EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER • VOL. 21 � OSHAWA, ONTARIO, AUG. 2, 1921 No, n, A Good .Report For our personal encouragement the Bible tells us that a `-`good report maketh the bones fat." I an confirmed in my own mind that this is truer from more than one point of yiew, for by the manifest way the Lord has helped us this. year thus far our hearts have been greatly cheV170. Union For the first six months of 1920 we have had an average of twelve colperteurs in the field for each month, or .seventy-two . all told. These colporteurs secured 'ordera amounting to $11,- 016.85. For the first six months of this year, extiluaive of the magatine sales, with the pos- sible exception of a few that might have crept into the annmary of book sales, our sales total $25,390.45, or a gain of 180 per cent. The first six months of this year we have had a monthly average of twenty colporteurs in the field, or 4 total of one hundred twenty-two. This gain in book colporteurs and aggregate sales Causes us to feel that God has been with us in a very manifest *ay, notwithstanding the general slump that has fastened its grim teeth upon the business world. God has the af-. fairs of his work well in hand, therefore he will guide it on safely and securely to its final des- tination. Maritime - Brother Crooks, who has the work in charge in Maritime, has made excellent progress dur:- ing the first six months of the year. •The book. sales amount to $5,501.86, or a gain over the first six months of last year of $3,603,05, This is a very commendable gain., Asid f e roM the regular "book sales the -Maritime colporteurs have sold $670.75 worth of the Canadian Watchman magazines. This of course does not include the large number sold by the chiliches under the auspices of the home missionary de- partment. This .would bring the grand total of literature ssles, by the colporteurs alone up to the splendid mark of $6,172,60 in the Mari- time Conference for the first six months' of the' year.

Last year up to the first of July Ontario had thirty-seven colporteurs in the field, and they sold $7,592.30 worth of books, while for the first six months of this year we have had thirty-four colpor- teurs in the field who have sold $10,027.20 worth. This does not include the magazine sales. As I have never received a report of the magazine sales from the office, I am unable to give the total, but I think I am safe in say- ing that the magazine workers in Ontario have done as well as those in the other conferences. In summing up the total amount of work done in Eastern Canada for the first half of the year I have great cause for rejoicing, and I feel that our good brethren and sisters throughout the union will rejoice with me when they see what God has done through this de- partment of his work. E. M. FISHELL ONTARIO J. H. McEachern, Pres. �L. Marietta, Sec-Treas. Office address � 3 Awde St., Toronto. St. Catharines "And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown lifted up as an ensign upon his land." Zech. 9: 16. July 6 was a day of great rejoicing to the church here, as the writer led eight precious souls into the watery grave, where they arose to walk in newness of life. " They shall be mine saith the Lord of hosts in that day when I make up my jewels." As the church assem- bled at Port Dalhousie, on the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario, for this solemn service, the Spirit of the Lord came very near to all. A few others are keeping the Sabbath and will be baptized later on. Our work in this city and surrounding towns has been a great pleas- ure and encouragement. The Lord has greatly blessed our feeble efforts and given us fruit for our labor. We have a number interested and about ready to make their desicion. We are hoping to have another baptism in the near future when we expect as many more to take part. We have watched the steady increase in all branches of our church and Sabbath school work. Beginning with a membership of fifteen we now have twenty-three and the Sab- bath school has increased to thirty-one. We ask the prayers of our people for this part of the Lord's vineyard. W. H. and MRS. BOYCE Missionary Volunteer Reading Course We are sure all our young people are anx- iously awaiting the announcement of the new reading course books. This year we have one of the best selections, and all will want to read these soul stirring and inspiring books. Perhaps many will be surprised to learn that about 20,000 Reading Course books are dis- tributed each year. We trust every family, where there are young people, will decide on the course most suitable—whether senior, junior, or primary. One reason why these books are so interesting is because they deal with our work and workers. The books for the present year 1921-22 are: Senior Reading Course No. 15 " Escape from Siberian Exile " by John Jacques, price $1.50. " In the Land of Pagodas," by Robert B. Thurber, price $1.50. " Youthful Witnesses," by W. A. Spicer, price $1.50. " Education," by Mrs. E. G. White, price $1.75. The set of four books ordered together $5.25. Campmeeting rate $5.00. In the first book " Escape from Siberian Ex- ile," the author, one of our workers, tells of his being banished to Siberia, of the terrible ex- periences in prisons where he was herded with desperate criminals, and of his final decision to make a break for liberty. He describes his flight over 6,000 miles of frozen snows, without a guide. It is wonderfully interesting, and shows a spirit of Christian heroism. Do not fail to read it. The second book " In the Land of Pagodas " by Elder Robert Thurber, tells about Burma, the land of thousands of pagodas, and narrates the adventures of pioneering mission-schools among the Burmese. Interwoven all through the story are vivid descriptions of the myster- ies of the pagodas and the yellow robed priests. But best of all it tells of victories won for the cross amid adverse surroundings. The third book " Youthful Witnesses," by Elder Spicer, tells of young men and women, EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER � 8 and even children who witnessed for Christ in the most trying situations where death was the alternative. The narrative of these experien- ces will stimulate courage and Christian hero- ism in the hearts of our young people who have to face the trying future. The fourth book, " Education," by Sister White, is well known to all, and one which every young person should read. It gives a vision of what true education really is. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world, and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come. The Junior Reading Course consists of three books, namely: " Tan and Teckle," by Chas. Lee Bryson, price $1.50. (or the story of two little field mice and their companions in the forest.) " Argonauts of Faith ": The Adventures of the " Mayflower " Pilgrims, by Basil Matthews, price $1.50. " Strange Peoples and Customs," by Mrs. I. H. Evans, price $1.50. (Written by the same author as " Easy Steps in the Bible Story.") The set of three books ordered together is only $4.25. Campmeeting rates $4.00. The juniors will take great delight in reading each of these wonderfully interesting books. Parents, be sure to order these books for your children. Then there is the Primary Course consisting of one book, " Friends of Ours," by Elizabeth Colson, price 950 ; also " Outline Pictures for the Primary Child " by Lillie A. Faris, price 500. This latter selection is a little out of the ordinary, but the pictures will be very interest- ing to the little folks. They consist of fifty- two pictures to be colored by the child as fol- lows : Thirteen Animals of the Bible Thirteen Trees of the Bible Thirteen Birds of the Bible Thirteen Flowers of the Bible The colors that should be used are indicated at the bottom of each picture. The book and pictures ordered together are $1.45. Campmeeting rate $1.35. Be sure to take the Reading Course this year, the books are better than ever.

Ontario Young People Notice Reading Course books ordered in Ontario Conference during the month of AUGUST will be sold at campmeeting rates, provided cash accompanies order. A very interesting and profitable program was recently rendered in the Toronto church on the occasion of the graduation of the Tor- onto and Hamilton classes in home nursing. From the demonstrations in the program it was evident to all that the training had been both practical and efficient. At the close of the exercises, the instructor, Sister Henderson of Hamilton, was presented with a fine bunch of American beauty roses from the class at Hamilton, and a fountain pen from the Toronto class. Sister Henderson has had these classes under instruction for several months, giving her services free. Those who were privileged to be present at the program were made to ap- preciate the possibilities that lie within the reach of our people to become real home mis- sionaries, prepared to lend a helping hand to a suffering world. F. G. LANE + � London Tent Effort The tent effort in London has increased in interest wonderfully the last two weeks. On week nights now the tent is well filled, and on Sunday evening, July 17, every seat was occu- pied and scores were standing outside the tent. The subject was " Spiritism Exposed." We have never seen a more earnest class of people than attend our meetings. Many of them have expressed their need of spiritual help, and we are visiting them in their homes. Prospects for Sabbath keepers are good, as many of these good people are hungering for truth, which they are not receiving in their own churches. They take great interest in the song service, and during the hot nights the peo- ple have sung heartily. Our offerings are not as large as in previous years, owing to unemployment of many, but at present we are receiving more in collections than we are paying out for total expenses. As workers we ask the prayers of God's peo- ple in the interest of the London effort. Last Sabbath eight were baptized and received into church membership. We expect another bap- tism at the close of the tent effort. Some are already preparing for the next baptismal class. J. and MRS. CAPMAN H. J. and MRS. CAPMAN DUNCAN McDOUGALL EDITH H.

ElderSaunders, the Union Educational and Young People's secretary, met with the Co- bourg and Port Hope believers last Sabbath. ,He reports a fine meeting and the families there much interested in planning for a church school. The. Ontario Conferenee committee met again July 25 to give further study to the needs of this field: Elder Knox of the General Con- ference and Elder Stray of the Eastern Cana- dian Union were invited to meet with them. The counsel of these experienced men was indeed valuable to us in grappling with our local prob- lems. Brother F. G. Hill, a charter member of the Ontario Cediferetied, was a recent visitor in Toronto. He is now a member of the execu- tive committee. His close touch with the work in Ontario for many years, together with his good business judgment makes him a valuable asset to the committee. Let every believer in Ontario go forward re- joicing in the:blessed hope of the soon coming of Jesui, each saying to his brother, " Be of good courage." MARITIME I. L. Wilson, Fres. � Amy Frank, Sec.-Treas. Office address � Memramcook, N. B. Campmeeting The Maritime earriptheeting will be held at Meriiranicooki N. B. Sept. 1-10. We are ex- f3ecting great things at this feast of taber- nacles. Never in the histOry of this message has it been more necessary for God's people to " gather theinselVeS together," than at the pres- ent One. Pray that the Lord will .give us a special Outpouring Of his Spirit at this animal gatherifig: � J. L. WILSON A Trip Through Nova Scotia Accompanied by Professor Armstrong and Brother Donaldson, we started June 23, to visit the ehtirehes and isolated believers in Nova Scotia. Three years ago,we made a sim- ilar tour with the car, so we looked forward With considerable pleasure to meeting some of the dear brethren and sisters whom we had not seen since that time. Elder Fishell had ar- ranged for Brother Crooks to meet him in Hali- fai to hold a short institute there for the bene- fit of some prospective colporteurs, who have since entered the field. Consequently it was arranged that only Professor Armstrong would remain in Halifax to visit the workers there, while Brother Donaldson would spend the Sab- bath with the Tantallon Church, and we would meet with the coinpany at Indian Harbor. We were pleased with the good attendance at the Harbor church, especially as no announce- ment had been made of our visit. This fact showed that our people are faithful in attend- ance at Sabbath services. Sabbath morning we called on Brother Covey, the aged elder of the church, and found his hope bright in this glorious truth, and he is working faithfully that the coming of the Lord may be hastened. We returned and Sunday evening held a meeting at Tantallon church. The members there appreciated Brother Donaldson's visit and the instruction he gave them. This has become one of our strongest churches. Fortunately the isolated members at Fox Point had been able to reach the church that day* and they felt that God had especially impressed them to make the effort to attend, even though they did not know that workers would be present. Leaving Tantallon, we called on the fam- ilies at Fox Point, and were impressed anew with the fact that here is a strong nuclei's for another church. For some time they had not been holding a Sabbath school, but since our visit, we have received word that they are re- organizing their school, and hope to prove faith- ful in carrying out the weekly program. Miss Verge has been invited to these three companies to spend several weeks in visiting. At Mahone we visited Brother Munroe, One Of our regular Colporteurs, and found hiin of good courage. Elder Fishell and Professor Armstrong joined us after leaving Fox Point, so the former remained with Brother Munroe over the Sabbath, visiting some families in that district who are on the verge of making a de- EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER cisiori in favor of this truth, as a result of Brother Munroe's work. Passing through Liverpool, we called on a sister there, who became interested in this truth through reading our literature, and who has been keeping the true Sabbath since last Oc- tober. • Miss Verge while soliciting there for the Ingathering had called on her and had a Bible study. All through the conference we find just such instances where the seed sown by some colporteur is bearing fruit. We had sent word to the church at Barring- ton that we would be with them for the evening so they had made an effort to let the people of that community know. When we arrived we found a well-filled meeting house. The church members have been conducting a regular week- ly service in the hall, and they expect some souls before many months have passed. The strong interest that was manifested at the two meetings held there is an indication that their hope is not vain. The following Sabbath we were with the brethren of Sandy Cove and Tiverton. Some of these brethren had not seen a worker for more than four years, and there were also there, Brother and Sister Theriault, who had never seen an Adventist minister. Brother and Sister Amos Outhouse have year after year been sowing the seed up and down Digby Neck. As a result they reported one sister and her daughter keeping the Sabbath. We called on them and were glad to speak words of encour- agement to these new Sabbath keepers. The daughter has been ill for several months, but her hope is in Jesus and she waits for his return. Professor Arthstrong left us at Digby and visited the few believers who remain at Scott's Bay. Sunday evening we joined him at Can- ning, returning together to the office. This trip has served to encourage our hearts, for everywhere the spirit of service is uppermost and the spirit Of loyalty is manifested in every department. Hard times has not seemed to in any way interfere with the loyalty to this riieSsage, for the believers have been faithfully supporting the work at home and abroad by keeping up their tithes and offerings. J. L. WILSON AMY FRANK kemember Educational Sabbath AUGUST 13 Maritime Academy We have closed a busy school year at Mari- time Academy—a happy year, full of perplex- ities and blessings. Recently the writer had the privilege of making a trip around the shore line of Nova Scotia, visiting the young people in the churches and those isolated. One of the thoughts up- permost in my mind was that of the love of God as shown in his wonderful works in earth, sea, and sky. I appreciated the kind hospi- tality of the people as manifested to me on this trip. As I passed through the different places where there are no Seventh-day Adventists, the thought came to me that we ought to have hun- dreds where there are tens. We have a mighty task yet to accomplish right at our very doors. What can we do? What are we doing? It has brought joy to my heart to know that in every country through which I passed we have boys and girls who are carrying our literature to the people. Our people have been in these provinces for years, but we have only touched the work with the tips of our fingers. We sometimes talk of our young people en- tering the work after they have obtained their education, but they are in the work now while earning their way through school by selling our books and magazines. But it is the ybung people who have been in school who are going to do the work. I thank God that we have a school in Maritime to inspire our young peo- ple to enter this blessed work. The hope of the Maritime provinces is in the young people. You have done much for them, but if you love the message you will do everything you can to get them into the school, which is the gateway to service. This school has been planted by God. Twice has the prince of the power of the air en- deavored to destroy the building, once by wind and recently by fire. God spared it for the young people of this conference. Shall we not press in, realizing that God has placed his pro- tecting hand over this school? The prospects are bright for next year. What are your plans, young people, fathers and mothers? Are all the young people in this conference on the altar for service? It makes me sad to see our young people turn to the wood and water. Let the gentiles do that, God is calling you. " Today if you will hear his voice, harden not' your hearts." Like Pi- late of Galilee, you may choose. The Jews of Palestine chose Barabbas. Pilate also chose 6 � EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER him because he did not take his stand for Jesus. The people of our day are choosing the world in that they do not take a definite stand for Jesus and his work. God wants every young person in the Maritime provinces to become a worker. The wages is eternal life. Maritime Academy is your gateway to service. The harvest fields are white, The laborers are few ; And lo, behold the sight, The gate's ajar for you. The Master's in the field, He's beckoning your way ; Come friend, a sickle yield, Come while 'tis called today. The storm clouds gather low, Earth's day will soon be gone; And swift the hours go, The night is coming on. The gate's ajar, ajar, ajar ! The laborers are few, I point you to that gate ajar, I'm beckoning to you. I. A. ARMSTRONG Good News from Newfoundland I received the following from Elder Manuel in the north of Newfoundland: " When I received your letter I wrote to Brother Joyce, and while waiting for an ans- wer from him I went to Point Leamington and baptized eight—five men, heads of families, and three women. There are others keeping the Sabbath there, and still others interested. We are planning to have a baptism here before we leave. The brethren are coming down from Pt. Leamington to spend Sabbath, and we ex- pect to organize a church. The New Bay Sab- bath school offering was fifty-seven dollars for this quarter apart from Pt. Leamington. We need workers badly in this field as well as in others. Satan is working hard. Every point of the message is contested." When we remember that among the one quar- ter million inhabitants of the dominion of New- foundland—mostly church members—the only, baptized people among them are the few Sev- enth-day Adventists besides about thirty peo- ple in a mission in St. John's, we may rejoice in such news as this from Brother Manuel. There are no Baptists in Newfoundland. We under- stand that the people have a superstition that their blood will change if baptized and that they will sicken and die. This is doubtless en- couraged by the priesthood of the substitu- tionary churches. It is easier on this account to get people to keep Sabbath than to lead them to baptism. All the churches of Newfoundland except the Seventh-day Adventist and the mis- sion referred to, substitute sprinkling of in- fants for believer's baptism. F. W. STRAY � ++ � + � + Dear Student Colporteur : Just a word to you on the firing line this morning, to let you know that we are thinking and praying for you. My heart is ever with the colporteur, having spent some time in this field myself. I believe this department, in the providence of God, is in our work to help our young people who wish to get a Christian edu- cation, and are willing to work for it. It is true that it takes courage, hard work and real grit ; but it fits young people as no other line of endeavor, to meet the real issues of life. Many a morning you will feel discouraged and will be tempted to feel that no one cares for you. The devil will do all in his power to lead you to think you are not called to that line of work, but just remember, that is one of the strongest proofs that you are called. The first chapter of Jeremiah has always helped me greatly at such times. Jeremiah was young, but the Lord said, " Say not, I am a child. . . . Be not afraid of their faces : for I am with thee to deliver thee." There is nothing like much prayer, for an hour of devotion in the morning will give you more courage and take more orders for you than anything else. My admonition to you is, be strong and of good courage, for the Lord is on our side, and will see that we come off victorious, if we endure as good sol- diers. He stands ready to help and will send his angels to prepare the way, and heaven is recording the days of seemingly lonely toil. I am looking forward to the opening day of school, for that will mean that we can listen to your experiences from the field. I wish you could get your scholarship in time to attend the campmeeting, for we are planning to have an 0. M. C. rally day, and we want you to be there if possible. Praying that the Lord will richly bless you, give you grace for each day's trials and help you to be a real soul-winner, I remain Your faithful friend and brother, K. L.

While on the steamer from Prince Rupert to Vancouver I met two nurses who were just grad- uated from a Methodist hospital in Alberta. As we talked along religious lines, it was only natural that I should tell them something of Our Canadian Watchman. At the mention of the name they both exclaimed: " Why 'that is the magazine we saw in the hospital reading room. We eiijoyed reading it ;and had thought to subscribe.° Before our 'hoat docked at Vancouver, 1 received their subscriptions and they appeared, as_spleased to subscribe as I was to take their order. Somebody had been doing real missionary work in using the Watchman. Was it you? How much joy might be ours if we would only walk in God's opening providences, and use the literature prepared and waiting for us. Our people are all glad to see the Watchman• winning its way into, the hearts of the people,. but have you used every opportunity to place 4 few copies in your neighborhood? You can get five copies of any one number and see how zpu enjoy the work. The July number is es- pecially good to begin with. Because our Lord is leading the ranks of this movement we can with assurance say that what- ever may occur. to upset the regular order of things in this Al world, the speed and power of the message is increasing. Let us ask our- selves, " Can I increase my usefulness in this grand work? " H. H. BANS Have you remembered the foreigner in your district? What can we send you from our damaged stock of foreign literature? We are practically giving them away. What better book than "Christ Our Saviour" could you lend that Polish neighbor? It would make a beautiful gift. send us fifty cents and we will mail one to you. Have you not a German or Swedish friend who would enjoy reading " The Coining King? " It might help him prepare to. meet 'his Lord and add a star to your crown. Order a book today by sending in $1.00, and the address. What better book than the " Life of Christ " by Mrs. E. G. White could you lend your French speaking neighbor? Send us $1.50 and we will send you a aopy in morocco binding, but slightly damaged.
