Cast Not Away Your Confidence* 
Special Dangers Threatening the Church 
BY PASTOR F. M. WILCOX 
TEXT : " Cast not away therefore your confidence, which 
hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, 
that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the 
promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will 
come, and will not tarry. Now 
the just shall live by faith : but if

The Coming Crisis 
back unto perdition ; but of them 
that believe to the saving of the 
soul." Heb. 10 : 35-39. 
Jesus is soon coming to 
take His children home. 
This has been the hope of 
His Church through all the 
ages of the past. This is 
the hope of His Church 
today. His coming is the 
climax of all their desires 
and aspirations. Learning 
to love Him here, while 
absent from Him, they will 
love personal association 
with Him who has proved 
in every one of life's experi-
ences a true and tried friend. 
I have been a Seventh-
day Adventist for forty-five 
years. Where I saw one 4 
sign forty-five years ago g<.D. �
 
that the coming of the Lord 
was near, I can see one hundred signs at the present 
time. The indications are increasing on every hand. 
It is intensely interesting, as well as inspiring, to con-
sider in this connection that some of the most signifi-
cant signs of all history have occurred during the 
last decade. 
Significant Events of the Last Decade 
ants of this world. I refer to the great famine in 
Russia three years ago. 
During the last ten years the greatest pestilence that 
ever swept over this earth was seen in the terrible 
influenza plague which carried to untimely graves more 
than twelve millions of people. 
During the last decade there has occurred the great-
est war in all history, a war 
which thousands at the time 
verily believed presaged the 
end of all things, and which 
was surely a striking sign of 
the day of God. 
The last ten years have 
witnessed the greatest earth-
quake in the history of the 
human family. I refer to 
the so-called Japanese earth-
quake, in which there was 
probably the greatest de-
struction of both life and 
property of all the earth-
quakes of history. 
Surely, as we consider 
t h e s e great phenomena, 
which are only representa-
tive of the many indications 
showing the coming of the 
Lord to be near, we can say 
in the words of the apostle, 
—Whittier. 
�
We have not followed 
cunningly devised fable s, 
when we made known unto 
you the power and coming 
of our Lord Jesus Christ." Our faith in Christ's soon 
coming is not based upon a false philosophy or a 
delusive hope. Every passing year reveals more fully 
the certainty. We may look with full assurance to the 
realisation of that hope in the near future. 
THE crisis presses on us; face to face with us it 
stands, 
With solemn lips of question, like the sphinx in 
Egypt's sands ! 
This day we fashion destiny, our web of fate we 
spin ; 
This day for all hereafter choose we holiness or 
sin ; 
Even now from starry Gerizim, or Ebal's cloudy 
crown, 
We call the dews of blessing or the bolts of 
cursing down. 
By all for which the martyrs bore their agony and 
shame ; 
By all the warning words of truth with which the 
prophets came ; 
By the futu're which awaits us; by all the hopes 
which cast 
Their faint and trembling beams across the black-
ness of the past ; 
And by the blessed thought of Him who for 
earth's freedom died, 
0 my people ! 0 my brothers let us choose the 
righteous side.

They may he stirred for a little 
moment, but the impression is soon 
lost, and they return to their care-
less ways, intent upon the achieve-
ment of some purpose for good or ill, 
some human ambition. There is 
great danger that this spirit of the 
world will have its effect and influ-
ence upon the members of the 
Church of Christ,—upon those who 
professedly believe the corning of the 
Lord to be near. Indeed, it is pain-
ful to see some in the Church yield-
ing to these influences. The stupor 
of death seems to be upon them. 
Their eyes are holden, that they 
cannot discern the workings of God's 
providence in the world, and the 
strange and marvellous work which 
He is doing among the nations of 
men. The signs of Christ's coming 
have become so multitudinous that 
they appeal to them as commonplace 
happenings. 
This is the hour of temptation, 
which was to come upon all the 
world to try them that dwell upon 
the earth. It is the hour of special 
test, of trying temptations, of subtle 
influences; and one of, the saddest 
pictures which we see in connection 
with this movement is some who 
profess faith in it yielding to these 
evil influences. �
If asked if they 
believe in the coming of the Lord, 
their answer would be strongly in 
the affirmative, but it must be ad-
mitted that in their hearts some are 
saying, as Christ declared they 
would say; " My Lord delayeth His 
coming." They are eating and 
drinking with the drunken. They 
are finding fellowship with the 
world, and this, rather than the 
formal profession, betokens the ob-
ject of their affections. 
Subtle Influences at Work 
I feel that I can do no better on 
this occasion than to point out some 
of the dangers which confront us as 
a people at the present time—some 
of the special dangers which con-
front us at the headquarters of our 
work. I know that they do not 
threaten the Christian experience of 
many, but I know also that they do 
threaten the Christian experience of 
some, and may I make an appeal to 
each one of you to put the question 
to your own heart, Are these influ-
ences affecting my own life ? Is the 
hope of the Lord's coming in my ex-
perience growing dim ? 
The apostle exhorts us not to cast 
away our confidence, not to lose 
faith in the hope we have cherished 
through the years ; for that hope 
will sometime meet a blessed fru-
ition, because " He that shall come 
will come, and will not tarry." He 
tells us that in this time of waiting 
" the just shall live by faith." We 
can build up our faith in God and in 
His Word, or we can permit our 
faith to be weakened. 
The text suggests that some would 
reach that place of uncertainty in 
their experience where their faith 
would hang upon such a slender 
thread that they would be tempted 
to cast it away, to resolve that they 
would be done with the service of 
God forever, that they would forsake 
the blessed hope of the Lord's soon 
coming, and join affinity with the 
world. Some, we fear, are in this 
condition at t h e present time. 
Some are balancing in their minds 
today whether they will sacrifice 
their all for this movement, and go 
through in triumph with the people 
of God, or whether they will turn 
from the straight and narrow path 
and seek the pleasures of the broad 
way. If there be one here who is 
balancing this question in his mind, 
may God stabilise his faith, and 
lead him to take hold of the 
promises of the Word with new 
confidence. 
Let us consider some of the dan-
gers of which I have spoken, some 
of the influences by which Satan is 
seeking to weaken our faith and lead 
us to waver in our allegiance to 
Christ :- 
1. Creature Comforts 
Against this danger we are ad-
monished by our Lord : " Take heed 
to yourselves, lest at any time your 
hearts be overcharged with surfeit-
ing, and drunkenness, . . . and so 
that day come upon you unawares." 
Luke 21 : 34. This is an age of 
luxury. We are living at the present 
time like the princes of old. The 
luxuries of yesterday have become 
the necessities of today. We have 
our comfortable homes, our pleasant 
social life, our motor cars, and the 
many conveniences of modern life. 
It is right for every man to have a 
home ; God does not deny us this 
place of refuge ; but let us be careful 
that in the very creature comforts of 
our home God is not forgotten, that 
in the abundance we have to eat and 
drink, in the clothes we have to 
wear, in the comfortable beds in 
which we repose, and all other con-
veniences which make life pleasant, 
we are not led to say, " The lines 
are fallen unto me in pleasant 
places ; yea, I have a goodly herit-
age," and God is forgotten and His 
service made secondary. 
With some there is a marked dis-
regard of the light on health reform, 
and the spirit of indulgence is tend-
ing to deaden the sensibilities. God 
will hold us responsible for this 
light. Only as we observe the 
principles of healthful living can we 
expect to claim by faith the protec-
tion of heaven in these days of 
special peril. 
This is not a subject to be treated 
lightly, as some are doing at the 
present time. It will not avail for 
us to turn aside the counsel of the 
Lord with a jest, nor to charge as 
fanatics those who are consci-
entiously inclined to follow the 
principles of life and health. It is 
for us to give earnest study to these 
principles ourselves, and apply them 
in our own lives and in our families 
as God shall give us wisdom. 
2. The Cares of Life 
The second danger of which I 
shall speak, namely, the cares of 
life, is closely allied to the first. 
The warning of our Saviour, which 
we have already quoted, makes 
direct reference to this danger. He 
says, " Take heed to yourselves, lest 
at any time your hearts be over-
charged with surfeiting, and drunken-
ness, and cares of this life, and so 
that day come upon you unawares." 
Luke 21 : 34. 
This appeal is to every believer, to 
every one within the hearing of my 
voice. It is to the brother who 
operates his farm, to the office-
worker, to the carpenter at his 
bench, to the busy housewife. Un-
less we are most careful, we shall 
permit the cares of this life to come 
in and take first place in our con-
sideration, and the riches of heaven 
will sink to second place in our 
scale of values. 
Some in the church are doing this 
at the present time. Family prayer 
is n e g l e c t e d. Indeed, in some 
Seventh-day Adventist homes the 
family altar has long since been 
broken down. Some neglect per-
sonal prayer, and go day after day 
without special personal communion 
with the Heavenly Father. 
I was told, some time ago, by one 
of our workers labouring in a distant 
conference, that he visited one church 
of thirty-five families, and in not a 
single home was family worship 
regularly carried forward. I am 
27/10/24
1 ,..,aAte—ATISTRTNLASIAN RECORD 
glad to say that God blessed his 
ministry to this church. The spirit 
of revival took hold of the hearts of 
His children, and before he closed 
his meetings the family altar had 
been restored in every home. If 
there is one family here where the 
altar has been broken down, I pray 
that God will give you strength and 
grace to go from this meeting firmly 
resolved that every day you will gather 
your children around the family 
hearthstone, and unitedly seek God 
for His protection and guidance. 
If we are not watchful, the cares 
of life will crowd out the time we 
should give to the study of God's 
Word. Satan has stolen a march 
upon many. He has led them to 
believe that they must devote time 
to the magazine and the daily news-
paper, in order to keep abreast of 
current thought, but they have no 
time for the study of the Book of 
all books. Sad indeed it is to visit 
some Seventh-day Adventist homes, 
and find the storybook and the 
magazine in daily use by various 
members of the family, while the 
Word of God and our own denomin-
ational papers are neglected. 
In the experience of some the 
cares of life are leading to a disre-
gard of the Sabbath of the Lord. 
We do not see many Seventh-day 
Adventists with the same sacred re-
gard for the Sabbath institution we 
saw years ago. Personally I have 
seen many times some of our breth-
ren and sisters returning home from 
their work after the Sabbath had 
begun, or coming from the market 
with their arms filled with bundles, 
or going forth to some business en-
gagement before the Sabbath closed 
Saturday evening. How can we ex-
pect the blessing of God when we 
lightly regard His holy day ? How 
can we seek Him with undimmed 
faith when we are conscious of this 
violation of the right in our ex-
perience ? There are some in the 
church who need proclaimed to them 
a Sabbath reform. If there be 
one here w h o has been yielding 
to these subtle influences, I pray 
that God may enable him to see his 
danger, that he may recover himself 
from the snare of the fowler who is 
seeking to entrap his soul.

MANY are on the verge of the kingdom, 
waiting only to be gathered in.—"Acts of 
the Apostles," page 109. 
Our Training School in the 
Solomons 
THERE are fifty-one young men in 
attendance at our Batuna Training 
School, Solomon Islands, and when 
the girls' department opens early 
next year the total enrolment will be 
considerably larger. Our readers will 
be interested in the following report 
from Brother A. R. Barrett, who is 
in charge of the school. 
We are on a full programme now : work 
in the morning, and school in the after-
noon. Things are moving along satisfac-
torily, and there is a splendid spirit 
existing amongst the boys. It just seems 
like a miniature gathering together of 
different tribes,and tongues, a sort of type 
of the great gathering to come. 
We have some very dependable boys 
here, as the following incident will show. 
A week ago we had a very rough, stormy 
day, and around at the anchorage the 
launch and cutter were tied up. It 
never occurred to me that there was 
a possibility of danger in such an 
apparently safe place, but at evening 
worship time I missed several boys. 
I thought they had considered the 
weather too bad to venture out. Half an 
hour later seven boys came along to my 
house and explained that they had been 
down making the boats fast, hence their 
absence from evening worship. As some-
times young people are not naturally 
careful of property, I admired their 
thoughtfulness and care for these boats of 
the mission. 
We have completed the track to Motusu, 
and for some time have been making a 
jetty at the foot of the hill leading up to 
Brother Wicks' house. We are making it 
rather substantial, as the boys think it 
would be possible to berth the Melanesia 
there in good weather. 
Our garden is doing splendidly. It is 
providing sufficient food for the present, 
and the prospects for some time are good. 
For this we are truly grateful. The 
cocoanut trees, though few, have yielded 
well, and we have planted and expect to 
plant more. The orange trees are grow-
ing strongly. 
Our Week of Prayer went along very 
nicely. We sent four boys to help Brother 
Gray at Gatukai, as he was short-handed. 
Our weekly prayer meetings are seasons 
of blessings, too. We make it a prayer 
meeting pure and simple ; no sermonettes, 
but a meeting in which every one freely 
takes part. 
For some time Mrs. Barrett has been 
tending a child of Tekulu who has been 
very severely burnt. Its legs and arms and 
body were fearfully injured ; had it been a 
white child I think it must have died, but, 
thanks to the goodness of God, it is making 
a good recovery, and will soon be quite 
well again. We would be glad if any of 
the good folk at home could send us some 
of their old linen. We need a lot, because 
we are always bandaging somebody up. 
Two of our boys have gone out to take 
charge of schools. Didere has gone to 
take the new school opened at Bichi, and 
Puchi has gone to Buni to relieve the 
young man who is to accompany Brother 
and Sister Anderson to Malaita. Other 
calls have come also, that make me think 
that we shall soon be losing some more of 
our boys from the school. The general 
spirit prevailing is to get out and push the 
work along, and while they all seem very 
happy here, they are quite willing to go 
and take their place as teachers. 
The work of our printing press is going 
along nicely. The boys are very inter-
ested in it, and are able to attend to most 
of the work themselves. Up to the 
present I have had very little to do 
except proof-reading. 
Just now we expect you are very 
busy in the council. The boys all pray 
very earnestly for you all, and for 
the new worker to be sent out. They 
are intensely interested in the new field 
we are opening,—Bouganville ; we are 
all very thankful that the Lord opened 
the way for His work there, and on the 
island of Malaita. We are all well and 
happy here. 
Among the Mormons 
THE State of Utah, U.S.A., with a 
population of about half a million, is 
largely settled by Mormons, a people 
fascinated by a weird religion having 
some semblances of Christianity, but 
composed of rituals and ceremonies and 
so called " authority " more impenetrable 
than that of Roman Catholicism. It is a 
most difficult field. While the people 
are exceptionally kind and hospitable, for 
that is an essential part of the Mormon 
religion, yet it requires great patience 
and perseverance on the part of the 
workers to meet their delusive arguments, 
and rescue souls from the snares in which 
Satan has so cunningly entrapped them. 
Notwithstanding the hardness of the 
field, honest souls are being garnered, not 
by wholesale, but as precious hand-
picked fruit, and the two hundred 
believers, like the converts in other lands, 
immediately become faithful missionaries 
themselves in the distribution of literature, 
their average sales per member for the 
first three months of 1924 being £2 14s. 
The regular colporteur sells nine shill-
ings' worth for every hour he is in the 
field. 
A surrendered life and an experimental 
knowledge of Jesus as a personal Saviour 
are requisites of success in Utah, and we 
praise God that Pastor Neilsen and his 
workers distributed among half a million 
darkened souls have this experience, and 
are coping heroically with their daily 
problems.—Pacific Union Recorder.

Modern Developments in 
Education.—No. 1 
"KNOWLEDGE shall be increased" is no 
longer a prediction. Any student of cur-
rent educational practice knows it to be 
a vivid reality. The prophecy has been 
fulfilled not only in regard to the facts 
discovered, but also in the manner of 
presenting them in the development of 
students. 
Of late years we have seen some very 
definite changes in curricula, organisation, 
and methods of instruction. The immo-
bility and rigidity which once character-
ised " good " discipline has given place to 
a spirit of purposive activity. Our class 
system in which pupils are grouped and 
expected to attain to some mystic " class 
average " is being vigorously assailed. 
Attention now turns to the education of 
the individual, rather than to that of the 
group as a unit. Of course, thoughtful 
teachers have always paid attention to 
some individual pupils—especially the 
weaker ones—but now individualism is 
being put before us as an important de-
terminant in school organisation. 
Educationalists in England, Italy, 
America, and other countries have studied, 
experimented, and published to the world 
much that is worthy of careful investiga-
tion. New methods are being evolved 
continually and the purpose of this and 
successive articles will be to epitomise 
some of these. 
It might be well to note that as teachers 
we can be broadly divided into three 
classes. One group looks askance at, and 
turns a deaf ear to any new suggestion. 
These constitute the ultra-conservative 
element, which by its apathy and indiffer-
ence often retards the wheels of progress. 
The second class quickly convinces it-
self that it has found the panacea for the 
ills of scholastic mankind, and straightway 
adopts it. Sometimes these teachers meet 
with success, sometimes they discard the 
plan when the novelty wears off. 
The third division, consisting of the 
majority of teachers, are those who care-
fully consider the suggestions and adopt 
that part which is of practical use to them 
in their particular circumstances. 
Above all things, it should be re-
membered that the personal equation is 
a vital factor in the successful working 
of any new plan. As one writer expresses 
it: "Professor Adams has pointed out, 
in the preface of a new book on the 
Howard Plan, that in many cases authors 
make wide claims for their schemes, and 
fail to appreciate how very much the 
personality of the author has helped the 
success of the experiment. It takes a Dr. 
Rouse to maintain a Perse School, a 
Caldwell Cook to make a success of 
"Littleman " Lectures and Plays, and 
a dynamic personality to infuse life into 
a Dalton or a Howard Plan." 
While such an obvious fact precludes 
the universal adoption of any particular 
scheme, yet there may be much that is 
useful and applicable to our schools. 
The purpose of the articles which will 
be published is not to advocate the adop-
tion of the plans,—it would be impossible 
to adopt them all,—but to give in as 
brief a way as possible the main features 
of the various methods and to indicate 
what books provide additional informa-
tion should any desire to pursue matters 
further. 
It is hoped that none will mistake these 
introductions for complete expositions. 
A. E. SPECK. 
The College Church's Endeav-
our to Raise 11197 for Foreign 
Missions 
A GREAT interest is being taken by the 
College Church in the raising of funds for 
foreign missions, and God has blessed the 
efforts put forth in this direction. 
Early in the school year the principal, 
Pastor Wood, suggested to the officers of 
the church that an earnest effort should 
be made to raise the full amount due from 
the church at the rate of 2s. sod. per week 
per member. This meant £1197 for the 
church for the year, as the membership 
stood at 162. After careful counsel the 
officers finally brought before the church a 
proposal to endeavour to raise the full 
amount called for, suggesting the propor-
tion to be contributed through the various 
offerings. 
Distributing of the Aim 
It was suggested that one-fourth of the 
total aim be collected in the Appeal for 
Missions campaign, that almost one-half 
be given through the Sabbath school, and 
the remaining one-fourth through the 
other foreign mission offerings. 
The Church Accepts 
It would have cheered any lover of the 
message to see how this programme was 
received when it was brought before the 
church. The proposal met with hearty 
and enthusiastic approval. The member-
ship consists almost entirely of students 
and members of the College faculty. 
The students had not been informed 
beforehand; but they took the lead in 
earnestly supporting the plans suggested. 
The Results 
When that meeting was held, the first 
quarter of the calendar year was already 
past. We have now passed the third 
quarter. It will interest readers of the 
RECORD to know how the church has 
succeeded thus far in raising the amount 
required. The following statement will 
show the aim set for the various funds for 
the year, and the amount thus far received.

Balance to Raise 
It will be seen from this statement that 
only £116 5s. 6d. remains to be raised 
during the fourth quarter to reach the 
total aim for the year. It is evident that 
the end of the year will see a considerable 
overflow. 
Methods Followed 
This has been accomplished with hearty 
goodwill. Pressing appeals have not been 
needed. In the meeting at which it was 
agreed to work unitedly to the pro-
gramme referred to above, the members 
present were asked to write on slips of 
paper their individual weekly aim for the 
Sabbath school offering. These personal 
aims were not regarded as pledges. The 
members did not even write their names 
on the slips; but simply the amounts they 
hoped to give in the Sabbath school 
weekly, and the class to which they be-
longed. This automatically set the aim 
for the classes and for the Sabbath school 
as a whole. When the slips were col-
lected it was found that the weekly aim 
thus voluntarily set was about £II sOs. 
The big advance this indicated may be 
seen from the fact that during 1923 this 
Sabbath school had given £267 13s. 7d., an 
average of a little less than £5 3s. weekly. 
The school was not over-sanguine in 
setting the new aim, but the offerings 
for the second quarter of 1924 averaged 
£12 9s. 3d. a week, and the weekly average 
for the third quarter was £14 7s. 4d. 
These averages, of course, include the 
thirteenth Sabbath offerings ; but the 
ordinary weekly offering during these two 
quarters has ranged from £9 4s. 4d. to 
£12 17s. 5d. 
Second Sabbath Offerings 
It was part of the plan that members 
should try to give once a month in the 
second Sabbath foreign missionary offer-
ing an amount equal to that given once a 
week in the Sabbath school. This aim 
has not been reached, however, the 
second Sabbath offerings for the second 
and third quarters having averaged £8 
ITS. 5%d. This is a great improvement, 
though, for the second Sabbath offering 
in March was only £2 2s. 7d. In any case 
the shortage on the monthly offering 
has been more than made up by the 
overflow in the Sabbath school. 
Not Unduly Stressed 
A visitor from another State told us 
recently that he had heard it reported that 
these large offerings had been secured 
as a result of much urging, and that some-
times a number of extra offerings were 
taken up on the Sabbath morning in order 
to reach the aim. This is quite a mis-
taken and misleading report. It so hap-
pened that the first Sabbath under the 
new programme for larger offerings fell 
on the second Sabbath in April. This 
meant that the aim set called for Ess sups. 
in the Sabbath school and a similar 
amount in the church service, a total of 
£23 in the two services. The second

offering fell short several pounds, and a 
successful effort was made in the meeting 
to bring it up to the desired amount. 
This has not been repeated, for it has not 
been necessary. For a few weeks the 
Sabbath school offering fell a little short, 
and the shortage was made up after the 
meeting by volunteers; but soon the 
church_ settled down to the new scale of 
giving, and there has been no need for 
either Sabbath school or church officers 
to make urgent appeals. 
Appeal for Missions 
The conference set an aim of £225 for 
the College Church in the Appeal for 
Missions campaign, which was £12 more 
than the amount collected in 1923. The 
church agreed to try to raise £400. The 
amount collected was £425, 
Week of Prayer Offering 
During the Week of Prayer very little 
indeed was said to induce large giving. It 
was known that an annual offering of 
it® was part of our programme for the 
year. At the afternoon praise service at 
the close of the week, Pastor Wood 
announced that the offering given in the 
morning had reached £91, and suggested 
that inasmuch as we had realised an over-
flow of £25 in the Appeal for Missions 
effort, it would not matter so much that 
we were somewhat short on the annual 
offering. But the believers, refreshed as 
they were and full of gratitude to the 
Master for the spiritual blessings of the 
week, would not accept the suggestion, 
and in a few moments funds were volun-
tarily subscribed bringing the total well 
over the one hundred pounds. 
Ground for Encouragement 
It will no doubt be an encouragement 
to our people throughout the field to 
know that such a spirit of unselfish giving 
prevails at the College. From among 
these students many will be called to 
the foreign work. It is well that here 
they should learn something of the self-
sacrifice by which the mission cause is 
sustained. 
This has been a time of spiritual bless-
ing. The raising of the mission funds 
has not been by any means the chief 
burden upon our minds; but it has been 
found to be a part of the deeper spiritual 
life into which the Lord is seeking to lead 
us, and into which there is an earnest 
desire on the part of both teachers and 
students to enter. 
The Church Membership 
Some might be interested to know how 
our actual attendance compares with the 
church membership of 162, on which the 
estimate of our aim is based. We 
found recently that we had on our church 
roll about 68 names of members that 
needed to be transferred to other churches 
in all the conferences of the Union. 
On the other hand, there were students 
in attendance whose names were not on 
the church roll, but many of whom have 
been added since. A fair estimate of 
our actual church membership may be 
gathered from the fact that the average 
Sabbath school membership for the third 
quarter was 172, and that this included 22 
in the primary division.

Our New Church at Papatoetoe 
IN reporting our progress for the 
quarter ending September 30, we thank our 
Lord and Master for the many blessings 
He has bestowed upon us. Our Sabbath 
school membership at present is 59, and we 
hope that by each doing his share of mis-
sionary work we shall make our member-
ship much larger. We have a missionary 
society, and each adult member taking 
part has so many houses to visit. 
Although we have been going only a few 
weeks, we have had some very pleasing 
conversations. One or two are now tak-
ing the Signs. Three others have sub- 
scribed to the Outlook for twelve months; 
so our effort has brought us good results. 
In regard to our Sabbath school aim, we 
are pleased to report that although at the 
time of writing there are yet two Sabbaths 
in the quarter, we have reached our goal, 
and are still going strong. We thank the 
Lord for His help and guidance. 
Our young people are doing real good 
work, and are taking great interest. Out 
of a membership of twenty-five, twenty-
four are taking part in the doctrinal texts 
examination. While the young people are 
having their meeting, the adult members 
meet together in the back room to study 
the "Testimonies," and needless to say we 
have greatly enjoyed the readings. We 
have purchased a set of the "Testimonies" 
for the use of those who have not these 
books at home. Once a month we have 
a combined meeting with the young peo-
ple, and some very pleasing programmes 
are arranged. 
We are sorry to state that Brother 
Olsen, who has been our elder, is leaving 
us. Brother Olsen has done some very 
good missionary work. We have some 
members in our church rejoicing in the 
message through his labours. We ask 
the Lord to be with him and his family in 
their new home, and that Brother Olsen 
will still win more souls for Christ. 
We ask RECORD readers to pray for 
our little company at Papatoetoe that we 
may have the full measure of the Holy 
Spirit in our church.

PASTOR Kent's mission at Sydenham 
is being well attended. Last Sunday 
night there were about 250 persons 
present. He expects soon to hold some 
mid-week meetings in the Baptist church 
which we recently purchased. 
From Dunedin we received word 
that Pastor Gillis has had the pleasure of 
seeing another new Sabbath-keeper take 
her stand. In some respects the work at 
Dunedin is hard, but we are thankful for 
the church that has been raised up there, 
and feel sure it will be strengthened under 
Pastor Gillis's labours. 
Pastor James Pascoe and Brother W. 
J. Richards, who are 
working on the West 
Coast, report that some 
of their readers are be-
ginning to make definite 
decisions. Some have 
fully decided, others are 
beginning to attend the 
Sabbath services, and 
three or four others are 
just in the balance. We 
quote from one of their 
most recent letters: 
"Although the work is 
going slowly in Grey-
mouth and we seem to 
be meeting opposition on 
every hand, yet ' the 
Lord's arm is not short-
ened that it cannot save.' 
Another lady with whom I have been 
studying has now taken her stand for the 
truth, and expresses an earnest desire to 
obey God in every respect. Her husband 
also is much impressed with the studies he 
has received, and I believe that before 
long the whole family will be rejoicing in 
the light of present truth. We have com-
menced work in Paroa, a small place 
about five miles from Greymouth. We 
hold meetings every Sunday evening in 
the school building. Theie are attended 
very well. I am already holding regular 
studies in several homes out there." 
Brother L. F. Were writes from 
Invercargill that they had some violently 
stormy weather last Sunday week ; never-
theless, there were about fifty present at 
his meeting. While some of these show 
no signs of making any change so far, but 
merely say they enjoy the lectures, 
Brethren Were and Engelbrecht are 
faithfully sowing the seed and " who can 
tell which will prosper, this or that ?" In 
a previous letter Brother Were told of a 
man who has begun to keep the Sabbath, 
thus making in all three new Sabbath-
keepers for the mission."

X-Ray Outfit for the Sanitarium 
DEAR READERS OF THE " RECORD,"— 
We are not able to grasp you by the 
hand and ask how you are, but this is an 
X-ray picture of a hand-shake which we 
would like you to imagine is ours while 
we talk to you about these wonderful 
rays. 
When one is suffering from an ache, a 
pain, or other disturbance which, because 
of its obstinacy, severity, or unusualness, 
has puzzled both doctor and patient, how 
many times have we heard them say, " I 
would give anything to have a peep 
inside and see what the trouble is." 
For many years this " peep inside " 
was possible only when the patient was 
under an anaesthetic and opened by the 
surgeon's knife. Within very recent 
years the X-ray method—painless, rapid, 
and effective—has been found, which has 
saved the necessity of many painful 
operations. 
X-rays, or Röntgen rays, were dis-
covered in 1895 by the German physicist, 
Professor Röntgen. They are produced 
by the passage of an electric discharge 
through a glass tube from which the air 
has been exhausted, and are capable of 
penetrating many so-called opaque sub-
stances such as wood, cloth, skin, muscle, 
etc. With these rays, it is possible to 
see through the human body, or even 
through the bones. Fortunately, there 
are some sufficiently dense substances 
such as lead, iron, bismuth, and barium 
salts, etc., that are opaque to these 
powerful, penetrating rays, thus enabling 
us to make use of them without injurious 
results. 
Today these rays can be so effectively 
produced and controlled that they have 
become indispensable to the proper 
diagnosis and treatment of a great num-
ber of conditions. For the locating of 
the broken needle in the hand or foot, or 
the button or coin the baby swallowed ; 
to determine the nature of and the proper 
setting of the broken bone ; to find the 
abscess or abnormality of the stomach or 
intestines; to detect abnormalities of the 
lungs and heart; for the treatment of 
many skin diseases, etc.,—for these and 
many other purposes the X-rays are now 
used. 
Patients in the Sanitarium who need 
this service have to go to Sydney for it, 
much to their inconvenience and to ours. 
A source of income of from one to five 
guineas a visit is thus lost to the Sani-
tarium. 
Now don't you think the Sanitarium 
ought to have such an outfit The Sani-
tarium management and staff have long 
thought so, but were unable to procure 
the money necessary for the purchase of 
this expensive apparatus. 
Here is a picture of the outfit which 
we ought to have to do the kind of work 
required, and its cost is approximately 
£1,500. One friend in America wants us 
to go ahead and sends her draft for 
$1,000 (E227). The Sanitarium staff says, 
" Go ahead," and adds its subscription of 
£150. 
The Union Conference Committee feels 
that you would all like the opportunity of 
helping to make your medical missionary 
centre more efficient in its work for the 
suffering, and so have decided to open the 
columns of the RECORD for a brief 
appeal. 
The Sanitarium will be pleased to give 
to anyone who sends in a subscription of 
five guineas or more, a free X-ray exam-
ination ; or the donor may nominate 
another in his place to receive such an 
examination.

Christian Help Work in Sydney 
DURING the past quarter ending Sep-
tember 3o, our workers have been encour-
aged by the way in which the church 
members have shown their practical 
sympathy with the poor. Over £39 has 
been received in cash and about £33 
expended in groceries and given to those 
in need. Most of the remainder has been 
spent since the close of the quarter to 
provide supplies during the progress of 
the camp-meeting. 
During the quarter, 240 garments were 
given away at our depot; and an average 
of twenty-three families weekly received 
assistance. Several who were receiving 
help have left our list because of the bread-
winners obtaining work; but a number of 
others in distress have come in their 
places. Some of these people manifest an 
interest in the blessed Word of God ; and 
we ask the prayers of God's people that 
they may be led to the Saviour and the 
truth. 
After being laid aside about five 
months, it was with pleasure that I again 
took up the work of caring for a few of 
these needy ones in our great city. The 
workers who faithfully carried on the 
Sunday school and relief work will doubt-
less receive from our Heavenly Father 
their reward. The church at Woolahra 
has given assistance ever since my 
enforced retirement from the work ; also 
the Avondale church and the Drummoyne 
church have come to our assistance. 
Near the close of the quarter a good 
brother who gave for our assistance 
through last camp season again provided 
us with funds to help us through this 
camp in supplying food to the needy. 
The café workers have also given 
timely help. 
We would ask the church members to 
pray that the Lord will open the way for 
us to commence Sabbath meetings in 
Alexandria or Waterloo, and give us. 
souls as the result. A number of the 
people are receiving the Signs weekly, 
and know something of the message. 
Brethren, pray for us and tht m.

The Divine Radio 
"GOD is the great Broadcaster, and 
heaven is the supreme radio station. How 
about your adjustment ? Is your instru-
ment attuned so that the wave-lengths 
harmonise and your receiving is as clear 
as the sending is perfect ? 
"The sending is so forceful that, no 
matter where you are, you catch briefer 
or longer snatches of what He says; but 
there are certain places where the things 
He sends out are most clearly and satis-
factorily heard. 
"The aerials above the church, the 
house He has set apart and sanctified and 
equipped for the very purpose of the 
flawless hearing of His messages, are 
especially well attuned and effective. Also 
the amplifiers used in regular dedicated 
places of worship are the best that can 
be devised by the very hand of the Deity 
Himself. 
"So, while you may catch scattered bits 
of what He wants you to be told, if you 
wander about here and there on Sabbath, 
and at other times set apart for worship, 
you can get a much more satisfactory and 
complete transcript of His instructions 
and assurances and comfortings and ad-
monitions if you go where everything is 
fixed and ready for that one purpose only." 
Let us all remember that the Sabbath 
school is the receiving station where 
messages from the divine radio are re-
ceived by every listening ear.

Fruit from Our Foreign Mission 
Field in Australia 
A VERY interesting and impressive scene 
was witnessed on August 24 last, when 
six coloured people of the Kanaka race 
followed their Lord in the sacred rite of 
baptism. 
These earnest people have been won as 
a result of the Holy Spirit's power 
through the labours of Brother C. M. Lee 
in the Mackay (North Queensland) district. 
They are intelligent on all' points of our 
faith and are doing their best to let their 
light shine in their respective neighbour-
hoods. 
The picture shows the writer baptising 
a sister, and the five dark people in the 
foreground near the water's edge are 
candidates, with Sister Lee in attendance. 
In the background is a group of believ-
ers (with the exception of one or two 
visitors), both coloured and white, who 
help to form the company who are hold-
ing aloft the the torch of truth in the 
Mackay district. 
The baptism took place about one and 
a half miles from Mackay township in a 
creek that is really an inflow from the 
Pacific Ocean, the vast expanse of which 
lies at the back of the picture. 
We feel sure that angels were present 
upon this solemn occasion, and as each 
candidate stepped from the watery grave, 
leaving behind the old man of sin, the ear 
of faith could hear the words that greeted 
the Son of God over 1900 years ago, "This 
is My beloved Son in whom I am well 
pleased." 
The closing prayer invoked the opening 
of the heavens to these dear souls that the 
same dove-like Spirit that rested upon 
our Saviour at His baptism may also be 
their guide until time shall end.

The Best Books He Ever Read 
IT is good to see the active missionary 
work of some of our isolated Sabbath-
keepers. The following report was 
passed on to us by Brother Hansford, the 
Home Missions secretary for Victoria-
Tasmania :— 
"I lent our book, "Earth's Last Gen-
eration," by Pastor Hare, to a gentleman 
at Dandenong. He had it for five months 
and thoroughly enjoyed it. He read and 
re-read it many times. He told me that 
the three books I have lent him, "In 
Touch with God," " The Hand that Inter-
venes," and " Earth's Last Generation," 
are absolutely the best books he has ever 
read. Now I am going to lend " The 
Desire of Ages." I have just received 
the last-named book back from a gentle- 
man, late of Mordialloc, who enjoyed the 
reading very much. This quarter I have 
given out five dozen Signs besides those 
that are posted away. We never know 
how the Spirit of God will use these silent 
messengers for the good of souls, and we 
shall never know, till the records are 
made up, the good they have done." 
NOT one sincere prayer is lost. Amid 
the anthems of the celestial choir, God 
hears the cries of the weakest human be-
ing.—" Christ's Object Lessons," page 174.

NEXT week we expect to publish a re_ 
port of the good camp-meeting and con-
ference held in South New South Wales. 
THE Missions number of the Review and 
Herald has come to hand. This consists 
of sixty-four pages brimful of intensely in-
teresting matter relative to the rise and 
progress of the third angel's message. 
PASTOR E. B. Rudge recently left for 
Fiji, in harmony with a recommendation of 
the Union Conference Committee already 
published. After making some prelimin-
ary arrangements for the Indian work in 
Fiji, he in company with Pastor A. G. 
Stewart will visit Tonga and Samoa. 
OF the arrival of their daughter in the 
New Hebrides, Pastor Parker wrote : 
Ramona's coming has lifted a big weight 
from Mrs. Parker's shoulders, and it will 
release me shortly from school work, so 
that I can be out among the people a great 
deal of my time. The Lord gave her a 
pleasant trip here, and every one from 
the captain down was kindness itself to 
her." 
SINCE our College of Medical Evangel-
ists established an out-patient department 
in the city of Los Angeles in 1917, this de-
partment has grown rapidly, until now 
it is one of the largest in the western 
part of the United States. Daring the year 
ending June 30, there were 74,268 patient 
visits. Forty-seven nationalities were 
represented among those treated. The 
work is divided into twenty-five clinics, 
the more important of which meet every 
week day. The social workers wrote over 
fifteen hundred letters, arranged for nearly 
six thousand free admissions, and made 
14,474 visits to homes. 
SPEAKING of the improvements at our 
mission station in New Guinea, in his re-
port to the council Brother Lock wrote : 
" This year Brother Peacock has planted 
approximately 6,000 pineapples. This 
will prove very helpful to the mission in 
the way of food, and as there is a good 
market for a limited number in Port 
Moresby and district, we are looking for-
ward to helping the work in a monetary 
way. In addition to this, we have an 
orange grove of six dozen trees, and some 
figs. Realising the need of good native 
gardens, Brother Peacock has had a large 
area of bananas and other native foods 
planted. Six native houses have been 
erected and a girls' house is in course of 
erection. This has taken some time, as 
the timber had to be prepared by our own 
saw-pit." 
From One of India's Sons 
" OH, how we are wishing for a person 
to come to work for the Indians in Fiji !" 
A letter has been received from a 
member of our only Indian Sabbath 
school in Fiji. In it little Stanley Chowla 
expresses a wish that, unknown to him 
and others in Fiji, was even then in the 
providence of God meeting its fulfilment. 
We quote from Stanley's letter :— 
" I received your interesting letter, and 
I was glad to hear of Pastor Piper's 
safe return. At present it must be council 
time in Australia. I suppose Pastor Stew--
art is attending the meetings. Oh, how 
we are wishing for a person to come to 
work for the Indians! We will be very 
glad to receive the AUSTRALASIAN REC-
ORD which will be full of the council 
meetings. I pray that God may bless you 
in your work, and that many will be lead 
to the Saviour through your interesting 
paper. I remain, Yours respectfully, 
Stanley." 
No doubt many will rejoice to know 
that definite steps were taken at the coun-
cil to begin aggressive soul-winning work 
for the large Indian population in the Fiji 
Islands. 
The writer of this letter is the little 
Indian boy who spent some months in 
Australia with Sister E. Meyers. Early 
in his childhood, the Spirit of God spoke 
to Stanley's heart. When five or six 
years old he was missed for some time 
from play one day. While the other 
children were happy with their games, he 
was discovered sitting quietly under the 
house, his head in his hands, looking very 
thoughtful. When questioned, he ex-
plained that he must give the truth to his 
people, the Indians, and therefore he was 
busy thinking out what he would say to 
them. 
God has many other little Indian boys 
in Fiji who will respond to the love of 
Jesus when it is presented to them. Let 
us pray for Sister Meyers in her labours 
for this needy race, and now for Pastor 
E.B. Rudge who will soon begin his work 
among them. 
The Present Truth Faith 
"RECENTLY one of our sisters was 
making the trip across the United States 
from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. 
In her railway carriage was a very charm-
ing, middle-aged woman with whom she 
frequently chatted on various topics. 
One day our sister thought she ought to 
introduce the subject of religion. She 
began by asking this lady to what faith 
she belonged. The prompt reply was, ' I 
belong to the Present Truth faith.' Our 
sister had never heard of any denomina-
tion by the name of 'Present Truth ;' so 
she asked the lady to tell her about it. 
' Well,' she said, `Present Truth believes 
in the soon coming of the Lord; that the 
seventh day is the Sabbath, and that man 
is mortal—that people do not go to their 
reward at death, as other denominations 
claim, until the day of judgment. Present 
Truth believes in temperance in the 
fullest sense, and wages war on tobacco 
as well as liquor.' Our sister asked, `Do 
you refer to the little paper called Present 
Truth? "Sure I do,' replied the lady. 
Our sister then explained that Present 
Truth was published by the Seventh-day 
Adventists, and that it represented her 
faith also. The lady said, I do not care 
who publishes it, its teachings are my 
belief, for they are in harmony with the 
teachings of the Bible.'" 
The above incident is similar to the 
experience of one of our Tamil colpor-
teurs in South India a few years ago, 
when I was labouring in that field. We 
were publishing a Tamil magazine which 
carried the name Present Truth. One of 
our Tamil boys was very persistent in his 
work of bringing this journal to the at-
tention of the people in a particular 
loCality. He became so well known that 
when he would be seen approaching, 
people would exclaim. " Here comes 
Present Truth." Not a bad name to 
carry. 
The record of the Saviour's life is: 
" The Word was made flesh, and dwelt 
among us, . . . full of grace and truth." 
There is nothing this world needs so 
much as to see this message lived out in 
the lives of those who profess it. We 
read in the Spirit of Prophecy regarding 
the gospel colporteur: "His strength, his 
courage, his success, will depend on how 
fully the truth presented in the books is 
woven into his own experience and 
developed in his character. When his 
own life is thus moulded, he can go for-
ward, representing to others the sacred 
truth he is handling." This is equally 
true of every believer in this great, 
solemn, warning message. " The world 
is watching Seventh-day Adventists, be-
cause it knows something of their pro-
fession of faith, and of their high standard, 
and when it sees those who do not live up 
to their profession, it points to them with 
scorn." 
" The truth for this time is to appear in 
its power in the lives of those who believe 
it ;" for "the world will believe not what 
the minister preaches, but what the 
church lives." 
Yes, what the world needs is "Present 
Truth " made flesh, the message lived out 
in your life and mine.
