TWO SPECIAL MATTERS 
WISH to call the attention of 
our brethren and sisters to 
two very important matters 
considered in this issue of the 
RE PORTER. 
First, I wish to call special atten-
tion to Elder Washburn's article 
which appears in this issue, in regard 
to the $150,000 Fund. We are 
glad indeed to see our brethren and 
sisters in. Indiana contributing so 
liberally to this fund, and I know 
that all will be glad that Indiana is 
still in the lead of all the Conferences 
in the United States; and it seems to 
me that �
will agree. with me 
that the Indiana Conferene ought to 
keep in tile lead, especially with the 
start that we now have. Indiana 
ought to stand at the head, as the 
venter of population in the United 
States, is in Indiana; and for other 
reasons, among which might be men-
tioned, we wore first to contribute to 
the work at Washington where $50-
000 of this money is to be spei.t in 
equipping our sanitarium. 
I wish to call the attention of our 
brethren and sisters to the fact that 
the first $50,000 that is raised of this 
sum, is to go to the Southern field, 
so that all the other appropriations 
must wait until the South has first 
had its $50,000. Then the remainder 
will be distritluted as it comes in, to 
to the different fields pro rata. The 
$2,000 that is to go to Valparaiso 
and the $4,000 to the West India Is-
lands should be forthcoming at once. 
They are greatly in need of there 
means, and especially now after the 
earthquakes that have visited both 
of these fields. Must these brethren 
wait and wait, for our brethren in 
this prosperous country, to con tribl 
ute the small sum of $3.00 each to 
make up this fund; or shall We arise 
and complete this work quickly, and 
place the money in their hands, that 
they may have it to use in this their 
grea4t time of need? It seems to me 
that it is not necessary to say any 
more, hut that all must see the neces-
sity of quickly raising this fund. 
The second matter of which [ wish 
to speak is the collection for Religious 
Liberty work, which is to be taken 
Sabbath, Feb. 2, in all of our churches. 
Those who are watching.the move-
ments on foot everywhere, not only 
in this country but throughout the 
world, in regard to a more strict 
Sunday observance, must see that 
we are right upon the eve of a time 
when our liberty will be greatly re-
stricted; and we should be doing all 
in our power to enlighten our leg-
islators in regard to the true princi-
ples of civil and religious liberty. It 
has been thought best by those in 
charge of the work here in Indiana 
that we make a special call to our 
brethren and sisters to be liberal in 
their donations to this fund, and 
then a portion of it will be retained 
for the Religious Liberty work in our 
home Conference. We believe that 
this is perfectly proper, to divide this 
donation between our general Relig-
ious Liberty work and our home 
work. For this reason our people 
should take a special interest and be 
as liberal as possible, considering all 
the other interests of the work. The 
work is rapidly moving forward in 
all lines, and we must step fast in or-
der to keep pace with the advancing 
march of the message. 
W. J. STONE 
THE DAY OF OUR VISITATION 
"IF thou hadst known, even thou, 
at least in this thy day, the things 
which belong unto thy peace; but 
now they are hid from thine eyes.' 
. . . . Because thou knewest not the 
time of thy visitation." Luke 19:44. 
Opportunities may be repeatedly 
given, but there comes a last chance, 
a last day, when on a thought, an 
act, a word, hangs our destiny for 
eternity. Not what we have done, 
always, but what we have not done, 
what we have left unaccomplished, 
decides our future for weal or woe. 
To-day is the day of our visitation. 
The Spirit of God is being withdrawn 
from the world. Earthquake, fire, 
and flood, social and national inten-
sity and perplexity, the decay of the 
old faith in God, corruption on every 
hand,—all declare that our last op-
portunity for labor has almost, if 
not quite, arrived, and we should 
step into the openings for labor, for 
giving, for using every means in our 
reach to push this work to quick 
completion. 
The time to step in is when the 
waters are troubled. In the matter 
for raising this $150,000, the time has 
come to raise the largest sum ever 
attempted in the briefest time ever 
known in the history of our work. 
Who stands back indifferently and 
carelessly at this • time will lose a 
blessing. A daily offering until the 
though the firing has begun along 
the picket line, and soon we will be 
in the midst of the fray. 
A Sunday bill is now pending in 
Congress. In Boston, Mass., there 
have recently been issued twelve hun-
dred summonses for the violation of 
the New England Sunday law. 
A big Sunday closing crusade is 
now on in Willimantic, Conn. A 
strong movement is being put forth 
in California to secure a change in 
their State constitution which will 
provide for a Sunday law in that 
State. 
Three of our people have recently 
been arrested in Spartansburg S. C., 
and were to have been tried Jan-
uary 10. 
A Barber's Sunday bill has been 
introduced into our own legislature 
by Senator Wood of La Fayette. 
This bill has an exemption clause for 
those who keep the seventh day. 
All of this shows that the conflict 
is on, and to meet it, will take, 
among other things, some means. 
The General Conference has set Sab-
bath, Feb. 2, as the time of the an-
nual collection for this department 
of the work. Notice, there is only 
one collection a year for this work. 
It is hoped that every elder and 
every Religious Liberty secretary 
will place the importance of this 
branch of the message in such a way 
before their respective churches that 
a good collection will result. We 
suggest taking up the donation just 
after the Religious Liberty •Studies 
for the day. 
I trust not a church will delay in 
sending to the writer the name and 
address of your Religious Liberty 
secretary. �

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE 
MUCH has been said in the past 
about our young people, and 
especially about young people's 
work. Sometimes this has meant 
holding societies in which a certain 
amount of literary work was done, 
with perhaps a small amount of 
active missionary work. 
When I think of our young people, 
I think of all the young people in our 
Conference, and particularly those 
who are interested in obtaining a 
training for the Master's work, It 
seems to me that the young people 
who are really in earnest in this 
time, will be either actively engaged 
in work, or actively engaged in 
training for the work. There might 
possibly be another class, anxious 
to be in training for the work. 
No minister or Bible worker can 
deny the fact that there is a great 
inspiration in bringing the light of 
this Truth to those who know it 
not, and see them accept it. There 
is no worker with our yoling people 
but that fully understands the real 
inspiration coming from their en-
thusiasm and zest in the work 
assigned them. 
As I look into the faces of fifty or 
sixty youth every morning they ap-
peal strongly to me, and I feel anew 
like throwing my whole energy into 
the work, and I know this inspira-
tion is reciprocated. Enthusiasm 
is contagious. "For with what 
measure ye meet, it shall be meas-
ured to you." , 
Are there not parents among the 
churches of the Indiana Conference 
who are responsible for the training 
of the youth among them? Does 
your heart burn for the progress of 
the message, and do you sometimes 
wonder if the youth for whom 
you are responsible will take their 
part in finishing the work left to us? 
I feel certain that the Lord has or-
dained our schools as training 
grounds for those who will bear the 
responsibility of finishing the work 
in this generation. While my heart 
rejoices that fifty or more of our 
youth have the privileges offered 
in our intermediate school, yet I 
know there are fifty or more who 
ought to be here getting a training 
for any active work. 
Brethren and sisters, is it not time 
that all of us begin earnestly to look 
about for opportunities to help 
those that need help, and encourage 
those who need encouragement? 
How I long for the time when 
every young man and young 
woman who has inclination to be 
trained for active work will have 
every advantage our school affords. 
Since the opening of the new year 
the work in Beechwood Academy is 
going nicely. Students are settling 
down to good hard work, and for 
the most part we have good cheer 
and good will. 
Pray for the success of our young 
people and our school, and may the 
Lord bless all parents throughout 
whole fund Is raised can be given by 
all our people. With many quite an 
amount daily could be laid aside for 
this work. With others a smaller 
sum, as God has prospered. 
This is not a matter to be acted 
upon with indifference. It means 
much to our work, but it means 
more to those who give. The test of 
loyalty to the work and to the mes-
sage affects not so much the work of 
the message,—for, if necessary, the 
very stones will cry out, and pro-
claim the truth.—but It means life or 
death to us; and the careless indiffer-
ence of the moment may be the point 
where we shall turn by degrees, and 
finally wholly from the ranks. We 
are in the final death-grip of the 
struggle of the ages. Who will be 
loyal and true now? 0 that all may 
know the day of our visitation! 
J. S. WASHBURN. 
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WORK 
To the faithful child of God there is 
nothing dearer than the Third An-
gel's Message. It is this message 
that has changed the whole current 
of his life. It has wrested him from 
the hosts of Satan and has planted 
him in the family of God. It has 
caused him to identify himself with 
the "little flock", to whom Jesus 
says "Fear not little flock; for it is 
your Father's good pleasure to give 
you the kingdom." But he realizes 
the kingdom will not be obtained 
without a struggle. For the Third 
Angel's Message is a warning mes-
sage. It warns against the worship 
of the "beast and his image," and 
the receiving of his mark "in the 
right hand, or in the forehead." 
But Revelation thirteen shows that 
the beast and his image are deter-
mined that they shall receive hom-
age from every individual in the 
world. That they will compel every 
soul to receive their mark "in the 
tight hand or in the forehead." In 
other words to compel every one by 
law to keep Sunday. 
The adherent to the Third Angel's 
Message knows, sooner or later, he 
will be brought in direct combat 
with the beast power, and if he 
-endures to the end," he will "pos-
sess the kingdom." 
We have often looked forward to 
the time when this conflict would 
come, be over, and the end here. As 
we glance over the field, it seems as

A LITTLE MISSIONARY CANVASSER 
FOR the encouragement of other 
little children who might wish to 
earn some money to donate to the 
mission fund, I think it will be prop-
er to state the success my little 
girl has had in her missionary effort. 
When I returned from our business 
conference held at Indianapolis, I 
presented my little girl with a copy 
of Gospel Primer, and said to her, 
"Now, dear, it you wish to earn 
some money to donate to the $150,-
000 missionary fund, and a little 
Christmas money for yourself, you 
may try your luck canvassing." She 
was anxious to do so at once, but 
being in school, waited until she 
could have two days vacation at 
Thanksgiving time. 
When the time came she went 
alone with her book and in seven 
hours time, took orders for 25 hooks. 
This occupied a part of the two 
days. On the last day she went out 
in a drizzling rain, and in two hours 
time she was at home again with 
seven new orders. 
Had walked 
on this round more than one mile, 
and visited fourteen homes. 
Now she has received the books. 
Did not loose one on the delivery—
which had to be made between 
school hours—and sends in order for 
two more books. 
The little girl is 10 years of age, 
and never tried to canvass for a 
book before. Now every one 
of these 27 books go into homes 
where there is not one Seventh-day 
Adventist, as we are isolated. 
Now she cheerfully sends with this 
letter $1.50 of her profits as a mis-
sionary offering, and requests it be 
used for South America. 
Parents, let's give the children a 
chance to earn some money for the 
Lord if we want them to feel they 
are a part of nis heritage, and can 
hear a part of the burden of saving 
perishing souls. What one child can 
do alone, surely others can do where 
they have a church, children's meet-
ings, church school, etc., through 
which to plan and systematize the 
work. If they may not canvass, there 
are many ways they can render ser-
vices and earn a little means. If 
work for the cause is the stimulus 
that holds our interest, and develops 
nerve, let's hind our children there 
before they drift away.

THE 1)07 RELIGIOUS LIBERTY COL-
LECTION SABBATH, FEBRUARY 2 
THE annual collection for the Re. 
ligious Liberty Department, appoint-
ed by the General Conference Com-
mittee, will be taken this year on 
Sabbath, February second. 
It will be remembered that this is 
the only general collection which is 
taken for the support of this impor-
tant line of work, and furthermore, 
the department has no other re-
sources by which to carry on its 
work. Hence it is necessary that 
this collection should be a liberal 
one. 
There has never been a time in the 
history of our work when the de-
mands were so great upon us to ex-
ert our very best efforts in laboring 
and sacrificing for the cause of re-
ligious liberty as now, for the enemy 
was never so active in seeking to 
deprive men of the exercise of the 
rights of conscience as now. 
Intelligence has just been received 
that twelve hundred persons had 
been summoned to court in the city 
of Boston for a violation of the New 
England Sunday law. A Sunday 
closing crusade is also on in Willi-
mantic, Conn., and in California a 
desperate effort is being put forth to 
secure a change in the State consti-
tution which will provide for a Sun-
day law in that State. So the bat-
tle is on in many places throughout 
the country. 
The latest news which shows a 
little of the fruitage of what this 
movement means is the arrest of 
three of our own people in Spartans-
burg, South Carolina. Their trial 
was appointed for January 10. 
It should not be forgotten that 
there is also a Sunday bill pending in 
Congress, the outcome of which no 
one can say. 
Shall we not willingly sacrifice of 
our substance in helping stay the re-
lentless and fearful oncoming tide of 
intolerance and persecution which 
will soon overtake us, by enlighten-
ing the honest ones? 
All collections should be sent 
through the regular channels. 
K. C. RUSSELL. 
LAFAYETTE 
Dear Reporter: 
I desire to report a few good things 
which we enjoyed at our last Sab-
bath meeting, Jan. 12. Elder Stone 
met with us and was given grace to 
dig up some precious truths which 
were new to some of ns. After refer-
ing to the absolute certainty of the 
success of the Third Angel's Message 
and stating the different interests of 
God's work to be blessed through 
the raising quickly of the One Hun-
dred and Fifty Thousand Dollar 
Fund, he referred to 2 Cor. 8:7 where 
the apostle exhorts us to abound in 
the "grace" of giving which grace 
is classed with all other graces of 
the Spirit, for the amount and mo-
tive by which we give is the sure 
proof of the "sincerity of our love" 
for this cause. 
Elder Stone dwelt on the fact that 
the very foundation of salvation was 
the most wonderful Gift in the pos-
session of the Creator of the universe. 
The Father gave all He had—His 
only Son. "God so loved . . . that 
He gave."—gave what? He gave all 
heaven in His Son. How could there 
be a greater personal sacrifice in 
making a gift? Elder Stone showed 
that liberality, even in "deep pov-
erty," is a Christian grace, and the 
encouraging fact was set forth that 
as all df God's commadments were 
enablings and promises so His re-
quirements for money for His cause 
were also enablings and that God's 
blessing would rest richly upon 
every one who would put his should-
er under this $ 150,000 Fund. God 
will help you to raise the money. If 
you go about it cheerfully and with 
faith it will surely be raised. 
Now for the fruits of the meeting, 
the Spirit of God and consecration 
was present in such power that in 
different parts of the house the 
brethren and sisters arose with tears 
in their eyes pledging not only to 
pay their quota, but promising to 
pay the poorer members. However 
one of the very first to pay their 
quota on this fund is a sister new in 
the truth, and in very straitened 
circumstances. 
Another white-haired sister who 
does not possess a cent which is not 
the result of the labor of her own 
hands. explained with much emotion 
that although she had paid an 
honest tithe and made offerings she

News and Notes 
 
 
WE wish to call special attention 
to the articles by Elders Russell and 
Miller, upon the subject of the Relig-
ious Liberty work, in this issue. of 
the paper. Read carefully what 
these brethren say, and then act ac-
cordingly. 
A FEW weeks ago, Elder Stone re-
ceived in an envelope, 12 cents in 
stamps. There was no writing and 
the mail mark could not be read. 
Will the sender please drop him a 
card telling what the stamps were 
for? 
WE are sure that all our loyal 
brethren and sisters will be glad to 
see the advancement that is being 
made in the raising of our portion of 
the $150,000. We publish again in 
this issue a list of the gifts, which we 
trust will be read with interest 
ELDER STONE visited the East Side 
Indianapolis church Sabbath morn-
ing, .January 19, and in the afternoon 
the West Side church. Both churches 
seemed to appreciate his visit, espec-
ially the West Side church as testi-
fied to by many in an after-meeting. 
"ENcLosED please find fifty cents for 
 
which renew my subscription to the 
REPORTER for two years. I do not 
want to miss a single issue. I could 
not do without the REPORTER if it 
cost $1.00 per year."—G. A. ROB-
ERTS, Phoenix, Arizona. 
A MISTAKE was made in reporting 
the tithe of the Salem church in the 
last issue of the REPORTER. The 
church was given credit for $2.78, 
while it should have been $42.78. We 
are sorry that these mistakes appear 
in the REPORTER, and are always 
glattto .c.o rrec t them , 
THE company at Seymour has or-
dered d club of 25 Signs. If your 
church is not already taking a club, 
kindly do your part toward organ-
izing one. No church is completely 
equipped for missionary work until 
it is weekly receiving a supply of 
Signs of the 
"ENCLOSED please find twenty-five 
cents for renewal of my subscription 
to the REPORTER. We esteem very 
highly its visits. May the good work 
go on in Indiana, and throughout 
the world, until the message shall 
triumph and the Savior return to 
take His people home, is our 
prayer."—R. B. CRAIG, Decatur, Ill. 
Oua last issue contained a Relig-
ious Liberty Program for the first 
Sabbath of February. As the Gen-
eral Conference has since prepared a 
program for that day (found in the 
Review of January 24, page 20), 
kindly postpone and keep the pro-
gram prepared by Elder Miller until 
the fourth Sabbath of February. 
WE have received a supply of the 
Year Book for 1907. Every church 
officer and Conference worker should 
have one. Price 25 cents post-paid. 
Among other things, it contains 
twenty-eight "Fundamental Princi-
ples of Seventh-flay Adventists". 
This feature of the Year Book alone 
is worth the price of the entire work. 
"THE liberal soul shall be made fat." 
Liberal— "Ready to impart gifts or 
aid; bestowing freely; open-handed; 
bountiful; munificent." Are you, by 
generous giving, taking on fat for the 
"dine to come," or failing in the pro-
vision necessary to be made now, 
will you, in abject leanness. starve to 
death in the time ofitrouble? Get on 
the safe side; stay there. Be liberal. 
THE circulation of the Signs of the 
Times has increased six thousand 
during the past few weeks. This is 
owing to the increased number that 
are being taken in clubs with which 
to do missionary work: There ought 
to be a rapid increase, until the 
Signs has three or four times its pres-
ent circulation which is twenty-
thousand weekly. Every church in 
Indiana should take a club to use in 
missionary work. 
As a result of Elder Rees's meet-
tinge at Middletown several of our 
young people, children of Sabbath-
keepers, fully decided to obey the 
Lord, and united with the chureh. 
These young people have grown to 
manhood and womanhood, and are 
married, and it is a great source of 
comfort to their parents to see them 
taking this step. A full report of 
Elder Rees's meetings will appear 
later in the REPORTER. 
DURING the year 1906 Indiana gave 
offerings to missions amounting to 
$2,410.59, This includes weekly, an-
nual, mid-summer, and Sabbath-
school offerings to missions. Adding

BROTHER E. A. KERN of Wolflake 
called at the office recently. 
Two recent additions to the New 
Hope church •were reported by Elder 
Anderson fast week. 
THE Marion church is planning on 
an aggressive missionary campaign 
with our good papers and tracts. 
A SERIES of meetings was begun 
last ‘s eek in the church at Denver, 
Elders Miller and Young in charge. 
THE total amount of tithes and 
offerings of all kinds received during 
1906 by the Conference Treasurer is 
$24,183.98. 
SOME of the churches have not yet 
reported their list of officers for 1907. 
Pleasesend the same at once to Elder 
W. A. Young, 901 Ashland Ave., Indi-
anapolis, Ind. 
OUR Missionary Secretary visited 
Jonesboro and Marion recently. 
These churches are expecting to use 
clubs of Signs ill missionary work. 
ELDER U. S. ANDERSON has recently 
visited the Marion. Michaels, Jones-
boro, and Elwood churches in the in-
terests of the $150,000 Fund. . These 
churches seem encouraged by the 
visit. 
IN the tabulated report of the $150-
000 Fund printed Jan. 16, the type-
setter made a mistake showing that 
the district assigned Elder Roberts 
had paid $512,32. This should have 
been $215.32. 
ELDER HAGLE reports several new 
converts to the faith in his meetings 
near Rochester; also that in meetings 
recently held at Wolfiake three per-
sons were, encouraged to press for-
ward in-the work there. 
THE "New Testament Primer", 
which made its first appearance just 
before the holidays, is an excellent 
book for children. It is beautifully 
illustrated in colors. Board binding, 
25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. 
SINCE the Pacific Press Publishing 
Company's fire last summer, a new 
edition of "Uncle Ben's Cobblestones" 
and "House We Live In" has been 
printed and the retail price raised to 
$1.00 each. 40% discount is given 
from this price to agents. 
NOTICE! 
Fon the last time we call attention 
to the canvassers' institute to be held 
at Wolflake Feb. 7-20. Should there 
be any change in the arrangements, 
those planning to attend will be no-
tified by letter.

"IN harmony with this experience

NEWS AND NOTES 
(Conthated from p. 4 of Reporter) 
to this the amount paid to the Mis-
sion Board from the tithe fund for 
J. F. Olmstead, $794.37, gives $3,204.-
96 paid by the Indiana Conference for 
the benefit of Missions during 1906. 
Can we not do even better than this 
during the current year? 
ENCLOSED please find 25 cents for 
the REPORTER. I am glad for the 
good reports it contains, and rejoice 
to know that I can be a "laborer to-
gether with God" in carving the last 
message to the world. Although I 
can do but little, I want-to be faith-
ful in the little things so that by and 
by I may be entrusted with greater 
things. 
Your sister in the work, 
DONNA PRIDDY. 
MARTIN GRIM has disposed of 
575 copies of the Watchman in Bra-
zil, Ind., and has sent us an order 
for forty-three "Christ's Object Les-
sons," so you see the Object Lesson 
work is not over, and why should it 
be? When there are hundreds of our 
neighbors and friends who have 
never read this most excellent book, 
why not dispose of those you have 
that belong to the Conference, and 
help us to dispose of what we have 
here in the office? 
GoD is remarkably blessing his 
people and work in what we umilly 
term foriegn fields. The Holy Spirit 
is actually being "ponivil out" in 
large measure as promised in the 
Word and Testimo.des. '1'hs is evi-
dence positive and certain that sin is 
being put away by the believers, and 
a oneness of soul and purpose is act-
ually taking place among them in 
answer to Christ's last recorded 
prayer. The Lord says he is no re-
spector of persons. 
ELDERS YOUNG and Miller are now 
engaged in a revival service at Den-
ver, Indiana. Meetings began Thurs- 
day night, January 24th. We trust 
that our brethren and sisters will 
remember these meetings in their 
prayers. It has been several years 
good p ea.sure.' -God does not bid 
you .fear that He will fail to futill 
His promises, that His patience will 
weary, or His compassion be found 
wanting."-Christ's Object Lessons.

since meetings were held there, and 
there has been quite an inquiry and 
a desire by the people of the village 
to hear in regard to present truth. 
ELDER STONE had an appointment 
with the Ligonier church last Sab-
bath and Sunday. by request of the 
president of the Ohio Conference, and 
the probability that Elder Moon 
would not be able to attend the Ohio 
Conference to be held January 28-31, 
Elder Stone expected to go from Lig-
onier to the Ohio Conference, it being 
but a short distance from Ligonier, 
being held in the northwestern part 
of Ohio. 
ELDER A. L. MILLER, our Religious 
Liberty Secretary, was called from 
Seymour to Indianapolis last week 
to appear before legislative commit-
tees having Sunday bills In charge. A 
bill to close barber shops on Sunday 
was passed by the Senate on the 18th 
instant and was referred to the Crim-
inal Code Committee of the House of 
Representatives. A bill to close the-
aters on Sunday was introduced in 
the House and referred to the com-
mittee on Rights and Privileges. 
The chairmen of these committees 
were very cordial in their in vatations 
to Brother Miller to appear before 
them when these bills were con-
sidered. 
IN the last issue of the RFPORTER 
there was a mistake made by the 
typesetter of $1.000 in the amount of 
tithe paid during the year 1906. In-
stead of the amount being $19,343.12 
it should have been $18.343.12. This 
shows a good gain over the year 1905, 
and is a gain of between four and 
five thousand dollars over what In-
diana was paying four years ago. 
This is another omen of confidence, 
and consecration upon the part of 
our people. Giving is the essence of 
the gospel. God gave His Son. Christ 
gave the riches of heaven; and Paul 
tells us that giving proves the sin-
cerity of our faith; and when God's 
people are willing and give liberally 
this proves t he sincerity of their faith. 
WE have too many large Bibles, 
and have reduced the price one-half

and $10.00. These prices are for cash

LAFAYETTE 
(Continued from p. 3 of Reporter) 
would not rest until $5.00 more were 
added to the $150,000 Fund as her 
individual donation. 
The associate elder, Brother Bar-
ton, said that our hearts would 
always follow our treasure, and the 
response to the calls for help is only 
a means of salvation, for where our 
treasure is there is our heart also. 
There have been some criticisms of 
of meetings devoted to the raising 
of money for God's cause, for it is al-
leged that such services are not 
spiritual. We beg to differ with all 
who hold this view, for our Sabbath 
meeting was most spiritual, and 
much love and good works were 
provoked by the appeals for money 
for God's suffering cause. 
We desire a few more of such meet-
ings though the cry be, "Money, 
money." �

NEW METHOD OF TEACHING READ. 
ING 
Tam Rational Method of Teaching 
Reading is being introduced in the 
most progressive schools of this 
country. It successfully combines 
the virtues and avoids the faults of 
the old methods. The new readers 
that were recommended by the Edu-
cational Convention held at College 
View last summer, and now being 
published by the Pectic Press Pub-
lishing Company, were prepared in 
the light of this method. 
Brother 0. J. Graf, Educational 
Secretaay of the Northern Union 
Conference, has perpared an outline 
of instruction on this method, 
which should be a great help to 
every teacher of reading. The out-
line comes in pamphlet form. Prices, 
postpaid: Single copy, five cents; 
twenty-five copies, $1.00; one hun-
dred copies, $3.50.

ment of the Northern Union Confer-
ence, Box 989, Minneapolis, Minn.
