Abide 
Let naught thy faith, thy purpose, turn aside. 
Say unto grief and pain and seeming ill, 
" All ways are God's, and I but follow still 
His leading in the darkness deep and wide." 
Abide, 
Albeit thou art vexed with doubt, and tried 
By every test the steadfast soul may know. 
Still say, " I trust," and with calm spirit go 
The way God wills: for He is at thy side. 
Abide, 
In that sure love that never yet denied. 
He who has promised thee, is He not true? 
Nor surer winter's snow nor summer's dew 
Than God's rewarding. Heaven will provide! 
Abide, 
Nor let the paths of life and hope divide. 
Hold fast thy faith, whate'er the trial be. 
Yea, hold it fast, as God holds fast to thee, 
And soon, ah! soon, thou shalt be satisfied. 
James Buckharn. 
Mahatma Gandhi's Four Points 
A well-known missionary, the Rev. Stanley 
Jones, tells us the following:— 
" In conversation one day with the famous 
Indian, Mahatma Gandhi, I said: Mahatma 
Gandhi, I am very anxious' to see Christianity 
naturalized in India, so that it shall be no 
longer a foreign thing identified with a foreign 
people and a forign government, but a part 
of the national life of India, and contributing 
its power to India's uplift and redemption. 
What would you suggest that we do to make 
that possible?' 
" He very gravely and thoughtfully replied: 
I would suggest first that all of you Chris-
tians, missionaries and all, must begin to 
live .more like Jesus Christ.' 
" He need not have said anything more—
that was enough. I knew that looking through 
his eyes were three hundred millions of India, 
and speaking through 10 voice were the dumb 
millions of the East saying to me, a representa-
tive of the West, and through me to the very 
West itself, If you will come to us in the 
spirit of your Master .we cannot resist you.' 
Never was there a greater challenge to .the 
West than that, and never was it more sin-
cerely given. 
" Second,' said Gandhi, I would suggest 
that you 
practice your religion 
without adulterating it or toning it down.' 
" That is just as remarkable as the first. 
The greatest living non-Christian asks' us not 
to adulterate it or tone it down, not to meet 
them with an emasculated Gospel, but to take 
it in its rugged simplicity and high demand. 
But what are we doing? As someone has sug-
gested, we are inoculating the world with a mild 
form of Christianity, so that it is now prac-
tically immune against the real thing. As one 
puts it: Our churches are made up of people 
who would be equally shocked to see Christian-
ity doubted or put into practice.' I am not 
anxious to see India take a mild form — I 
want her to take the real thing. 
" 'Third, I would. suggest that you 
put your emphasis upon love 
for love is the centre and soul of Christianity.' 
" He. did not mean love as a sentiment, but 
love as a working force,. the one real power 
in a moral universe, and he wanted it applied 
between individuals and groups and races and 
nations, the one cement and salvation of the 
world. 'With a soul so sensitive to the mean-
ing of love, no wonder there were tears in his 
eyes when I read him at that poir.i the thir-
teenth chapter of First Corinthians. 
" Fourth,' continued Gandhi, I would sug-
gest that you study the non-Christian religions 
and culture more sympathetically in order to 
find the good that is in them, so that you might 
have 
a more sympathetic approach 
to the people.' 
" Quite right. We should be grateful for 
2 �
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER 
any truth found anywhere, knowing that it 
is a finger-post that points to Jesus Who is 
the Truth. 
" When I mentioned these four things to the 
Chief Justice of the High Court in N. India, 
the noble, sympathetic Christian Britisher ex-
claimed, ' He could not have put his finger 
on four more important things.' 
" Here, then, is the epitome of the whole 
thing: From every side they say we must be 
Christian, but Christian in a bigger, broader 
way than we have hitherto been." 
(EDITORIAL NOTE—The foregoing article 
taken from the " Eastern Tidings " written 
with the view of meeting India's problem, con-
tains practical suggestions for Canadian Chris-
tians. Thought-provoking emphasis is placed 
in the fundamentals of successful service, and 
may our readers register solemn resolve to 
present unadulterated Christiantiy to those 
with whom they mingle as families, friends, or 
business associates.) 
Caution 
We the members of the Executive Committee 
of the Eastern Canadian Union Conference of 
Seventh-day Adventists in session at Oshawa, 
March 20, 1927 feel that the legal prosecution 
of one of our members, Mrs. Sarah Arnold 
of Waterville, Quebec, on a charge of enticing 
Rose Germain, a young girl under sixteen 
years, from her father's control, makes a word 
of caution to our people and of instruction 
to all concerned timely. 
Seventh-day Adventists are a law-abiding 
people, and we disavow any responsibility for, 
or approval of, any illegal methods in church 
work on the part of our members or anything 
that tends to diminish proper respect for par-
ental or civil authority. 
We earnestly exhort all our members to zeal 
and faithfutlness in proclaiming the blessed 
everlasting gospel, *)and in helping the sick 
and needy and rescuing the fallen, but without 
trespassing upon the equal rights of our neigh-
bors, regardless of their religious convictions. 
In the present case we are sure that Sister 
Arnold was moved to do what she did from 
conscientious convictions and the highest mo-
tives. The Court graciously recognized that 
even though there was a technical violation of 
a good law intended for the moral protection 
of young girls, that in this case no moral 
pollution came to Rose Germain through her 
associations while away from her father's care. 
Her physical and spiritual environment and 
opportunities for betterment were improved by 
the change, but a good end does not justify 
wrong means, and we caution against the use 
of methods that have even the appearance of 
disregard for properly constituted authority. 
Ministry of a Colporteur Evangelist 
Literature may be good, but printing is 
only a part of the work. We must get it be-
fore the people; to print and leave it on the 
shelves is only that much time and money 
wasted if it stays there. To do this, we have 
the colporteur, and while he should be able to 
give an answer for the hope that is in him, his 
chief work is to place the publications in the 
homes of the people. 
Martin Luther realized the great importance 
of having young men out in the field going 
from home to home with the Reformation lit-
erature. " Young men, whose hearts had been 
touched by the power of the Reformation 
flocked to Wittenburg to learn more of the 
great truths that were being taught by the 
Reformers. In these young men Luther saw 
the hope of th Reformation. Therefore, to a 
large degree, the circulation of the Reforma-
tion literature became a student movement. 
Luther himself says, 'We gave them large prof-
its, that they might make their way, and be 
able to return to school.' " P. P. G. p 73. 
Zwingle saw the great work that Luther was 
doing and wrote to him asking him to send 
some colporteurs, as many as he could spare, 
to Switzerland, to work during vacation. Luth-
er sent forty. Later Zwingle wrote to him 
saying, " I have never before seen such young 
men as these. Their hearts are full of the 
power of the Reformation, and like flaming 
torches they go through these valleys of Swit-
zerland." Thus it was in the Reformation 
days and thus it is today: wherever the col-
porteur goes, he leaves a stream of light be-
hind him. 
Just as the hearts of the young men were 
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �
3 
filled with the power of the Reformation, so in 
these days we need men whose hearts are full 
of the power of the 'Third Angel's Message. 
" Christ calls for young men who will volunteer 
to carry the truth to the world. Men of spir-
itual stamina are wanted, men who are able 
to find work close at hand, because they are 
looking for it." C. E. p. 103. " In all parts 
of the field canvassers should be selected, not 
from the floating element in society, not from 
among men and women who are good for noth-
ing else, and have made a success of nothing, 
but from among those who have good address, 
tact, keen foresight and ability." C. E. p. 79. 
" Those of the best talent and ability, who will 
take hold of the work understandingly and sys-
tematically, and carry it forward with per-
severing energy, are the ones who should be 
selected." C. E. p. 180. 
In furthering the work, we read in Vol. 6, 
p. 329, " The presidents of our conferences 
and others in responsible positions have a duty 
to do in this matter, that the different branch-
es of our work may. receive equal attention." 
Again on the same page, " There is need of 
men of a deep Christian experience, men of 
well balanced minds, strong, well educated men, 
to engage in this work." On page 390, Vol. 
4, we read, " Men suited to this work undertake 
it ; but some injudicious minister will flatter 
them that their gift should be employed in 
the desk instead of simply in that of a col-
porteur. Thus the work is belittled. They 
are influenced to get a license to preach; and 
the very ones who might have been trained to 
make good missionaries to visit families at 
their homes and talk and pray with them, are 
caught up to make poor ministers ; and the 
field where so much labour is needed, and where 
so much good might be accomplished for the 
cause of God, is neglected. The efficient col-
porteur as well as the minister, should have a 
sufficient remuneration for his services, if his 
work is faithfully done."

Publishing Convention 
The publishing convention for the territory 
of the Canadian Watchman Press was held in 
Oshawa, March 8 to 15. This gathering 
brought in as delegates the conference presi-
dents, field missionary secteraries, home mis-
sionary secretaries, and the Book and Bible 
House secretaries of all Canada. There were 
twenty-one delegates present from :Western 
Canada and eleven from our own Union. The 
General Conference supplied us good help--
Elders N. Z. Town and W. W. Eastman from 
the Publishing Department and Elder E. F. 
Hackman of the Home Missionary Department. 
Elder J. L. McElhany, vice-president for the 
North American Division, was with us a por-
tion of the time and gave us some most ex-
cellent studies on that wonderful volume " Dan-
iel and Revelation." We were also pleased to 
have with us Brother E. T. Richmond, treas-
urer of the Review & Herald Association. 
Brother Richmond was superintendent of the 
Review & Herald when our Publishing House 
was planned, and he had much to do with the 
purchasing of our equipment and helping to 
get the factory in running order. He told us 
that he was greatly cheered by the work that 
he saw being done in the Publishing House 
now. 
The topics discussed at this gathering were 
numerous; in fact, our program booklet con-
sisted of more than sixteen pages. It was the 
first time that the workers from all Canada had 
met together in such a capacity, and truly it 
was a profitable occasion. 
During the convention the annual meeting 
of the Canadian Watchman Press was held 
and reports were presented from the various 
departments. The readers of the MESSENGER 
will be glad to know that the year 1926 was 
a good one for the firm in that .a net operating 
profit of $1,800 was earned and more than 
$7,000 paid off on our interest-bearing obliga-
tions. The sales showed a healthy increase in 
both Unions, so that our total sales of denom-
inational literature for the year were $132,000. 
This places our Canadian house sixth or sev-
enth among the publishing houses of the de-
nomination. Fully half of our working staff 
is composed of students who are working their 
way through college. 
Our convention was blessed with a remark-
able spirit of unity and optimism for the fut-
ure of the work in Canada. The brethren 
went to their fields anxious to put into practice 
the good things which they learned at this 
4 �
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER 
gathering, and we all look forward to an in-
crease in sales of our denominational litera-
ture and greater activity on the part of our 
church members in all missionary lines. The 
Lord has given us a wonderful organization so 
that we may all lift together for the accom-
plishing of our great task. H. H. RANS 
Giving God a Chance 
Much of our past failure in reaching the 
higher levels of Christian experience, I fear, 
has been due to our own self-sufficiency. We 
have trusted too much in self ; not enough in 
God. We have failed to fall on the Rock and 
be broken. We have not been contrite enough; 
not humble enough. We have not recognized 
our daily, our momentary dependence upon 
God. We have not sat long enough at His 
feet. We have been " careful and troubled 
about many things." And all too often have 
we forgotten or neglected the one thing need-
ful,—" that good part " which we have times 
without number permitted to be taken away 
from us by that evil. one, who ever seeks to 
obstruct the way to' the Mercy Seat. 
We have been too restless. Like Ahimaaz, 
we have wanted to run. And we have run. 
And all too frequently we have run without 
a definite message. " I saw a grat tumult, 
but I knew not what it was." There has been 
altogether too much of tumult and tempest 
in our lives ; not enough of heaven's calm. How 
often, like God's people of old, we have " lim-
ited the Holy One of Israel." Some may have 
limited the Lord by their sloth, but many have 
hinderd Him by their incessant but misguided 
activity. 
It is time to call a halt in the mad rush 
that sweeps us past the hour of prayer and 
quiet meditation. As Samuel said to Saul, 
" Stand thou, still awhile, that I may shew thee 
the Word of God." 1 Sam. 9: 27. Like Saul, 
some of us may have been engaged in a zealous 
but fruitless search for our Father's " asses." 
The asses, perhaps, have been found by others 
less honored than we, and our Father may have 
" left the care of the asses " in sorrowful con-
cern for us, saying, " What shall I do for my 
son? " 
But if we will " Stand still awhile "— long 
enough for us' to hear our Father speak — He 
will not only tell us where to find the lost 
" asses," but. if we will linger in His presence 
we may also experience the oil of a kingly 
anointing poured upon our heads. And as we 
turn to go from that Divine intercourse, it 
may be said of us as it was' said of Saul, 
" God gave him another heart." It is from 
such experiences as these that we shall find 
the way to the forward and the upper life,—
to the Spirit-filled life. " Then shalt thou go 
on forward from thence. After that thou 
shalt come to the hill of God, and the Spirit 
of the Lord will come upon thee." And some 
who have known us beforetime may wonder, 
" What is this that is come upon the son of 
Kish ? " 
Dear brethren and sisters, let us during 
1927 give God a chance in our lives. " Take 
time to be holy." May we learn to " love to 
steal away from every cumbering care." The 
servant of the Lord tells us to, " Educate your' 
mind to love the Bible, . . . to love the hour 
of meditation, above all the hour when the 
soul communes with God." Make a daily ap-
pointment with God, and keep the appointment. 
An hour with God each morning is 'the best 
day-light-saving scheme this world will ever 
know. 
" Christ never asks of us such busy labor 
As leaves no time for resting at His feet; 
The waiting attitude of expectation 
He ofttimes counts a service most compete. 
" He sometimes wanIts our ear, our rapt attention, 
That He some sweetest secret may impart; 
'Tis often in the time of deepest silence, 
That heart finds deepest fellowship with heart." 
L. L. Moffitt. 
A 1927 Experience 
The Home Missionary secretary of one of 
our conferences passes on the following item: 
A very interesting experience came to my 
attention a few days ago which I feel will be an 
encouragement to you, and you might use it. 
A Catholic family who lived next to an Advent-
ist family received a copy of the Review and 
Herald. The husband was especially interest-
ed in Elder Froom's article on " Present Day 
Conditions," which appeared in three sections. 
The lady became interested in other articles 
that appeared in the Review and, while they 
knew that it was an Adventist paper, the hus-
band said it was the best paper he had ever 
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �
5 
seen. They are now subscribing for the Re-
view and Herald that they might receive the 
good that it contains for their own experiences. 
The lady was riding*in a street car, happening 
to have the Review in her hand and reading it 
on her way home from town. Some one back 
of her recognized the Review and whispered, 
" She must be an Adventist." When the wo-
man got home, she told her husband she didn't 
care what people thought she was, she certainly 
appreciated the Review. This is' just one ex-
ample of an Adventist church paper, going 
into a Catholic home. 
There are hundreds of people who have more 
or less knowledge of the work of Seventh-day 
Adventists and who would be interested in 
reading our church paper. • Do not hesitate 
to pass yours along. It would be the most tell-
ing and effective kind of missionary work for 
persons who know something of us and who 
are at least somewhat interested in our activi-
ties.

St. John's 
For several weeks past we have been holding 
a series of meetings here in St. John's. From 
the first these meetings which are held, Sunday, 
Wednesday, and Friday evenings, have been 
well attented. Each Sunday evening the 
church has been filled. Last Sunday we needed 
extra seats to seat the congregation which came 
to hear the subject of the Judgment. 
For four weeks we have given Wednesday 
evening to some phase of the health message. 
Our own people as well as many not of our 
faith, have taken a splendid interest in the 
health talks. One hundred percent whole-
wheat bread, with more vegetables and fruit 
has become the order of the day. We have 
demonstrated to the people that good bread 
can be made out of whole-wheat flour. 
We cannot say yet what the outcome of the 
meetings will be. After holding four of five 
winter efforts here in St. John's, we quite 
understand that it is one thing to get the peo-
ple out to hear the massage, but it is quite 
another thing to get them over the line. There 
are always some, however, who have the cour-
age of their convictions and decide to obey 
God rather than man. 
We are planning to give our first sermon 
on the Sabbath question next Sunday evening, 
March 13, and we expect to see some take 
their stand with us on the commandments' of 
God and the faith of Jesus.

My day of days is without name 
Among the gala days of earth; 
No festival of ancient fame, 
Or day when nation had its birth; 
No place in human annals given, 
Its dawn no pen can yet portray; 
But in the Calendar of Heaven, 
It bears the name " Translation Day." 
Unseen, but drawing swiftly nigh, 
It brings the rapturous moment strange, 
When in the twinkling of an eye 
This flesh shall make the great exchange; 
When Life shall turn its mortal page, 
And I shall greet the life sublime, 
Where youth shall live its golden age 
Fore'er beyond the touch of Time. 
0, how shall thrill this mortal frame 
When like a meteor through the air, 
The angel trumpet shall proclaim 
The end of sorrow, pain, and care,—
When Time shall give his sceptre o'er, 
And Death, archfoe of mankind, 
The monster that now looms before, 
Shall be forever left behind! 
A higher law, a stronger power 
Than holds me to this fallen sphere, 
Shall draw me upward at that hour; 
And my glad feet, once lifted clear 
From this abode of crime and tears, 
Where hopes deceive and pleasures pain, 
Shall never through eternal years 
Rest on its sin-cursed soil again. 
For this we hope, for this we pray—
The coming of Translation Day.

Nightfall at Oshawa 
The light darkened gradually into night. 
Already below the horizon the sun cast back 
its last rays to be reflected on the sky in all 
the colors of the rainbow. The broad bands' 
of color tinted the sky to the zenith. Dis-
tinctly the seven colors stood out. A bright 
red hung low over the straight black horizon 
blending perfectly into orange, then yellow, 
green, blue, and darkening into indigo. As 
I watched, the darkness moved across the sky 
and the reflection shrunk like a thin veil before 
it. �
The evening, star stood alone in the heav- 
ens midway between the zenith and the western 
horizon. Below it the lights of a city came 
out and rivaled it in brightness. On the hori-
zon the black outline of a water tower was 
silhouetted against the sky and near it from the 
mouth of a giant stack belched a black streak 
across the rose and spread out to the south. 
The cedars in the foreground vanished into 
dark shadows. The glorious sunset became 
a line on the horizon, lingered a moment, then 
was gone. Night reigned. J.F.B. 
Colporteur Institute 
" Let's go canvassing! " Any sojourner is 
very likely to hear this around 0. M. C. at 
present. Brothers Carlill, Thumwood, Keir-
stead, Maurer, and .Elders Eastman, Camp-
bell, and McVagh have all taken part in the 
chapel exercises since the opening of the In-
stitute. 
One of the number gave us' a thrilling story 
of a goat chase. The canvasser was approach-
ing a house and saw a goat lying down quietly. 
Upon giving it a poke he was obliged to flee 
in an endeavour to escape its wrath. He 
dodged fences, trees, shrubs and houses but 
the goat would not give up. Then the goat 
made its final charge. Biff! Bang!—No not 
quite—the canvasser jumped up and caught 
hold of a protruding nail,— ouch! The goat 
hit the building instead. These experiences 
make canvassing a delight. 
We have been told that the story of Jonah 
is a fish story but it is true just the same and 
is a good illustration to show that colporteurs 
must not flee from duty and work ordained by 
God. 
Fire! Fire 
On a warm spring afternoon a long grey 
snakey something lay on the brown grass in 
front of the dormitory. A " Dormite " held 
its shiny brass head in his hand. Its tail ex-
tended into the Boys' entrance of the "Dorm." 
Then suddenly its twisted coils straightened 
out and a hiss came from its mouth: a hiss 
and a stream of water. The stream was' 
played on the side of the building. The sound 
of its splash drew the students' faces to their 
windows. Some came out to watch the fun. 
What's it all about? 
Only this, the " West Hall Dormites " be-
lieve in " be prepared." Immediately after 
dinner the fire committee tested the apparatus 
in the dormitory to ascertain its usefulness. 
The pressure in the hose was found to be 
strong enough to force a stream of water 
from the ground to the roof of the building. 
Indeed. one of the girls will verify that. The 
stream was accidently misdirected into her 
open window on the third story. When the 
sport of mimic fire fighting lost its attraction 
a game of blanket tossing was' suggested. Sev-
ral of the boys had sore backs before the 
blanket tore in half. 
A Stereopticon Lecture 
We were especially favored on Friday even- 
ing the eighteenth of March with a stereop- 
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �
7 
ticon lecture on " Religious Liberty " by Elder 
D. J. C. Barrett of Toronto. How impressive 
was the hymn sung from the screen, " Let the 
Lower Lights Be Burning! " Elder Barrett 
showed us how man throughout the ages has 
been forced to undergo the severest trials for 
his faith. Religious persecution began with 
the death of Abel. Esther risked her own life 
to deliver her people. Daniel and the three 
Hebrews kept their allegiance to God under-
most trying circumstances. Christ gave his 
life that Truth might triumph. Stephen, Paul 
and the other disciples were persecuted be-
caused they chose to " obey God rather than 
men." Thousands suffered martyrdom at the 
stake in the arena during the Dark Ages. Even 
the leaders of the Reformation did not recog-
nize the principle of religious toleration. It 
is only within the last century that we have 
been privileged to worship God according to 
the dictates of conscience. And now that free-
dom of worship wrought in hardship and peril 
by our pioneer fathers is' about to be taken 
from us.' Sunday laws overshadow the goddess 
of Liberty like a storm cloud. 
Our souls were thrilled once more by song 
as Mrs. Loveless sang " The Holy City " while 
its beauties were portrayed before us. We are 
sure that the scenes presented on that quiet 
evening will long remain with us. 
A Fellowship Dinner 
On the evening of March 13 at 6: 30 o'clock 
a signal bell was rung to announce that the 
time had arrived to begin festivities. There-
upon the waiting guests filed into the dining 
room and were ushered to their respective 
places. While this was being done, lively music 
was being played by the College Orchestra. 
An air of festivity filled the room which was 
neatly and artistically decorated for the occa-
sion. 
• There were present at this Fellowship gath-
ering the officers and staff of the Canadian 
Watchman Press, the manager of the Western 
Branch and a host of the delegates' to the Pub-
lishing House Convention. Altogether there 
were 95 guests seated at the tables. Three 
well-loved songs of fellowship were sung dur-
ing the course of the evening, namely: " Blest 
be the Tie that Binds," " Auld Lang Syne," 
and " God be with You Till We Meet Again." 
The orchestra filled any lapses in conversation 
with well selected and doubly well rendered 
music. 
However the best part of the program was 
the time spent in hearing from some of the 
personages who were present. Mr. Rans, the 
toast-master introduced the various speakers, 
Elder McVagh, E. L. Richmond, and S. A. 
Ruskjer. Somehow a deeper feeling of Broth-
erhood was kindled by the uniting of the re-
presentatives of the Canadian Watchman 
Press from all parts of the Dominion. A new 
interest in the work of the organization will 
doubtless be manifested' in the future. 
The occasion of the Fellowship Dinner, the 
first ever given by the Canadian Watchman 
Press, was a marked success. Those partici-
pating in the splendid entertainment left with 
greater interest in the work because of the 
new friendships formed and a new vision of 
the work as brought to their attention that 
evening. 
Another Missionary Family 
The following clipping from the " Eastern 
Tidings," the official organ of the Southern 
Asia Division gives us a word of two of Oshawa 
Missionary College students. 
" Mr. and Mrs. F. T. Hartin, our new mis-
sionary family sent to do evangelistic work, 
arrived at Rangoon, December 15. Five days 
later they were settled down to earnest study 
of the Burmese language. The workers through-
out Burma are greatly cheered with this new 
addition to our working force and all join in 
extending the warm hand of welcome." 
We wish them God's blessing in their new 
field, amongst a new people, learning a new 
language. 
" Do not look for wrong and evil; 
You will find them if you do ; 
As you measure to your neighbor 
He will measure back to you. 
" Look for goodness, look for gladness, 
You will find them all the while;

To the glass, you meet a smile."
