Tur Christian walks in a narrow way, but
stands on a broad platform. His platform is
“the commandments of God and the faith of
Jesus.” A broad platform, and the narrow
way is an infinitely better combination than
a narrow platform and the broad way.
As 1s announced on another page, it has
been decided to begin the publication of a
paper to be the special organ of the Southern
Union Conference, to serve as a medium of
communication between Sabbath-keepers in
this conference on all matters of conference
business. This will leave the WATCHMAN
free to devote all its space to matter interest-
ing to all classes of its readers. Arrangements
will be made at once to begin the publication
of this new paper.
THE WATCHMAN
GREAT results are hoped for from the com-
ing peace conference at The Hague, but vastly
greater benefits have already been realized in
the world from a peace council described in
these words of the prophecy of Zechariah:
“Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The Branch;
and he shall grow up out of his place, and
he shall build the temple of the Lord; . . . and
he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule
upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon
his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be
between them both.” Zech. 6:12, 13. Every
blessing the human race enjoys to-day comes
as a result of this peace counsel, between
Christ, man’s high priest and Advocate, and
his Father, the Omnipotent. Things are going
on in heaven to-day much more worthy of
our interest than any event transpiring on the
earth.
ONE of the most useful books that could be
in any person’s library is a volume entitled
“Home and Health,” recently issued by the
Pacific Press Pub. Co., of Mountain View, Cal.
Any person interested in maintaining a home
or concerned in the multitudinous problems of
home-making, can hardly fail to be interested
in this book. It covers almost the whole range
of useful information on this subject. Among
the topics treated are Suggestions on Build-
ing, Sewage, Healthful Surroundings, Water
Supply, Furnishing the Home, General House-
keeping, Care of Floors, Plumbing, Launder-
ing, House-Cleaning, Fruit Canning, Exter-
mination of Pests, Miscellaneous Recipes,
Good Food, Cooking, Stimulants and Narcot-
ics, Ventilation, Care of the Body, Making
the Toilet, Healthful Dress, Hygiene of the
Voice and Teeth, Social Purity, Care and
Training of Children, Home Treatment of
Disease, Emergency Treatments, and many
others which we have not space to mention.
It is a book we can most highly recommend.
Prices range from $2.50 to $4.50, according to
style of binding. Order of Pacific Press Pub.
Co., Mountain View, Cal, or Review and Her-
ald Pub. Co., Washington, D. C.
Dip you ever lose some valuable clippings
that you would not have parted with for
money, and which you have not been able to
duplicate since? If so, you are quite likely
to get them back again out of the scrap-book
column we are soon to begin in the Warcn-
MAN ; provided, of course, that you are taking
the WarcaMAN. Very many of our workers
have valuable clippings, some on one subject,
some on another, which they will be willing
to loan us for reproduction in this column,
so that the helps possessed by each in this
line will be passed on to all. This proposi-
tion is already meeting with a hearty response,
and we are receiving valuable matter. Some
have expressed themselves as being afraid to
forward what they have in this line for fear
of its getting lost. We think there is little
danger of this if it is addressed carefully,
and we promise to take good care of all matter
sent.
In order that all who wish these scrap-books
may have them in hand réady for use when
the publication of this matter is begun, it
seems best to defer beginning it for a short
time beyond the date previously mentioned, so
we have now fixed upon the issue of June 18
for beginning the publication of this special
matter, instead of the issue of June 4. Please
note this change of date. We hope all who
wish one of these scrap-books will let us know
at once, so we can arrange to supply the de-
mand. Orders have been coming in quite
rapidly, and we do not want any one to be dis-
appointed or be at the disadvantage of getting
a late start.
Tur workings of a Sunday law are illus-
trated by the case of a member of the Seventh-
day Adventist church at Ford's Store, Md,
Brother John Curlett, who is now in jail at
Centerville, Md., for having done secular work
on Sunday. The following interesting report
of the case is given by Brother Morris Lu-
kens :(—
“The constable who arrested him (and by
the way, this officer had been appointed only
the day before) said, ‘I am in this work for
all T can get out of it” Taking advantage
of an old law in the State of Maryland, he
drove to Ford's Store to see if he could find
Brother Curlett at work. Passing several oth-
ers who .were breaking the law, he drove
around a back road, then through another
man’s farm. Tying his horse here, he went
through a woods, and there found Brother Cur-
lett quietly working on the back part of his
farm, fully one half mile from the public road,
and took him to a magistrate, who placed him
under bond to appear at court.
“is case came before the court May 8.
He was tried before a jury, convicted, fined,
and because his conscience would not let him
pay the fine, he was placed in the Centerville
jail for thirty days.
“Tt was my privilege to visit Brother Cur-
lett in the jail, May 14. I remarked to him,
“You seem very happy under the
As we sat on the side of the prison
bed, he told me the reason. I will give it in
his own words. He said: ‘As the sheriff
opened the iron door to put me in, he said to
another prisoner, “ Here is company for you.”
circum-
stances.
My fellow prisoner immediately told me his
troubles. I told him he had broken the law,
and was now trying to carry the burden alone;
that if he would confess his sin, and ask God
to forgive him and bless him, he would do
so. He said that life was not worth living,
and that he was about to kill himself when I
came. After talking with him about the prom-
ises of God, I suggested that we have prayer.
As we arose from prayer, he said, “1 praise
God for sending you here to comfort me,” and
then we quietly sang the hymn, “Jesus, lover
of my soul.” I tell you it was the best prayer-
meeting 1 ever attended, and as I have since
seen that man give his heart to the Lord, I
am thankful I am here.

These have been the
