WESLEY'S COUNSEL TO 
A PREACHER 
"Your talent in preaching does not 
increase. It is just the same as it was 
seven years ago. It is lively, but not 
deep. There is little variety; there is 
no compass of thought. Reading only 
can supply this, with daily meditation 
and daily prayer. You wrong yourself 
greatly by omitting this. You can nev-
er be a deep preacher without it, any 
more than a thorough Christian. Oh, 
begin! Fix some part of every day for 
private exercises. You may acquire the 
taste which you have not. What is te-
dious at first will afterwards be pleas-
ant. Whether you like it or not, read 
and pray daily. It is for your life! 
There is no other way; else you will be 
a trifler all your days, and a pretty su-
perficial preacher. Do justice to your 
own soul; give it time and means to 
grow; do not starve yourself any long-
er." 
This excellent advice is found on page 
210 of the book entitled "Wesley and 
His Century," which is a part of the 
Ministerial Reading Course for the pres-
ent year. Its application is timely, and 
should be effective in influencing all 
ministers and conference workers who 
have thus far delayed in joining the 
Reading Course study circle to apply 
for the registration card and secure the 
four books which have been carefully 
and wisely chosen by a representative 
committee. The combined volumes fur-
nish a four square field of investigation: 
First, Devotional Study: "The 
Crises of the Christ" 
Second, Inspirational: "Thoughts 
from the Mount of Blessing" 
Third, Historical and Biographical: 
"Wesley and His Century" 
Fourth, Consecrational: "The 
Glories of the Cross" 
Perhaps you have said, and are say-
ing, "But I have no time for study!" 
A book has been written by Arnold 
Bennett, entitled "How to Live on 
Twenty-four Hours a Day, " in which he 
makes the assertion, which must be ad-
mitted as true, that "We never shall 
have any more time." We have, and 
we have always had, all the time there 
is. It is not "more time" but a system-
atic budgeting of the day's time, which 
his water tank. Or, there is a surgeon 
with an emergency case requiring im-
mediate operative measures. Every 
minute counts. Does he dispense with 
needed antiseptic preparation? 0 no! 
He takes time to scrub up and to dis-
infect to avoid infection and make re-
covery favorable. We must make time 
for study. It pays—spiritually, mentally 
and in dollars and cents. 
THE MINISTERIAL ASSOCIA-
TION, Takoma Park, 
Washington, D. C. 
ARISE UP QUICKLY 
"Peter was sleeping between two 
soldiers, bound with two chains", and 
sixteen soldiers stood gaurd on the out-
side. From a human viewpoint his sit-
uation was hopeless. The Lord had 
commanded him to preach the gospel 
and "Lo I am with you" was the prom-
ise. And the mighty angel sent from 
heaven said to Peter, "Arise up quick-
ly" and the chains fell as he obeyed. Be 
orderly, but make haste and follow me 
were the instructions. Peter obeyed and 
was led out of his difficulties to victory. 
We are entering another year of col-
porteur ministry. The weeks are com-
ing and going rapidly. The command 
is "Arise up quickly and follow me," 
and with obedience and faith come suc-
cess and victory. 
Indications are that a large book work 
will be done this year in the south by 
our great army of colporteurs, but it is 
an individual matter. Peter obeyed 
quickly and was led to victory. 
A paragraph of an article in "The 
Magazine of Wall Street," dated Janu-
ary 29th says: "The food and feed re-
quirements of the South should even 
more largely be supplied by home-grown 
products, but the uninformed adviser 
must disabuse his mind of the idea 
that there is no diversification in the 
South. Less than forty per cent of the 
cultivated area in the Southeastern cot-
ton states is devoted to this crop, (cot-
ton). Approximately forty-three per 
DIGEST QUOTES SIGNS 
In the Literary Digest of January 29, 
1927, under the title "The Pope's Ap-
peal to Men to Reform Women's 
Dress," is found a symposium of the 
comments of a "number of the leading 
religious journals" on the pope's recent 
pronouncement against immodest dress. 
In the forefront of this group of "lead-
ing" journals is the Signs of the Times. 
An editorial from the pen of Elder A. L. 
Baker is quoted at length, and is de-
scribed by the Digest editor as a "pas-
sionate protest" against the modern 
trend of women's fashions. Further-
more, the reader is specifically informed 
that the Signs is a Seventh-day Adven- 
tist paper. 
Is it not fortunate that in these days 
of moral and spiritual crises, when. 
many religious journals and many de-
nominations are sounding an uncer-
tain note, the Seventh-day Adventist 
denomination, through its great medium 
to the world, should be able to pour 
forth a "passionate protest" against 
the influences undermining society? 
And is it not also fortunate that this 
is called for. .Think of r,oengineer cent is planted to corn, and about twen- 
whose train is behind schei " �

every possible second �
spite of this, almost sixty-one per cent

e0trners of the South in the 
period fi;im 1922 to 1924 produced $707 
worth of their home requirements on 
their own farms; while the farmer of 
New England produced only $656 worth 
of the goods used on the farm. The av-
erage for the entire country was ap-
proximately $684 a year." 
You will observe that the Southern 
farmer produces more for his home re-
quirements than the average for the 
entire United States and considerably 
more than the New England farmer. 
And, dear fellow .workers, these condi-
tions are improving rapidly. Let us all 
reolve to put in full time and do bigger 
things in the South than ever before, 
aside from the peak war-time years. 
We at the home office work forty-four 
hours a week. Why not the entire pub-
lishing family do that? And let us 
"Arise up quickly," make haste and 
follow Him to victory. M. F. KNOX

"protest" can be voiced through a 
journal that is so edited as to command 
the attention of a paper like the Liter-
ary Digest? Again are we encouraged 
to believe that the Signs is succeeding 
in its policy, of preparing a paper, ed-
itorially and typographically, that will 
hold the attention and respect of think-
ing men everywhere. That is why the 
Signs is, after all, the most economical 
piece of literature to use. It is results 
that count.

FIGURE FIVE, ARKANSAS 
In answer to a long-standing call for 
a meeting, Brother Anderson and wife 
and the writer came to Figure Five, 
and began a series of meetings last 
Friday night, February 18th, with a 
real good hearing considering the cold 
wave which struck that day. 
The meetings are being held in a 
Presbyterian church which is known as 
Dripping Springs church. If the 
weather is good we expect a good at-
tendance, for the people appear 
friendly and have expressed themselves 
as enjoying the four services already 
held. 
The pastor of the church was present 
Sunday, it being his regular appoint-
ment, but he insisted that I occupy the 
pulpit in his place, which I did. At the 
close of the service he came to me and 
said he liked the talk so well he was 
going to invite me home with him for 
dinner. The invitation was accepted 
and a pleasant afternoon enjoyed with 
him. 
Remember the work here in your 
prayers. �ISAAC BAKER. 
HE BEING DEAD YET 
SPEAKETH 
A clipping from the Davenport, Iowa, 
Democrat and Leader of October 1, 
1926, tells the interesting story of a 
good brother, who, after leaving minor 
cash legacies to his relatives, willed 
the bulk of his estate to the Seventh-
day Adventist denomination, and spe-
cifically provided that a certain part of 
the money should be used to send the 
Signs of the Times to a variety of peo-
ple in his home town, If the terra* 
the will are carried out, the Signs 
will appear each week for a period of 
from two to five years on the reading 
tables of the Davenport and Rock Is-
land Police and Fire Departments, the 
county jail, the county poor farm, the 
county library, the Lend-a-hand club. 
We certainly think this brother made 
wise provision for the distribution of 
his estate when he ordered the pioneer 
missionary journal of the denomination 
to be sent to these various places. He 
rests from his labors, but his works do 
follow him. However, we need not 
wait until our wills are probated in or-
der to do a strong work with the Signs. 
Individually and as churches, we may 
right now do a mighty work.

Orders for Institutional Relief books 
are still coming in. We are glad for a 
splendid order from the Avinger church.

he conducted the prayer meeting. �

Elder Miller is holding a series of 
meetings at Corsicana Splendid suc-
cess has attended his efforts. 
Our believers at Denison have great-
ly improved the interior of their church 
building. The church was re-papered, 
which gives it a very neat appearance. 
We wish to call attention to the fact 
that the missionary secretaries of our 
churches are doing excellent work. Of 
all our churches only three were indebt-
ed to the Book and Bible House at the 
close of January. The total indebted-
ness of these three churches amounted 
to $91.55 only. We appreciate the ex-
cellent service of these faithful men 
and women as well as the co-operation 
the other officers and lay members of 
the churches are giving which makes it 
possible to make up a good showing as 
a whole in the North Texas Conference. 
MISSIONARY VOLUNTEER 
NEWS 
We are receiving names for reading 
course certificates every little while. 
We are glad to see that the young peo-
ple in our conference are improving 
their time by reading good books. 
The conference Missionary Volunteer 
goals for 1927 are as follows: 
Conversions fifty-two, Bible Year thirty - 
two, Standard of Attainment twenty, 
Reading Course one hundred-thirty, 
Missions $1300 00. Will you as a society 
do your part in reaching these goals in 
1927? 
The Dalworth church organized a 
Missionary Volunteer Society Sabbath, 
February 26. They enrolled about thir-
ty seniors and juniors. Mrs. Howell 
Brooke has been chosen as leader. They 
are beginning in earnest and expect to 
make their department a real asset to 
the church. 
On Sabbath afternoon, February 19, 
some of the members of the Keene so-
ciety went to Fort Worth and favored 
the young people's society with a splen-
did program. The program was a trea-
tise on the authenticity of the Bible 
from the evolutionary and archeological 
standpoint. 
While at Jefferson, Brother Ruf met 
the officers of the young people's society 
to discuss some of their problems. The 
Jefferson society is the second largest 
in the conference and we are sure that 
the society will prosper under the lead-
ership of Douglass Prenier, and Miss 
Nora Parsons as secretary. 
The members of the Missionary Lit-
erary Club composed of the young ladies 
of the Dallas church are taking up cor-
respondence with those to whom they 
are sending papers. They have one 
hundred and fifty names, and these were 
divided among the members. They will 
no doubt have some interesting exper-
iences to report at their next meeting. 
We are glad to report the attendance 
at these regular meetings are growing 
from time to time. 
The 1927 Senior Reading Course books 
are: 
Cannibals and Headhunters of the 
South Seas, 
The Lighted Way, 
From Beacon Lights to Radio, 
Glimpses of Indian America. 
Some of these books can be obtained 
already from the Book and:Bible House.

believers in North Texas in making out 
checks and post office money orders. 
We have had considerable extra work 
at the office because post office money 
orders reach us made out to some indi-
vidual instead of to either the North 
Texas Conference of Seventh-day Ad-
ventist, or the North Texas Book and 
Bible House. 
We very much desire that all post 
office money orders and checks which 
are intended for the conference be made 
out in favor of the North Texas Con-
ference of Seventh-day Adventist, and 
remittances which are intended for the 
Book and Bible House be made out to the 
North Texas Book and Bible House. 
I am sure no one has been lax in this 
respect on purpose but simply thought 
that remittances would reach their prop-
'or destination. It is true, remittances 
coming in made out to some individual 
do reach their proper place but some-
times with a great deal of extra work. 
Often our departmental secretaries are 
in the field. In order not to forge these 
names on money orders or checks we are 
compelled to hold some remittances over 
until the party concerned returns from 
the field. I am sure you realize that this 
necessitates unnecessary delay and ex-
tra work. We thank you for your co-
operation in this respect.

OBITUARY 
Julius John Graf was born in Posen, 
Germany, November 22, 1851. At the 
age of nineteen he came to the United 
States, and later settled, with his fath-
er's family, in Good. Thunder, Minne-
sota. Here, in 1874, he was married to 
Bertha A. Meilicke. To this union 
were born three children: Otto J. , Alma 
J. , and Carl H. , besides whom two 
brothers and two sisters survive him. 
In 1884 he and his wife became Sev-
enth-day Adventists under the labors 
of W. B. Hill, and a little later, when 
a church was organized at Good Thun-
der, he was chosen elder. At this time 
he was in the hardware and implement 
business, but the call of the Lord's ser-
vice became so insistent that he sold 
his business and entered the ministry. 
He was ordained in Minnesota and lab-
ored largely among the German-speak-
ing people in the Northern and Central 
Union Conferences. 
 
Since the death of his wife in 1916 he 
has made his home with his younger 
son, Carl, and it was here in Arlington, 
Texas that he died suddenly of apo- 
plexy, February 12th, 1927, at the age 
of seventy-five years, two months and 
twenty-one days. 
His trust and confidence in the Lord 
grew stronger during his declining 
years, and the Christian's hope of the 
glorious reunion at the coming of 
Christ filled his life with peace and 
contentment. �

REPORT OF NORTH TEXAS CON- 
FERENCE SABBATH SCHOOL 
OFFERINGS FOR: THE YEAR 
1926. 
The report above shows the records 
made by the Sabbath Schools of the 
North Texas Conference during the 
year 1926. Eight schools reached the 
thirty cents per week for missions 
through the Sabbath School, and two 
4.aised more than sixty cents, which is 
the total missions goal including all 
donations given to missions. 
The Sabbath School offerings for 
the year 1926 were 813,046.49, making 
an average of eighteen cents per week 
per member. This is just three cents 
more than half of what we should 
raise. We are going to publish in the 
Record, each quarter, a report of all 
the Sabbath Schools, so all may know 
how their school is getting along. We 
are pleased to note that in one Sab-
bath School, if they do not get the de-
sired amount when the envelopes are 
taken up, they continue to pass the 
plate around until the goal for that 
day is reached. They do not fall be-
low the goal at any time during the 
quarter. If every school will raise 
their goal every Sabbath, there will be 
no shortage at the end of the quarter, 
or year.

MISSIONS INVESTMENT DAY 
You have, doubtless, read the article 
in last weeks RECORD, callng attention 
to the Missions Investment program to 
be held March 12th,-in all our churches. 
The plan is to have a little program at 
the close of the Sabbath school, setting 
before our people the missions invest-
ment plan. I suppose every one of our 
members and our Sabbath school mem-
bers believe that they should have some 
investment or rather should make some 
investment, in missions. Some of our 
people have made very large invest-
ments, in that they halie given their 
sons and daughters to go to foreign 
fields and in some instances never will 
see them again until they meet in the 
earth made new. The most of us are 
not called upon to make such invest-
ments as this, but would it not be nice 
if we would all mutually enter into the 
investment plan? 
While we cannot invest sons and 
daughters, we can invest some little 
thing of value and give it opportunity 
to grow and help it develop into more 
value so we can make larger offerings 
to missions. The missions investment 
plan is a right hand helper in the sixty-
cents-a-week fund. What we desire to 
do in North Texas is to raise sixty 
cents a week per member throughout 
the year for our entire membership. I 
am sure this can be done if we all 
rightly relate ourselves to it. It is in-
tended that in the missions investment

plan each person will either invest in 
money or in some article of value a 
certain amount that it may grow and 
make a larger amount. I think in the 
previous article in the RECORD there 
were- a number of suggestions made 
such as a certain number of rows of 
cotton or corn or other produce, also a 
setting of eggs or a numder of eggs 
each week or a definite percent of eggs 
or any other produce. I have known 
of instances where people have made 
investments that seemed very small 
but when they were cosecrated to the 
cause of God, he so blessed them that 
they produced many fold, so let us not 
despise the day of small things but let 
us each one take part in the missions 
investment plan and make some invest-
ment that will have opportunity to de-
velop and grow, so that we will be able 
to place a larger amount in the mis-
' sions investment than we haVe in the 
past. �

SABBATH SCHOOL SECRETAR- 
IES' HONOR ROLL 
There are two things that largely de-
termine the efficiency of a local Sab-
bath school- secretary in her work of 
acting as a medium beween her school 
and the Sabbath School Department 
of the. conference, These two things 
are; reporting on time, and seeing that 
the report is complete and accurate. 
These two items are of , vital impor-
tance to the one responsible for the 
Sabbath school work in the conference 
office. 
During the year 1926, there were a 
number who faithfully performed their 
.work in this respect. We want to ex-
press our appreciation for the good 
work of these secretaries. Below, is a

plete, and were received on time, for

OBITUARY 
MAYS-11/11.s. 1VIary Jane, formerly 
Miss Mary Jane Williamson, was born 
in Salisbury, N. C., July 19, 1849. Died 
February 5, 1927, at the age of seventy-
eight years, six months and seven-
teen days. 
At the age of five, she moved from 
North Carolina to Newbern, 'Tennes- 
see, with her parents, who �
were 
pioneers of that day, and both strong 
Christian characters. At the age of 
seven little Mary Jane gave her heart 
to God and later united with the 
1Vlethodist church with her parents. 
She was firm in her faith and faithful 
to her covenant with the Lord through 
all these years. 
As a child, she was very studious 
and when her parents bought toys for 
her they were always books. Her first 
teacher was the grandfather of Dr. 
William Anderson, Jr. who is now 
pastor of the First Presbyterian 
church of Dallas. In her young woman-
hood she had .amibition to enter the 
medical profession and read to some 
extent along these lines, but the Civil 
War interfered with her plans, as it 
did with many others, and through her 
unselfish spirit she gave up her school-
ing so that her younger sisters and 
brother, six in number, might have the 
advantage of an education, for all of 
which her father had to pay in those 
day when there were no free schools. 
She was married to Thomas Frazier 
at the age of nineteen, to which union 
was born four sons, Sam Willie, 
Thomas Franklin, 'Clarence who pas-
sed away in infancy, and Bob, to 
whom she was not only mother, but 
comrade as well; even to the teaching 
of her little boys to swim. Their 
father, who was never well, passed 
away leaving mother with three boys 
to raise. �
Undaunted, she assumed 
this responsibility bravely and cheer-
fully. After four years, she was mar-
ried to Thomas Jefferson Mays and in 
this union her niother heart was made 
happy by the birth of three little girls, 
Lucy, Jessy, and Sarah who passed 
away in infancy, and one boy, Cecil. 
The loss of the second husband neces-
vitated her taking up again the re-
sponsibility of being father, mother 
and companion to a second family of 
children. She was a devoted mother, 
always putting the interests of her 
children first; never tiring of en-
couraging them to noble achievement 
and constantly guiding them in Chris-
tian endeavor. Through patient toil, 
she not only raised her own six dill- 
• dren to maturity, but also three step-
children and several other little 
orphans, to all of whom she was a 
1E:al mother. Her greatest hope was 
to be allowed to live to see her chil-
dren all settled in life, and she often 
expressed thankfulness at being al-
lowed this privilege. And her last 
days were 'made happy by having all 
of them near her. 
She was never too busy, even with 
all of her large family, to find time 
for church work and was always 
active in Sabbath school, missionary 
work and other church activities, 
training her children accordingly. 
About eight years ago, she became in-' 
terested, in the Seventh-day Adventist 
church and after-making a close study 
was baptised in that faith by Elder 
George Seltzer, of the Dallas church, 
in which hope she continued faithful 
to the end. 
:Two years prior to the day she 
passed away, she fell, crippling her-
self to the extent that she was never 
able to walk again and became an in-
valid and shut-in, but always hopeful 
of full' recovery. During the first of 
her illness, she was lovingly attended 
by Dr. W.Pl Davis, an osteopath and 
a real Christian gentleman, who al-
ways took pleasure in talking with 
her about the beautiful truths of the 
Word of God. During a portion of the 
time, she was also lovingly attended 
by Dr. W. T. Baker who was never 
too busy and in too much of a hurry to 
stop and visit with her awhile. 
She was made happy, too, by the 
many visits from th ladies of the 
Eastern Star, the Seventh-day Adven-
tist church, and the many other friends

who were always dropping in for a 
little visit, or sending beautiful 
flowers to brighten up her room. 
which mother always called "God's 
thoughts." When visitors came, she 
was always the most cheerful one pre-
sent, and when they would leave, she 
never failed to express gratitude for 
her many loving friends. 
Being naturally spiritually minded, 
her last days Were spentI in fondest 
anticipation of the great life that lay 
beyond. When the ends came, she 
closed her eyes in peaceful sleep, and 
of her it can truly be said, "Well 
done, thou good and faithful servant. 
Enter thou into the kingdom of thy 
Lord." 
Words of comfort were spoken by 
Elder H. S. Prenier, assisted by Doctor 
Frank 0. Wheeler. JESSY MAYS.

DENISON MEETING 
You will be glad to know as you read 
this that our public effort in Denison 
has commenced. Sunday, February 27, 
was the opening meeting and they are 
to run until the first of April. We 
have secured the Star Theater, which 
will seat 1,000 people, for our Sunday 
night services. Sister Tilden, a mem-
ber of our little Denison company, do-
nated five-sixths of the entire rent of 
the theater. The other members we 
have here are doing all they can too, to 
make the meeting a success, and have 
faith that it will be one. The confer-
ence has arranged for Brother Ortner 
and Sister Glendenning, of Dallas, to 
help in the service over week ends, and 
are also supplying us with several 
thousand tracts and papers for free dis-
tribution. If you have friends living in 
Denison write them of the meeting.

OUR LIBERTY IN DANGER 
The forces of evil are putting forth 
strenuous efforts to get Congress to 
pass religious laws which would 
seriously conflict with religious liberty. 
If you could spend several days at 
Washington, D. C. you would have the 
privilege of seeing our brethren at the 
present time putting forth untiring ef-
forts in trying to hold back such evil 
enactments. �
• 
Each year one Sabbath has been de-
voted to a religious liberty program in 
order to keep our people informed along 
these lines. This year the first Sabbath 
in March was set apart for this im-
portant work. The last number of the 
program should be a liberal offering 
toward the conference religious liberty 
fund. The offering is greatly needed 
for the paying of eight hundred Liberty 
Magazine subscriptions to prominent 
lawyers and educators residing in our 
field. Brethren, we must educate the 
public in regard to these far-reaching 
principles of religious liberty. Let the 
offering be a liberal one, after which 
you may also wish to take all the 
Liberty Magazine subscriptions possible, 
but be sure to send all such subscrip-
tions through our office in order that 
there be no duplicating, since the con-
ference is already sending eight hundred 
Liberty Magazines to prominent men 
and women outside of our faith.

Brother Hooper is in the field busily 
engaged getting his canvassers started. 
Among recent callers at the office 
were C. W. Cox, of Bartlesville, and 
Ray Guffey, of Shawnee. 
A long distance call just received 
from Ardmore reported the death 
of Brother Bridwell's aunt, Mrs. 
Brewer. 
Elder Clark is spending a few days 
at Weatherford and Binger before go-
ing to College View.for Union College 
board meeting. 
With the rush of work Mrs. Estes 
was called to help out in the office a 
few days. She has not forgotten how 
to do it and it seemed quite. natural to 
have her numbered with the office 
working force. 
Things have been very quiet about 
the conference office since the colpor-
teurs' institute closed. The secretaries 
including the Book and Bible House 
secretary have been in the field and the 
change is very noticeable. 
Elder Clark spent Friday, Sabbath 
and Sunday with the Follet and Shat-
tuck churches. He reports a number 
of good meetings in spite of the fact 
that he arrived there in the worst bliz-

zard of the season. Many people in the 
country could not attend the service. 
The roads were blocked to the south 
church so a large number from there 
attended the city church. 
Word coming from the last place 
visited by Sister Minnie Sype makes it 
possible to report that her visits among 
the churches in the conference were 
profitable and greatly appreciated by 
all concerned. 
Elder Beddoe and Brother Bridwell 
spent several days at Ardmore over the 
week-end in- a home missionary conven-
tion. Elder Eichman of the union con-
ference joined them in this meeting. 
Sister Sype's assistance was greatly 
appreciated also. 
Elder Dart has been under the 
weather with a heavy cold and spent 
the week-end at home and with the Ok-
lahoma City church. He is just start-
ing a tour of the southwest part of the 
state as these items are being written. 
March 5 is an important day and is 
being emphasized by the present battle 
in Congress to secure the passage of a 
Sunday bill. It is Religious Liberty 
program day and we sincerely hope 
every church and company, also the 
isolated, will give the attention to this 
program of which it is worthy. 
Elder Clark and Brother Estes made 
a trip to Guthrie last Tuesday to meet 
with the Commercial Club and city of-
ficials with a view to making arrange-
ments for the camp meeting. The 
Methodists and Presbyterian people are 
desirous of arranging their meetings 
with ours so that our equipment may 
serve all. 
Word from the elder of the East 
Cooper church assures us that all prep-
arations will be made to make the 
church officerS' convention to be held 
there March 11, 12, and 13, a profitable 
and pleasant meeting. The Shattuck 
group is already planning for a big 
meeting when the convention is held 
there March 18, 19, and 20. 
OKMULGEE CALLS 
A few days spent with the believers at 
Okmulgee were both enjoyable and 
profitable. Arriving there on Sabbath 
morning we were met at the depot by 
Brother Smith who took us three miles 
out to his farm where the other be-
lievers soon gathered and we held 
service at the home of the brother. 
At the close of the service a number 
of questions were asked and a Bible 
study followed after which those faith- 
ful people turned in their tithes with 
gladness of heart. 
On Sunday we were taken four miles 
further out to hold a meeting at the 
Sunrise school house. Soon after sun-
set the visitors began to gather at the 
hall and so anxious were they to hear 
the message that they lighted up the 
hall and had it all ready when we got 
there. After speaking to them on the 
subject, "Life only in Christ" we had 
some very interesting testimonies in-
terspersed with jubilees which were 
very inspiring. 
At the close of the meeting the man 
in charge of the building extended to 
us a standing invitation to occupy the 
hall every second and fourth Sunday 
and impart to them more of this pre-
cious truth. 
Consequent of the roads being very 
bad we were unable to respond to the 
invitation of Pastor Henderson of the 
Congregational church to occupy his 
pulpit on Monday night but assured him 
that we will not fail to respond on our 
next visit, weather permitting. It is 
also interesting to state that as a result 
of our visit one woman took her stand 
for the truth, and inspired by what she 
saw on Sabbath, has begun paying her 
tithes. 
We thank the Lord for these provi-
dential openings and bright prospects. 
We feel that Okmulgee has issued her 
Macedonian call for help and we are 
hoping to launch an effort there and by 
God's help gather in a number of souls 
for the Master's kingdom. Remember 
these hungry souls when you pray.

protestant population. The interest at 
Gardner continues good. Several per-
sons are joining the Bible reading 
class. 
SPANISH WORK IN 
NEW MEXICO 
The Sunday before last I went to vis-
it the Spanish Presbyterian church and 
as they saw me they invited me to take 
charge of the young people's meeting. 
The subject for that night was "How 
to Pull Together" and I took advantage 
and talked about the importance of cul-
tivating the brotherly love of which 
Paul speaks and added that it was im-
possiblis to conceive such love if we were 
eating impure foods. I explained that is 
a reason why the Seventh-day Adventists 
teach and practice temperance. 
When I closed, the pastor asked me 
to talk to them about temperance the 
next Sunday and I3did it gladly. 
After I explained that the observance 
of the law of God is love, for it 
is a law of love, and after I talked 
briefly of what the Scriptures says 
about food and about the care we are 
to take of our bodies I read a few quo-
tations from the testimonies of Mrs. 
White. 
When I finished, many of the brethern 
came to me to shake hands and told me 
they never before had realized the great 
importance of temperance, and its re-
lation to religious matters, concerning 
the use of tea, coffee, chile, and meat. 
Then several asked me the name of the 
author of such a good book that tells 
the actual truth. 
I am distributing much literature and 
even though the people seems to be 
quite indifferent and suspicious, it seems 
to me they do not receive with scorn the 
papers I give them as they do with the 
Baptist and Presbyterian literature. 
May the Lord bless and guide those 
that are reading, so when those that 
preach the truth clearer come to them 
they do not feel offended but will accept 
the truth.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, THE 
INHERITORS OF RELIGIOUS 
LIBERTY BANNER 
Speaking of the loyalty of the early 
reformers, when the German princes 
assembled at the Diet of Spires, and 
the hope of the world, as it were, 
seemed about to be crushed out, the 
Lord says, "The banner of truth and 
religious liberty which these reformers 
held aloft, has in this last conflict been 
committed to us, " and further, "As 
we make God's word the guide of our 
lives. . . . the acknowledgetnent of the 
truth in word and deed is our confes-
sion of faith. Only thus can others 
know that we believe the Bible." Test. 
Vol. 6: 402-403. 
Speaking again of our activities to 
enlighten the world upon the principles 
of religious liberty the servant of God 
tells us that, "Everything that we can do 
should be done that those who are will 
ing to suffer for the truth's sake may 
be saved from oppression and cruelty.... 
But the people of God are not to hide 
their banner. They are not to ignore 
the commandments of God, and in or-
der to have an easy time, go with the 
multitude to do evil." Vol. 9: 230. 
So dear brethren, while God has 
committed to us His precious banner of 
truth and religious liberty, let us never 
forget that the world is watching to 
see if we are true to our profession, 
while scattering the literature bearing 
the messsage pertaining to this great 
issue, for only as we practice the truth 
before our neighbors and friends will 
they be convinced that we believe the 
Bible. 
Then let us go forth as an "Army 
with banners," doing everything pos-
sible to enlighten the world of the 
coming crisis by making liberal contri-
butions Sabbath, March 5, that the 
great moulder of public thought may 
find its way into the homes and offices 
of every leader in the Texico Confer-
ence, and by scattering the printed 
pages dealing with this particular sub-
ject, and last, but by no means the 
least,• let us never forget that, "The 
most powerful argument", which we 
are able to present is a clean, pure 
Christian life. �

OUR SCHOOLS LIKE CITIES 
OF REFUGE 
The Lord has told us that our schools 
are to be like cities of refuge for the 
tempted youth, and as asylums for 
those who are sorely tried, and to fit the 
youth to stand in the day of God's 
preparation, protecting them from the 
infidel sentiments of the world, and 
prepare them for the heavenly school, 
and that these institutions should be 
object lessons for surrounding COM-
munities. 
Ever since the subtle tempter suc-
ceeded in getting our first parents to 
receive a bit of mixed knowledge, the 
question of what should and what 
should not be taught in the schools has 
been one of supreme importance, and 
one over which there will be a contro-
versy until the close of time. And it is 
not a strange thing that the same 
subtle influences come knocking at the 
doors of these "cities of refuge," 
neither is it strange that now and 
again, those who are not familiar with 
the warnings of the Lord concerning 
the danger of this worldly wise nostrum 
from the leaves of the tree of knowl-
edge of good and evil, should get into

SOUTHWESTERN UNION RECORD 
an institution of the Lord's planting, 
and thus succeed in turning the tide of 
that center of learning's influence in 
the wrong direction for a time. 
That the above is not an overdrawn 
picture is evident from the following 
words from the Spirit of Prophecy; 
"Though in many respects our institu-
tions of learning have swung into 
worldly conformity, though step by step 
they have advanced toward the world, 
they are prisoners of hope. . . . If they 
will listen to His voice and follow His 
ways, God will correct and enlighten 
them, and bring them back to their up-
right position of distinction from the 
world." Vol. 6, pp. 145. 
Oh, how it ought to rejoice our hearts 
to know that God has not cut off these 
little cities of refuge, and left the Ad-
vent youth with no place to flee for 
safety in these troublous times. 
The great question with everyone of 
us then is, how shall we relate our-
selves to these divinely appointed 
havens of rest for our children? What 
shall we do 'about it when things seem 
to be going in the wrong direction 
around our colleges and academies? 
Shall we say, "Well, the schools of the 
world are just as good, and I am going 
to send my children there?" No, no, 
let us not say that, for this would 
please the enemy, and be an ackowledg-
ment of defeat, and make it impossible 
for the schools to serve their purpose, 
so far as we are concerned, and would 
give the lie to our profession concern-
ing Christian education. 
Rather, let us be slow to criticise 
that which God has planted, but swift 
to pray earnestly that He may impart 
wisdom to those who have to do with 
selecting faculties to teach in these in-
stitutions of learning, that the day may 
speedily come when every worldly in-
fluence may be uprooted from these 
cities of refuge. and that they may oc-
cupy their rightful place distinct from 
the world. 
The writer was impressed with the 
sacredness of these asylums for the 
sorely-tried youth recently while visit-
ing some of the more important ones, 
and listened to teachers and students 
with one accord tell why they were 
there, giving their lives in unselfish 
service, or training to go to some far-
away mission land to tell the sweet 
story of God's love to those who know 
Him not. 
While our schools have not always 
been what God intended, the tide has 
surely turned, and beyond a shadow of 
a doubt we are'soon to see them stand-

tion from the world." And for this 
high ideal shall we not, one and all, 
work and pray so that when the Mas-
ter comes, we shall, with our boys and 
girls, enter the great school above?
