pos- sible.was given'to Bible study, instruction, and meetings for spiritual uplift. Besides the reg- ular conference laborers, good help- from • the General and Union Conferences was present. Among the General workers were, Elder J. S. James, Prof. M. E. Cady, and L. A. Hansen from Washington, D. C., and all the available laborers from the Union. The workers met daily for prayer and study. This meeting was enjoyed by many of the laity, as, well as the ministers and public laborers. We are all workers together with God. Opportunity was frequently given for reconsecration and testi- mony. On the last day of the meeting six were baptized. The attendance was about 350. Literature sales amounted -to over $400 and contributions to missions in cash and pledges totalled about $1800. This is indeed a splendid offering for those present and we hope that those wh' were not privileged to attend will add to this by bringing in a liberal Midsummer offer- ing in response to the urgent appeals from the mission fields. The visitors not of our faith were not numerous, but seemed deeply .'im- pressed with what they heard and saw. The evening subjects were all of a distinctively doc- trinal nature and inspired the old- Sabbath keepers as" well as the visitors. We were fa- vored with good weather for the meeting. C. F. McVAGu EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER � '7 BRANTFORD AND VICINITY During the past six months, Mrs. Mack- intosh and the. writer have been .labouring in Brantford and Paris, also making frequent visits with the church members at Galt. God has blessed our humble efforts and we are glad to report a number preparing for baptism. During camp-meeting we were asked tot join Brother and Sister Wm. P. Young in an effort in the North, so we had only one more Sabbath with our friends here. • Friday evening we met with the church in Galt. We had a very pleasant service. At the close a number accompanied us to' the station where we bade farewell. We trust that God will be with these faithful members and reward their efforts for the cause. Sabbath morning we met with the church in Paris. We have truly enjoyed many pleasant visits with the brethren and sisters there and would request the prayers of the MESSENGER family for those who have recently taken their stand for the Master as well as those who have been convicted, but have not yet surrendered. In 'the afternoon we met with the church in Brantford. Here we have a foreman in one of Brantford's leading industrial plants who 'has taken his .stand for the truth. We trust he will become a staunch soldier of the cross. We have many little tokens by which we shall often be reminded of our friends in Brantford and we earnestly pray that God will bless them in their service for Him. We leave a number of interested ones whom we hope will someday take their stand. We move on to another field feeling God has called us and we will be blessed. D. MACKINTOSH OUR FIRST SABBATH SCHOOL IN NEW LISKEARD On returning to the canvassing field, I was pleased to attend the first Sabbath School in New Liskeard. Brother and Sister Macintosh and 'Brother and Sister Young, have arrived here to begin a tent effort. Last Sabbath, July 18 they organized a Sabbath School with a membership of seven, which surely was enjoyed. We are trusting to God that around this nucleous may be gathered a larger company of Sabbath keepers as a result of this sum- ' flier's ASA, which begins this coming week. Those engaged in this effort solicit the pray- , -ers of the believers to this end. HERBERT MOYST ON THE. RESERVE , . � • For a long time the Indians on the Si' Na- tions Reserve had looked forward to July 9, the time, set 'for a social evening to be hekl•.on the lawn of the Mission home .there. As the evening drew on, men, women, 'and chil- dren left their biirdens of the harvest fields and began to assemble. The writer with his family was seated in front of the house to receive the visitors and soon the Indians, from the aged sire, bordering on 90 years old, to the child and infant in the mother's arms, made up the "tout-ensemble" of the gathering. After the opening address and introduction of the family to the people, a program con- sisting of recitations, songs, musical selections and games was heartily enjoyed by all. Chief Montior sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" in the Indian language, the company joining in the chorus in English. Refreshments were served consisting of ice cream, lemonade, cake and sandwiches. The way they disap- peared gave evidence :that that part of the program was enjoyed fully as much as the other part of the entertainment. The Indian ladies provided the cakes, every one of which showed skill and taste in the cul- inary art.and would grace the table of a city lady. The writer announced the approaching tent meeting to be held on the western part of the Reserve in .a. short time. We believe. much prejudice was removed and a real social stand-% ing and confidence established. WM. C. YOUNG THEY GOT IN While the daily newspapers in China were displaying in bold headlines and long articles the doings of the Panchan Lama, or living Buddha of Tibet, who it was claimed )-lad brought rain through his miracle working vase, two of our brethren, one an American and the other a Chinaman, determined to see him and get his signature. After several turn-downs they succeeded in getting past the guards, pri- vate secretaries and other red tape, and were ushered into his holy ( ?) presence. He'received them smilingly, asked many questions about America and our work, and expressed great appreciation of the work being done by .Dr. J. N. Andrews for his people' on the borders of Tibet. They presented the Chinese Medical' Book 8 � EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER Eastern Canadian Messenger OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE EASTERN CANADIAN UNION CONFERENCE OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Volume 25 � July 28, 1925 � Number 29 Office Address � - � - � - � - � - Oshawa, Ont.

Although he is regarded by the Tibetans as a "living God" yet Seventh- day Adventist colporteurs, representatives of the true God, were able to get by all barriers and call attention to the Message. They got in. "There is nothing too hard for the Lord." - WEDDINGS Argo - De Man A very quiet wedding was celebrated at the writer's home on Tuesday, July 7, when Mr. Peter Argo and Miss Cornelia De Man were united in marriage. Brother Argo is local elder of the Mattawa church. His wife recently came to this country from Holland, and since coming among us has given evidence of being a sincere and earnest Christian. Their friends and acquaintances extend best wishes and solici- tations for a happy wedded life. D. J. C. BARRETT Sheneman - Abray It was my pleasant privilege to officiate at the marriage, which took place June 24, 1925 at the home of the bride's parents, at Highgate, Ont., of Frances Maude Abray and Herman Lee Sheneman. The young people are both earnest Christians, graduates of the Washing- ton Sanitarium nurses' course and with the de- sire to give their lives to the cause of truth. Now that they are united after God's order, we join their many friends in wishing them His richest blessings with increased happiness and an enlarged field of usefulness. For the present they will reside in Cleveland, Ohio, the home of the bridegroom. The wedding cere- mony took place in a room tastefully decorated with an arch and flowers. The ceremony was witnessed by a large number of relatives and friends who gave them many beautiful and useful gifts. � C. F.
