" THOU REMAINEST." 
HAND in hand with Thee united, 
Love unchanging thou dost tell ; 
With thyself I am delighted; 
" Thou remainest ;" all is well. 
Thou didst come,•a Man of sorrows, 
Just to rescue man who fell: 
Thy dear love has no to-morrows; 
Present, changeless; all is well. 
Loss of earth shall not. confound me 
(Let thy praise my bosom swell), 
God within, above, around me; 
" Thou remainest ;" all is well. 
When the outlook seems most dreary, 
In thy strength of love I dwell ; 
Thou hast comfort for the weary: 
" Thou remainest ;" all is well. 
Kept alone by Jesus' merit, 
All the powers of earth and hell 
Can not hurt a trusting spirit : 
" Thou remainest ;" all is well. 
" Thou remainest," what a treasure I 
Sounding clear as clarion bell 
In my heart with rhythmic measure, 
" Thou remainest ;" all is well. 
Tell it out, the wondrous story: 
Sound it over hill and dell; 
Say he reigns, the King of glory! 
In his presence, all is well. 
—King's Messenger. 
" LOVE for God makes service a 
joy." 
" Gm is not mocked ; whatsoever 
we sow, we shall also reap." 
" DENY THYSELF, AND TAKE UP THE 
CROSS." 
"WHOSOEVER shall keep the whole 
law, and yet offend in one point, he is 
guilty of all." A great work needs to 
be done in our churches. The mem-
bers are not prepared for the coming 
of the Lord. God's law needs to be 
written in mind and heart. Many, 
like the rich young ruler, when tested 
and tried, will refuse to deny self, to 
take up the cross and follow Christ. 
When the test comes to a man, and 
he refuses to obey, he shows that he 
is unregenerate in heart, whatever 
may be the outward propriety of his 
conduct, or whatever belief he may 
claim to have in the truth. He needs 
to have the law brought home to his 
conscience, that he may see the ex-
ceeding sinfulness of sin. He must 
die to self. Until self is crucified, he 
can not know what spiritual holiness is. 
The question was asked by Christ, 
" What is a man profited, if he shall 
gain the whole world, and lose his own 
soul? or what shall a man give in ex-
change for his soul ? " Man sells 
himself cheaply when he spends his 
life in securing worldly advantages ; 
for in the ambition to secure earthly 
estate, God is forgotten, and he reaps 
loss to all eternity. His money and 
lands can not pay a ransom for his 
soul. Better, far better, to have shat-
tered hopes and the world's denuncia-
tion with the approval of God, than to 
sit with princes and forfeit heaven. 
" Ye can not serve God and mammon," 
Christ declares. 
The young ruler represents many 
in our world to-day. God has en-
trusted his goods to them, that they 
may advance his kingdom by planting 
the standard of truth in places where 
the message has never been heard. 
But they do not carry out God's pur-
pose. The words, " Deny thyself, 
take up thy cross, and follow me, " 
cut directly across their cherished 
plans, and they refuse to obey. God's 
messages• come to his people, but they 
have not been, and are not yet, will-
ing to receive them. He is testing 
them as he was testing the young ruler 
when he said to him, " If thou wilt be 
perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and 
give to the poor, and thou shalt have 
treasure in heaven : and come and 
follow me. " God calls upon his 
people to turn from the earthly to the 
heavenly, to yield up to him his own. 
Nothing that they have is theirs ; 
they themselves are not their own ; 
for God's word declares, " Ye are not 
your own ; for ye are bought with a 
price ; therefore glorify God in your 
body, and in your spirit, which are 
God's. "

There is no caste with God. 
Those who believe that there are cer-
tain principles to which the poor must 
adhere, and from which the rich are 
exempt, are under fatal delusion. 
There is not one standard for the poor, 
and another for the rich. God does 
not call upon one to do all the self-
sacrificing, while the other lives ac-
cording to his own ideas and plans. 
It behooves us at this time to live as if 
in the sight of eternal realities, to lose 
sight of self, to tear out of the heart 
every fiber of selfishness; �
If rich 
men keep the commandments of God, 
they will do the work that needs to be 
done for those whom Christ has pur-
chased with his blood. In this way 
only can they follow Christ. In order 
to save suffering humanity from per-
ishing in sin, he left the royal courts 
and came to the earth. Laying aside 
his kingly crown and royal robe, he 
resigned his high command in the 
heavenly courts, and for our sakes be-
came poor, that we through his pov-
erty might be rich. When God en-
trusts man with riches, it is that he 
may adorn the doctrine of Christ our 
Saviour by using his earthly treasure 
in advancing the kingdom of God in 
our world. He is to represent Christ, 
and therefore is not to live to please 
and glorify himself, to receive honor 
because he is rich. 
When the heart is cleansed from 
sin, Christ is placed on the throne 
that self-indulgence and love of 
earthly treasure once occupied. The 
image of Christ is seen in the expres-
sion of the countenance. The work 
of sanctification is carried forward in 
the soul. Self-righteousness is ban-
ished. There is seen the putting on 
of the new man, which after Christ is 
created in righteousness and true holi_ 
ness. " If ye then be risen with 
Christ, seek those things which are 
above, where Christ sitteth on the 
right hand of God. " God is a rich 
provider. He is a fountain of inex-
pressible love ; and he desires all his 
servants to remember that, as his 
faithful servants, they are to use his 
bountiful provisions to relieve the 
necessities of suffering human beings 
whom he has bought with the blood 
of his only begotten Son.

THE RELATION THAT WORKERS 
SHOULD SUSTAIN TO ONE AN- 
OTHER IN THE MESSAGE.* 
" ALL ye are brethren." " Finally 
be ye all of one mind ; love as breth-
ren, be pitiful, be courteous, not ren-
dering evil for evil, or railing for rail-
ing : but contrariwise blessing ; know-
ing that ye are thereunto called that 
ye should inherit a blessing. For he 
that will love life, and see good days, 
let him refrain his tongue from evil, 
and his lips that they speak no guile : 
let him eschew evil, and do good : let 
him seek peace and pursue it." 
Nothing could be of more impor-
tance in the closing work of God than 
to have a clear knowledge, not only of 
the relations that should exist between 
workers in any or all departments of 
the cause, but the knowledge that we 
are in harmony with them in heart 
and life. The world, the flesh, and 
the devil are arrayed against the truth 
of God to-day, and are rapidly 
strengthening their forces for the final 
struggle which must come soon. Here 
we are a little band with an unpopular 
truth to give to this mighty mass of 
humanity. As a class we have but 
little education, polish, or eloquence. 
I do not know but it may be proper 
to liken our present situation to that 
of the three hundred Spartans at the 
pass of Thermopylm. If ever there 
was a need of pressing together in the 
openings God has made, and like the 
Spartans giving our lives to establish 
the sacred honor of our Master's 
cause, that need is now. But how 
shall we do it? While we lack in 
education, in eloquence, and in ex-
perience, we have one most comfort- 
*Paper read at a New England Conference 
workers' convention. 
ing assurance. The great Captain of 
the Lord's host has said, " Lo, I am 
with you," and " All ye are brethren." 
Upon this we must build our hopes. 
Upon the knowledge of the true mean-
ing of this relationship will be our 
success. What does it mean ? An-
other term for brethren is brothers. 
But either term suggests the family 
relation, members of the same family. 
How is it that we, who until recently 
have never met, or known anything of 
one another, are brethren ? Paul pre-
sents the answer, and shows what the 
family really is, in these words, " But 
we see Jesus who was made a little 
lower than the angels for the suffering 
of death, crowned with glory and 
honor ; that he by the grace of God 
should taste death for every man. For 
it became him, for whom are all things, 
and by whom are all things, in bring-
ing many sons unto glory, to make the 
Captain of their salvation perfect 
through sufferings. For both he that 
sanctifieth and they who are sanctified 
are all of one : for which cause he is 
not ashamed to call them brethren." 
The closest earthly relation, as 
brought to view in the Bible, is that 
of marriage. The husband and wife 
are one. The next is the relation be-
tween parents and children, and the 
next, the relation between the children, 
the sons are brothers, the daughters 
are sisters. While we call this the 
third step or degree in relation, it is 
not so in fact. Of the parents it is 
said, " They twain shall be one flesh," 
but the children are as truly one flesh 
as the parents. �
It is through the 
agony of travail that we become chil-
dren, brothers and sisters, and it is 
through the agony of a divine death 
that we become children of God, and 
brethren with the Lord Jesus Christ. 
" He shall see of the travail of his 
soul." He was born in the flesh, we 
are of one flesh ; " For we are mem, 
bers of his body, of his flesh, and of 
his bones." He was born of the Spirit 
by the way of Gethsemane and Cal-
vary. All who are born that way are 
his brothers indeed. This class es-
pecially he calls " brethren." He de-
signs that those he calls and sends 
forth into the field to represent him 
shall be of this class. 
Three things 
are therefore evident : (1) He is 
Brother to us each," He is not ashamed 
4 to call them brethren ;" ( 2 ) They are 
each brother to each, " All ye are 
brethren ;" and ( 3 ) Being brothers to 
him and to each other, there must be 
the same relation, so far as the family 
tie is concerned, between us as work-
ers that there is between us and our 
Elder Brother, the Lord Jesus. This, 
as Paul says, is a mystery—the mys-
tery of the gospel. We are all in the 
same family, we are all one flesh, we 
are all engaged in the same work. 
Though widely separated, we are all 
in the same field, and in the field, 
wherever we are, " We are workers 
together." Not simply together, but 
together with the Elder Brother, who 
is God. The mystery is that he being 
God can be our brother. 
Not believing this most glorious 
truth has led to much of the skepticism 
of all ages, even since God demon-
strated his incarnation in the flesh 
eighteen hundred years ago in the 
person of Jesus Christ. 
Workers can not know the relation 
existing between them as individuals 
till they fully recognize this truth as a 
fact. This being true, if Christ is my 
brother, and I accept and know that, 
and Brother A can say, Christ is my 
brother, and he accepts and knows 
that ; then Brother A is as truly my 
brother as is Christ. Christ estab-
lishes this by showing that in the di-
vision of the inheritance we will be 
" joint heirs " with him. To the extent 
0,„ we realize and accept this truth by ex-
perience, we realize and know the re-
lation that should exist between us as 
workers—the relation that must and 
does exist between true workers. This 
relation is as much above the ordinary 
flesh relation as God is above man.

IMPORTANCE OF CAMP-MEETINGS, AT-
TENDANCE, ETC. 
WE present in the following lines 
important thoughts and extracts from 
the Testimonies relative to camp-
meetings, our attendance at the same, 
etc., and trust that each one will read 
carefully the article over several times, 
and especially that part pertaining to 
attendance. You will find this in-
struction, and much more, in " Testi-
monies for the Church," Volume VI., 
pages 31-88 : 
" The camp-meeting is one of the 
most important agencies in our work. 
It is one of the most effective methods 
of arresting the attention of the peo-
ple, and reaching all classes with the 
gospel invitation." " The reasons of 
our faith are not understood by the 
people, and we have been regarded as 
fanatics, who were ignorantly keeping 
Saturday for Sunday. In our work 
we have been perplexed to know how 
to break through the barriers of 
worldliness and prejudice and bring 
before the people the precious truth 
which means so much to them. The 
Lord has instructed us that the camp-
meeting is one of the most important 
instrumentalities for the accomplish-
ment of this work." 
" Our camp-meetings have another 
object preparatory to this. They are 
to promote spiritual life among our 
own people. The world in its wis-
dom knows not God. The world can 
not see the beauty, the loveliness, the 
goodness, the holiness of divine truth. 
And in order that men may under-
stand this, there must be a channel 
through which it shall come to the 
world. The church has been consti-
tuted that channel. Christ reveals him-
self to us, that we may reveal him to 
others. Through his people are to be 
manifested the riches and glory of his 
unspeakable gift." " The special ob-
ject of the camp-meeting is to lead 
people to discern what they must do 
to inherit eternal life." " Those who 
gather at camp-meetings must be im- 
(3) 331 
pressed with the fact that the object 
of our camp-meetings is to attain to a 
higher Christian experience, to ad-
vance in the knowledge of God, to 
become strengthened with spiritual 
vigor ; and unless we realize this, the 
meetings will be fruitless to us." 
AN OBJECT LESSON. 
" Every camp-meeting should be an 
object-lesson of neatness, order, and 
good taste. We must give careful re-
gard to economy and must avoid dis-
play ; but everything connected with 
the grounds should be neat and tidy. 
In all our work we should present the 
discipline of organization and order. 
Everything should be so arranged as 
to impress both our own people and 
the world with the sacredness and im-
portance of the work of God. The 
regulations observed in the encamp-
ment of the Israelites are an example 
to us. It was Christ who gave these 
special instructions to Israel, and he 
intended them for us also, upon whom 
the ends of the world are come. We 
should study carefully the specifica-
tions of God's word and practice these 
directions as the will of God. Let 
everything connected with the en-
campment be pure, wholesome, and 
cleanly. Special attention should be 
given to all sanitary arrangements, 
and men of sound judgment and dis-
cernment should see that nothing is 
permitted to sow the seeds of sickness 
and death throughout the encamp-
ment. 
" The tents should be securely 
staked, and whenever there is liability 
of rain, every tent should be trenched. 
On no account let this be neglected. 
Serious and even fatal illness has 
been contracted through neglect of 
this precaution. 
" We should feel that we are repre-
sentatives of truth of heavenly origin. 
We are to show forth the praises of 
him who has called us out of darkness 
into his marvelous light. We should 
ever bear in mind that angels of God 
are walking through the encampment 
beholding the order and arrangement 
332 (4) �
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
in every tent. To the large numbers 
of people who come to the ground, all 
the arrangements are an illustration 
of the belief and principles of the 
people conducting the meeting. It 
should be the best illustration possi-
ble. All the surroundings should be 
a lesson. Especially should the fam-
ily tents, in their neatness and order, 
giving a glimpse of home life, be a 
constant sermon as to the habits, cus-
toms, and practices of Seventh-day 
Adventists." 
ATTENDANCE OF CHURCH-MEMBERS. 
" It is important that the members 
of our churches should attend our 
camp-meetings. The enemies of truth 
are many ; and because our numbers 
are few, we should present as strong 
a front as possible. Individually you 
need the benefits of the meeting, and 
God calls upon you to number one in 
the ranks of truth." 
" Some will say, It is expensive to 
travel, and it would be better for us to 
save the money, and give it for the 
advancement of the work where it is 
much needed.' Do not reason in this 
way ; God calls upon you to take your 
place among the rank and file of his 
people. Strengthen the meeting all 
you possibly can by being present 
with your families. Put forth extra 
exertion to attend the gathering of 
God's people. 
" Brethren and sisters, it would be 
far better for you to let your business 
suffer than to neglect the opportunity of 
hearing the message God has for you. 
Make no excuse that will keep you 
from gaining every spiritual advantage 
possible. You need every ray of light. 
You need to become qualified to give 
a reason of the hope that is in you 
with meekness and fear. You can 
not afford to lose one such privilege. 
" Anciently the Lord instructed his 
people to assemble three times a year 
for his worship. To these holy con-
vocations the children of Israel came, 
bringing to the house of God their 
tithes, their sin-offerings, and their 
offerings of gratitude. They met to 
recount God's mercies, to make known 
his wonderful works, and to offer 
praise and thanksgiving to his name. 
And they were to unite in the sacri-
ficial service which pointed to Christ 
as the Lamb of God that taketh away 
the sin of the world. Thus they were 
to be preserved from the corrupting 
power of worldliness and idolatry. 
Faith and love and gratitude were 
kept alive in their hearts, and through 
their association together in this sa-
cred service they were to be bound 
closer to God and to one another. 
" In the days of Christ these feasts 
were attended by multitudes of people 
from all lands ; and had they been 
kept as God intended, in the spirit of 
true worship, the light of truth might 
through them have been given to all 
the nations of the world. 
" With those who lived at a distance 
from the tabernacle, more than a 
month of every year must have been 
occupied in attendance upon these 
holy convocations. The Lord saw 
that these gatherings were necessary 
for the spiritual life of his people. 
They needed to turn away from their 
worldly cares, to commune with God 
and to contemplate unseen realities. 
" If the children of Israel needed 
the benefit of these holy convocations 
in their time, how much more do we 
need them in these last days of peril 
and conflict! And if the people of 
the world then needed the light which 
God had committed to his church, 
how much more do we need it now. 
" This is a time for every one to 
come up to the help of the Lord, to 
the help of the Lord against the 
mighty. The forces of the enemy are 
strengthening, and as a people we are 
misrepresented. We desire the peo-
ple to become acquainted with our 
doctrines and work. We want them 
to know what we are and what we be-
lieve. We must find our way to their 
hearts. Let the army of the Lord be 
on the ground to represent the work 
and cause of God. Do not plead an 
excuse. The Lord has need of you. 
He does not do his work without the 
cooperation of the human agent. Go 
to the camp-meeting, even though you 
have to make a sacrifice to do so. Go 
with a will to work. And make every 
effort to induce your friends to go, not 
in your place, but to go with you, to 
stand on the Lord's side, and obey his 
commandments. Help those who are 
interested to attend, if necessary pro-
viding them with food and lodging. 
Angels who are commissioned to min-
ister to those who are heirs of salva-
tion will accompany you. God will 
do great things for his people. He 
will bless every effort to honor his 
cause and advance his work." 
PREPARATORY WORK. 
" In order for us to fulfill God's 
purpose, there is a preparatory work 
to be done. The Lord bids us empty 
our hearts of the selfishness which is 
the root •of alienation. He longs to 
pour upon us his Holy Spirit in rich 
measure, and he bids us clear the way 
by self-renunciation." " The success 
of the meeting depends on the pres-
ence and power of the Holy Spirit." 
" As far as lies in our power we are 
to remove every hindrance to his 
working. The Spirit can never be �
3 
poured out while variance and bitter-
ness toward one another are cherished 
by the members of the church." 
FOOD AND CLOTHING. 
" Some suffer through extra labor 
in preparing for camp-meeting. Some 
make large provisions, and are thor-
oughly wearied out when they come 
to the meeting, and as soon as they 
are released from the pressure of the 
work, exhausted nature causes them 
to feel that she has been abused. 
Now these mistake in making so great 
preparation. Nothing should be taken 
to camp-meeting except the most 
Iwo 
healthful articles, cooked in a simple 
manner, free from all spices and 
grease. 
" I am convinced that none need 
to make themselves sick preparing for 
camp-meeting, if they observe the 
laws of health in their cooking. If 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER �
(s) 333 
they make no cake or pies, but cook 
simple graham bread, and depend on 
fruit, canned or dried, they need not 
get sick in preparing for the meeting, 
and they need not be sick while at the 
meeting. 
" If they clothe themselves prop-
erly in the chill of the morning and 
night, and are particular to vary their 
clothing according to the changing 
weather, so as to preserve proper 
circulation, and strictly observe regu-
larity in sleeping and in eating of sim-
ple food, taking nothing between 
meals, they need not'be sick. " 
BUSINESS MATTERS. 
As far as possible, our camp-meet-
ings should be wholly devoted to spir-
itual interests. They should not be 
made occasions for the transaction of 
business. " 
" Business matters should be at-
tended to by those specially appointed 
for this work. And as far as possible 
they should be brought before the 
people at some other time than the 
camp-meeting. Instruction in can-
vassing, Sabbath-school work, and in 
the details of tract and missionary 
work, should be given in the home 
churches, or in meetings specially ap-
pointed. The same principle applies 
to cooking-schools. While these are 
all right in their place, they should 
not occupy the time of our camp-
meeting. 
" The presidents of conferences 
and the ministers should give them-
selves to the spiritual interests of the 
people, and should therefore be ex-
cused from the mechanical labor at-
tendant upon the meeting." 
" In camp-meetings or tent efforts 
in or near the large cities, there 
should.be an abundance of ministerial 
help. In all our camp-meetings the 
ministerial force should be as strong 
as possible. " " In our large meet-
ings a variety of gifts is needed. 
Fresh capabilities should be brought 
into the work. " 
ALL SHOULD BE WORKERS. 
Read Ephesians 4,11-13. " This 
scripture presents a large program of 
work that may be brought into our 
camp-meetings. All these gifts are 
to be in exercise. " 
Properly conducted, the camp-
meeting is a school where pastors, 
elders, and deacons can learn to do 
more perfect, work for the Master. " 
" By engaging in work at the camp-
meeting, all may be learning how to 
work successfully in their home 
churches. " 
" None of us should go to the camp= 
meeting depending on the ministers 
or the Bible workers to make the 
meeting a blessing to us. " " Each 
one should feel that in a measure the 
success of the meeting depends upon 
him. "

ARE YOU DOING WHAT GOD WANTS 
YOU TO DO? 
THERE are so many people going 
through life dissatisfied. They do not 
seem to know certainly that they are 
in the place where God wants them to 
be. 
God has a plain, individual path 
marked out for you, and the most 
wonderful part of it is, no one can 
walk in it acceptably but yourself. 
God is so wonderfully infinite that 
every other individual has an individ-
ual path as well as you, thus they 
would have to leave theirs to go in 
yours. The Lord expects every one 
of us to come directly to him for guid-
ance continually. " Man deviseth his 
way, but the Lord directeth his steps." 
The only way that we can learn the 
steps in our individual way is to pray. 
Pray not once or twice, but until we 
know. With knowing comes a sweet 
satisfaction which must be experienced 
to be appreciated. " Thou winnow-
est my path." Psa. 139: 3 (margin). 
We can not all do the same thing, 
but we can all work for God. The 
Lord hath need of us all. He does 
not cast off people because they are 
sick. Even sick people can work for 
God. He can make use of the sick-
ness. Every one of us will be glad of 
a reward by and by when Jesus 
comes. The reward then will be ac-
cording as our work shall be. 
God does not forget us. Let us 
not forget him by failing to do that 
which he has appointed for us to do. 
If you need wisdom, ask of him.

THE time of our annual convention 
is almost due again. It is quite prob-
able, also, that all our people do not 
have access to the Testimonies (a 
thing to be regretted), therefore it 
would be an opportune time, now be-
fore July thirty-first, to appoint a time 
to acquaint all Sabbath-keepers in the 
State with what Number 34 says upon 
the subject of " Camp-meetings." 
We are quite certain that a very 
different opinion would exist in the 
minds of the indifferent, if they could 
know how important it is that we at-
tend these yearly feasts, even though 
at a sacrifice, financially. We take it 
for granted that church elders, Sab-
bath-school superintendents, and other 
officers in our churches have these 
valuable accessories to their spiritual 
development. �
Therefore let t h e

the valuable chapter in one of your

in his church or company, for all 
should have this specific instruction.

MRS. LEE S. WHEELER. 
HOW TO WIN SOULS. 
WHAT is the best method of soul 
winning ?—The way which in the long 
run, and in the truest sense, accom-
plishes the most. The apostolic meth-
ods are par excellence. When has the 
church won its way against such odds 
so quickly and so enduringly as dur-
ing t h e early years ? In its way 
of winning t h e purchase of Cal-
vary it should be our model to-day. 
The great need of the hour is a broad-
cast evangelism. We must sow be-
side all waters. The disciples of old 
went everywhere preaching the Word, 
—in the market or in the synagogue, 
by the riverside or in the jail,in the char-
iot on a desert road or in a dwelling, in 
open air or under cover, before a select 
few or before a raging mob, whether in-
vited to speak or standing on trial, 
whether with hands holding the "roll " 
or bound with chains,—they were in-
stant in season and out of season. If 
ever Christians made it their business 
to witness for Christ, it was then. It 
was a house-to-house evangelism,—
"breaking bread from house to house." 
Thus must we do to give the last 
warning message. Let us get back to 
the place from whence we started. 0, 
church of Christ, arise, arise! Put 
away sin. Give up your idols. Our 
gospel message begins with " Go." 
Stop waiting for souls to come to the 
church, and go to them. 0, for a 
broadcast evangelism, a wholesale dis-
tribution of literature by scores of can-
vassers, a going from house to house 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
by Bible workers, Sabbath-school 
teachers, leaders of churches, and the 
laity generally, a gathering in in the 
Young People's Societies and in cot-
tage p'rayer-meetings ! The fisher 
must go to the fish. That was the 
method of the reformers of the past 
whom God blessed. 
What we want is an evangelism, face 
to face, heart to heart, eye to eye, 
friend to friend, brother to brother, 
parent to child, chum to chum, room-
mate to roommate, associate to associ-
ate. We are swordsmen. The sword 
is not thrown ; instead, it is used at 
close quarters, shoulder to shoulder, 
shield against shield. In short, it is 
individual work for individuals. When 
we get back to that good, old, apostolic 
method, we shall be surprised at our 
conquests. If ever a church could 
say, " Not by might, nor by power," 
but by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts, 
it was the early church. Its success 
was not in excellency of speech, but in 
demonstration of the Spirit and in 
power. It worked according to the 
working of that power that worked in 
it mightily. Its strength was dy-
namic ; its equipment was the power 
of the Holy Ghost; its workers, men 
of the Holy Ghost ; its life, the en-
thusiasm of the Holy Ghost ; its words, 
the message of the Holy Ghost ; its fel-
lowship, the bonds of the Holy Ghost. 
It was truly a Spirit-filled, Spirit-
governed, Spirit-led church. We can 
win victories, not in the energy of the 
flesh, but in the hidden, mysterious 
energies of the Spirit of God. God 
help us to be a pentecostal church. 
Again, the apostolic church was a 
praying evangelism. It was born in 
prayer and was rocked to the cadence 
of prayer ; it grew up on the inspira-
tion of prayer and marched to victory 
to the rhythm of prayer. What prayer-
meetings they had,—in the upper 
room; daily, from house to house; when 
Peter and John were before the coun-
cil ; when Peter was in prison ; when 
Paul and Barnabas were ordained mis-
sionaries ; when Paul appointed elders 
(7) 335 
in every church ; when upon the shore 
he bade farewell to the elders at Eph-
esus, and also to the saints at Tyre. 
There were prayer-meetings in the 
churches during Paul's absence to 
help him on the way with their 
prayers. And what praying evangel-
ists there were,--Peter and John going 
to the temple at the hour of prayer, 
Peter on the house-top, Saul and An-
anias at Damascus, Peter in the home 
of Dorcas, Paul and Silas in prison. 
The church worked in an atmosphere 
of prayer. It was warmed with the 
fervency of prayer, was uplifted on the 
wings of prayer, and triumphed in the 
power of prayer. When our churches, 
the conference, and every individual 
is imbued with the spirit of prayer as 
was the church of the first century, 
we shall see more of its triumphs.

The FIELD 
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. 
AT our general meeting it was de-
cided that I should remain in this 
city with a tent this season. After 
looking around for two days, we found 
a favorable place at the corner of 
Cedar Street and First Avenue in the 
north part of the city, called Hamp-
den. It is easy to reach from all parts 
of the city. 
We put up our tent (40 x 60) two 
weeks ago. The meetings have been 
fairly well attended, but the weather 
has been very unfavorable, very damp 
and cool. 
The people seemed somewhat afraid 
of us at the first, but yet would allow 
their children to come. We tried to 
interest them in singing and telling 
them of the Saviour. Soon the older 
ones began to come. I find it is 
more difficult to get at the people in 
large cities than in smaller places. 
There are so many teachers holding 
meetings that are not consistent, that 
many have lost their confidence, thus 
making it almost impossible to get 
336 (8) 
their attention. If you can once get 
them to come, then there is no 
trouble ; for many are searching for 
truth. 
One might hold tent meetings here 
in this city for years, and then not 
cover the ground. There are nearly 
six hundred thousand people covering 
a large territory. The question comes 
How are we going to reach, them all 
in so short a time ? 
We have two churches here already, 
and some of their number are trying 
to do all they can in selling Signs and 
other reading matter. I believe the 
time has come for a forward move-
ment toward the large cities where 
the millions are located. The Spirit 
of God tells us the large cities first, 
then smaller places. I find in my ex-
perience that it is harder to get at the 
people now than it used to be. 
Let us bear the banner to the strong-
holds. Let it float in the breeze, that 
all may see the truth. Let the stan-
dard-bearers be brave, planting the 
banner of our Master even on the 
forts of the enemy. Let all the peo-
ple join in one prayer, and let it come 
up as sweet incense before God, that 
power may be given the workers all 
along the line. 
Elder H. C. Basney is with me. 
We ask the prayers of all the people 
that God may work a great work 
through us this season.

READING, PA. 
WE started our tent services on last 
Thursday evening with a good attend-
ance. The Lord came into this first 
service with power, and impressed the 
word. All seemed well pleased with 
what they heard. The next evening 
the attendance was considerably 
larger ; but on Saturday, being gen-
erally a poor evening, the congrega-
tion was not so large. Last evening 
(Sunday), on account of the rain, the 
meeting was small also. We hope 
and pray that the Lord may give us

nice weather during this week, so we 
can stir up the necessary interest. 
There are many dear, honest souls in 
Reading that we desire to reach. We 
hope our brethren and sisters will pray 
earnestly for the tent efforts through-
out the State, so that the honest in 
heart may be sought out. We are of 
good courage in the Lord. We be-
lieve that we will have a strong inter-
est and effort here.

A GOOD FOURTH OF JULY. 
THE special meetings for the Boston 
field were held according to appoint-
ment in the grove on our sanitarium 
property at Melrose, Mass., Sabbath, 
July 4. It was a beautiful day, and a 
most favorable place for the services ; 
and we were made glad by seeing, at 
an early hour, about two hundred of 
our brethren and sisters, representing 
the churches of Boston, Brockton, 
Beverly, Danvers, Lynn, Lowell, and 
South Lancaster. 
Our brethren at the sanitarium had 
prepared seats in the grove, and had 
built a nice platform furnished with a 
good organ. Brother Whitford, who 
has recently opened a livery for the 
sanitarium, furnished free transporta-
tion from the trains to the ground, 
and back again after the meeting. 
A generous program had been ar- 
ranged, which was carried out fully. 
The topic for the morning service was, 
" The Difference Between National 
and Christian Liberty." Elder Rus-
sell made the opening speech on this 
subject, and was followed by Elder 
Peter M. Howe and the writer. Then 
followed a lively social service in 
which many 'took part. The burden 
of the testimonies seemed to be thank-
fulness to God for the beautiful day, 
for the inspiring surroundings, for the 
good meeting in nature's temple, away 
from the noise of the city's celebration. 
With some it was an expression of an 
individual " declaration of independ-
ence " from the bondage of sin 
through Jesus Christ. Good com-
parisons were drawn between earthly 
governments and the government of 
God ; between this nation's memorial 
and the memorial of the living God. 
While the fourth of July stands as a 
memorial of the founding of the 
United States, the Sabbath of the 
Lord is a memorial of the founding of 
the heavens and the earth. And not 
simply so, but it is a sign of that 
power which actually redeems the 
world, and all its inhabitants who will 
believe, and sanctifies them for un-
selfish service. 
Some expressed a thankfulness that 
they could celebrate the fourth of 
July this year " according to God's 
commandment." But space will for-
bid my telling all the many interest-
ing lessons found and expressed, and 
so we will close with this one which 
was indeed very appropriate, " Lord, 
it is good for us to be here." One 
dear, aged sister exclaimed, " I wish 
we might stay here and make three 
tabernacles." 
At the close of the social service 
lunch was served ; and while it was a 
national holiday, and it might have 
been said that we were having a pic-
nic in the woods, I am pleased to 
state that there was a commendable 
degree of Christian decorum, in keep-
ing with holy time. 
At 2 : 30 P.M., all came together for 
the afternoon program, the first part 
of which was the reading of the ap-
peal from Sister White for the work 
in Australasia, followed by the taking 
of a collection which amounted to 
forty-nine dollars in cash, and a one-
dollar pledge. 
. The remaining time was given 
largely to the children, and the exer-
cises were, to quite an extent, nature 
studies in the form of songs, readings, 
and recitations by members of the 
Sabbath-schools from the a b o v e-
named churches. All were of interest, 
and were well rendered. A synopsis 
of the good things in this portion of 
the program would doubtless be of in-
terest to the readers of the GLEANER, 
and it may be given later. I was im-
pressed with one little boy's story of 
how the " grumblebee " became a 
" humblebee." If the little boy will 
send his piece to the GLEANER, per-
haps the editor will have it printed, so 
that more may get the important les-
son taught. 
It was about five o'clock when we 
closed the services, and though we 
had been together so long, no one 
seemed to complain of being tired; 
but several were heard to say in sub-
stance, " This is the best fourth of 
July I ever enjoyed; it is a foretaste 
of the good time we will soon have in 
the green fields over yonder." May 
the Lord fit us to enjoy them, is my 
prayer. 
A. E. PLACE. 
WESTERLY, R. I. 
FOR many reasons there was an un-
usual amount of work necessary here 
before getting the tent ready for meet- 
ings. Then, too, we were delayed by 
Oa, the sickness of Sister Clark, and the 
sad death of Elder Clark, taking 
Brother and Sister Clark away from 
us for a little time. 
Owing to these things, we did not 
begin meetings in the tent until -Sun-
day evening, June 28. Prior to this, 
I had already spoken five times in 
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
halls since coming to Westerly. Sun-
day evening the tent was well filled, 
and nearly a hundred stood and lis-
tened on the outside. It was one of 
the most quiet and most successful 
meetings I ever saw for a first meet-
ing in a tent. 
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings 
our audiences numbered from one 
hundred to one hundred and fifty, and 
the very best of attention was given 
to the word spoken. 
Wednesday night there began a 
pest of mosquitoes, such as I have 
never seen equaled in a tent, not even 
in New Jersey, the native home of the 
troublesome little insect. The people 
were kept constantly fanning and 
brushing, and then they were badly 
bitten. This, together with the ex-
cessive heat, kept many away last 
night, though those present enjoyed 
one of the best services yet. After 
the service last night, the under side 
of the tent was literally black with 
mosquitoes. People said they never 
saw such a sight before. Brother and 
Sister Clark, who stay in the tent on 
the ground, have been driven to the 
refuge of anointing themselves with 
oil of pennyroyal to drive them away. 
If they continue as at present the 
mosquitoes are the most serious prob-
lem we have to face here. But still, 
we know that God is back of all 
these things, and he can and will 
give us victory. 
A florist donated to us the use for 
the summer of a whole load of potted 
plants. These with the brilliant 
lights make our tent look very inviting. 
I have given the papers a brief 
resume of each talk given, and so far, 
they have published them as handed 
in. �
Under these circumstances, judg- 
ing by the interest manifested, and 
the very favorable comments we hear, 
were it not for the mosquito pest to 
keep people away, we think the tent 
would soon be full each night. 
The tent company are all well and 
all of good courage. They unite 
with me in earnestly asking the pray- 
(9) 337 
ers of all God's people for the work 
here. I should not forget to say that 
the presence of Brother Whittier with • 
us for a few days was a great help to 
us in getting started.

VIRGINIA CONFERENCE AND CAMP-
MEETING. 
THE twentieth annual session of 
the Virginia Conference of Seventh-
day Adventists will be held in con-
nection with the camp-meeting at 
Wellington, Virginia, July 31 to Au-
gust 10, 1903. The first meeting of 
the session will be held Sunday, 
August '2, 1903, at 9 A.M. 
Each 
church is entitled to one delegate for 
the organization, and one additional 
delegate for each ten members. The 
members of the executive committee 
are members of the conference ex-
officio, and all accredited ministers of 
this conference and any member who 
may be present of the executive com-
mittee of the Atlantic Union Confer-
ence, and of the executive committee 
of the General Conference, are dele-
gates at large. 
RAILROAD RATES. 
Reduced rates have been secured 
over the Southern, Chesapeake and 
Ohio, and Norfolk and Western rail-
roads, as follows : The Southern will 
sell round-trip tickets from Washing-
ton, Danville, Harrisonburg, Front 
Royal, Warrenton, and intermediate 
points to Wellington, good going July 
30 to August 9 inclusive, limited to 
return August 11. The Chesapeake 
and Ohio will sell tickets on the card-
order plan from stations on their line 
in the State of Virginia, tickets to be 
sold to Manassas, on any date July 30 
to August 9 inclusive, final limit to 
return August 11. Those coming on 
the Chesapeake and Ohio will have 
to change at Manassas, six miles 
from Wellington, and buy tickets 
over the Southern road to the camp, 
and also have their baggage re- 
338 (lo) �
ATLANTIC UNION GLEANER 
checked. All who will come over 
the Chesapeake and Ohio will have 
to have cards to secure tickets. These 
cards will be furnished free to all who 
apply for them to Dr. A. M. Neff, 
New Market, Va. The Norfolk and 
Western will sell round-trip tickets 
on their line from Buena Vista, Basic, 
Port Republic, Elkton, Stanley, Lu-
ray, and Ryleyville, to Riverton, good 
going July 30 to August 4, and good 
to return August 12. Those coming 
over the Norfolk and Western to 
Riverton will then buy round-trip 
tickets over the Southern at -River-
ton to Wellington, and will have to 
have baggage rechecked.' The rate 
over all these roads will be about a 
fare and a third for the round trip. 
Be sure to make inquiries of the 
agents before starting, so that tickets 
may be secured promptly and every-
thing be understood. 
HOW TO REACH THE GROUNDS. 
All coming on the Southern Rail-
road from Washington, Harrisonburg, 
and intermediate points, can take 
trains that will carry them through to 
the camp without change. Those 
coming on the Southern between Dan-
ville and Manassas will have to 
change at Manassas for Wellington. 
Those coming over the Chesapeake 
and Ohio will have to change at 
Manassas. Those coming over the 
Norfolk and Western will have to 
change at Riverton. The camp will 
be right at the depot, and cost for 
transportation of baggage will be very 
small. All freights and express 
should be sent to Wellington. All 
tents should reach the grounds by' 
July 27. 
RENT OF TENTS, LUMBER, ETC. 
Tents, with flies, will rent for $2.50 
and $3.00 for the time of the meet-
ing. We may have several tents 
without flies that will rent for $2.00. 
Lumber will be extra and will rent, 
as heretofore, as cheap as can be fur-
nished. Double bed-springs will rent 
for sixty cents, single cots for forty 
cents : chairs for ten cents apiece or 
three for twenty-five cents. We can 
not furnish bedsteads or mattresses. 
All will have to bring bedticks and 
plenty of bedding. We will have 
straw for ticks at the usual price. All 
can bring bedding as baggage with-
out extra cost. All who come, unless 
other provision has been made, 
should come to care for themselves. 
After providing for the visiting min-
isters the conference will have about 
all they can do. The conference ex-
pect to run a dining-hall where meals 
will be served twice a day to all who 
wish to board, at reasonable rates. 
Groceries and fresh vegetables and 
fruits can be obtained at the grounds 
at market prices. Pasture for horses 
can be secured for ten cents a head 
per day. 
WHO TO ORDER FROM. 
All orders for tents, lumber, bed-
springs, or anything enumerated above 
should be made to Dr. A. M. Neff, 
Secretary of the Conference, New 
Market, Virginia. As we are expect-
ing a large attendance of our people, 
all orders should be sent in at once, 
so that we may avoid confusion and 
disappointment when our people 
reach the grounds. As we will be 
some distance from the city, we can 
not secure many of the things enumer-
ated at short notice. Let all make 
their order at once. 
For any further information write 
to Dr. A. M. Neff, or the writer, at 
New Market, Va. We will be glad 
to do all in our power for our people, 
and trust that this may be the best 
meeting ever held in the State. Pre-
serve this number of the GLEANER 
for reference. �

EDUCATIONAL 
OUR ACADEMY AND 
CHURCH-SCHOOLS 
HARTLAND, VT. 
THE regular work of the Hartland 
church school closed on Friday, June 
19. The following Tuesday the 
church and school united in spending 
a holiday among scenes of God's own 
making. 
Quechee Gulch, about four miles 
distant, was chosen as the place for 
the outing, and from different direc-
tions the company assembled near the 
bridge which spans this chasm. 
Here one hundred and sixty feet be-
low, between two walls of rock, wild 
and rugged in appearance, yet cov-
ered with green trees, fresh moss, and 
delicate flowers, rush the waters of 
the river which gives the place its 
name. 
Some of the party descended the 
bank, and walked along on the stones 
by the stream to obtain a better view 
of the grandeur and beauty of the 
scene above and all around. It was 
restful and refreshing to get so near 
to God as we could feel ourselves to 
be there, where we saw his work on 
every side. 
The day was cool, but about noon 
the company found a warm shelter 
from the wind in a beautiful pine 
grove near the river. 
A heavy farm wagon, bright with 
new paint, made a convenient table 
from which the food was served to the 
people seated in groups around. 
Later, it served as a rostrum, when 
the children gathered again with the 
older ones for the literary exercises. 
Singing and prayer, a scripture 
reading from Ecclesiastes 3, and 
Isaiah 35, recitations and papers re-
lating to health and temperance, with 
others in which sweet thoughts of God 
and his works were intermingled, 
made up the program for the after-
noon. 
ATLANTIC UNION CLEANER �
(ii) 339 
It was a long-to-be-remembered day 
of intercourse with Christian friends 
and communion with the Author of 
all good and beauty ; and at the 
weekly prayer-meeting held that night 
after our return, we recounted the 
goodness of God as we had seen it 
iv anew. 
When we stand on the edge of a 
cliff and look below, we can see how 
near we are to harm, yet dangers are 
often more to be feared if out of sight ; 
so we felt to thank God, not only for 
protection from accident that day, but 
for his guidance and care so plainly 
seen to be over our loved church 
school from its beginning, preserving 
through dangers seen and unseen. 
To him be all the praise. 
We thank God that the .church-
school work is onward, and that, now 
in our State, three companies of God's 
people are bearing the burdens, and 
receiving the blessings connected with 
this service. Brethren and sisters all 
over the conference, what does God 
call upon you to do in this work ? 
It is very encouraging to us here to 
come to the end of another term, and 
find our financial condition so favor-
able. The tuition alone does not pay 
expenses, but ten copies of that most 
excellent 'book, " Education, " have 
been taken by those interested in the 
school, the profits going toward its 
support ; donations have been made; 
something has come in from the 
school garden ; and now we are free 
from debt, with a little left in the 
school treasury besides. 
Our schoolhouse stands on a hill, a 
witness near and far to God's truth. 
The upper part is not yet finished, 
meetings being still held in the school-
room below ; but we feel confident that 
he will yet provide means for the 
completion of the building. 
Acknowledging his help in the past, 
we feel to " thank God, and take 
courage."

THE RELATION OF THE MEDICAL WORK 
TO THE MESSAGE.* 
( Continued.) 
As A result of ignorance and sin, 
the world is fast plunging into a state 
of degeneracy and despair. There 
were over eight thousand suicides in 
the United States during the past 
year ; a greater destruction of life than 
has been caused by the entire Philip-
pine war, either from battle, sickness, 
or accident, and yet a destruction of 
life which was self-imposed ; because 
the victims through ignorance and 
sin found themselves without health, 
and without the hope of God in the 
world. During the last fifty years, 
insanity, which is often worse than 
death, has increased over three hun-
dred per cent, a fact which would be 
simply appalling if we believed that 
time was going to allow this rate of 
increase to continue. Tuberculosis 
is sweeping like a great plague over 
the entire civilized world. Vice and 
drunkenness stalk through the land, 
claiming victims from every rank of 
society, making widows and orphans, 
and leaving behind nothing but a train 
of woe and misery, and souls that are 
in the darkness of despair. What is 
our duty to this dying world ? When 
we appreciate that all of this misery 
and suffering is the result of ignorance 
of right principles ; principles which, 
though apparently of little conse-
quence, lead toward God's way and 
his saving health, instead of death 
and decay, we can hardly be satisfied 
with knowing that we and our own 
families are on the right path to 
safety. We must have a burden for 
those who are going in the path of 
destruction. 
I recently heard the story of a 
*Paper read at a New England Conference 
workers' convention. 
French general who found himself, 
with hundreds of others, in a burning 
theater. By heroic efforts, he managed 
to escape, badly burned. What did 
he do ? go home to have his own 
wounds dressed, congratulating him-
self upon his escape ?—Not at all. 
Plunging into a pool of water to ex-
tinguish the fire in his clothing, he 
immediately returned to the burning 
building to carry out helpless women 
and children. Again and again he 
returned, each time bringing with him 
some one whom he had saved from 
suffering and death. When at last 
further rescue was impossible, this 
brave man sank down overcome by 
his own pains and exhaustion. He 
gave his life to save others from the 
suffering and death which threatened 
them. Do not we, to whom so much 
light has come, owe a duty of service 
and sacrifice to the perishing millions 
about us ? 
The last message of God's saving 
grace has been sent to this dying 
world, and in view of the physical de-
cay and degeneracy in which the world 
at this time is involved, how fitting it 
is that this last message should con-
tain instruction which is intended to 
make known to men God's way and 
his saving health. 
If the Lord has given us special 
principles and special methods for the 
treatment of the sick which he wishes 
demonstrated to the world, surely he 
designs his own people to use them ; 
hence our sanitariums are established, 
that those who are sick among us may 
be treated according to the light and 
principles which the Lord has given 
to us. Just as our educational insti-
tutions, which are designed for the 
education of our children after right 
methods and according to right prin-
ciples, ought to be patronized by our 
people, so those who are sick among 
us ought to be treated in our own in-
stitutions, where the principles which 
the Lord has indicated may be carried 
out. 
We sometimes hear it said that

many of the same principles of treat-
ment which we have, are carried out 
in worldly institutions and hospitals, 
and that after all the treatment is not 
so very different from our sanitariums, 
and of course it is much cheaper. The 
same thing is often said in reference 
to our schools. The methods in our 
public schools are many of them good. 
The appliances are often in advance 
of our own, and the expense is little 
or nothing ; but we know the real 
spirit of the education in worldly 
schools is wrong, and is dangerous for 
our children. In the same way we 
can not afford to patronize worldly 
medical institutions, with all their 
elegant equipment, so long as they are 
conducted on wrong principles. 
Our people need to be thoroughly 
educated on this line. �
There is still 
a tendency to follow, not simply 
worldly physicians, but even quacks, 
and charlatans. A few days ago, a 
sister who had been long in the truth 
called at the sanitarium. Upon in-
quiry, I found that for sometime she 
had been under the treatment of a 
man whose notorious claims are seen 
in The daily newspapers, and by which 
she had been attracted to him. In 
order to secure her confidence, he had 
examined her by his " wonderful X-ray 
machine," with which he could, ac-
cording to his statements, see the dis-
arrangement of nerves, and blood 
vessels, the congested condition of her 
stomach, and various other important 
discoveries, which it is manifestly im-
possible for any one to determine in 
that way. It was simply a gross im-
position on the good sister's credulity. 
Whatever his method of treatment 
may have been, his method of making 
a diagnosis was a deception, and a 
man who will deceive in diagnosis, 
is not to be trusted in treatment. Our 
sanitariums were intended for places 
where our own people could, not only 
be treated in safety, and without the 
use of poisonous drugs, but where 
they could be conscientiously taught 
the cause of their sickness, and the 
principles of God's saving health. 
Our people ought to be encouraged 
and educated to patronize our medical 
institutions.

there are many persons in this confer-

they should enter the field as canvass-

One reason, I think, why many

is that they fear they will not be able

ception such failures can be traced to 
causes, the remedy for which was 
within the reach of the canvasser him-
self. In most cases the cause has 
been lack of thorough, systematic 
effort. The experience of others with 
no greater natural ability has demon-
strated that the canvassing work can 
be made successful with the same 
application and perseverance that is 
required to make a success of anything 
else. This should inspire in others 
the confidence that the same diligence 
on their part will produce the same 
result. Not only so, but we have 
ATLANTIC UNION OLEANEI? 
promises of that divine assistance 
which can not fail to bring success 
when we do our part. 
Here is something the people of 
eastern Pennsylvania ought to con-
sider : We have not had for a long 
time, and probably never will have 
again, better conditions under which 
to perform this work than just now. 
The people in the great anthracite 
mining district have recovered from 
the effects' of the last strike, and .a 
feeling of confidence seems to prevail 
which renders them more willing to 
invest money in books ; work is abun-
.

dant, and wages are higher all through 
this end of the State than for a num-
ber of years in the past. I quote the 
following from a letter just received 
from a brother in Harrisburg : " This 
place and all the surrounding towns 
are in a full boom now. New shops 
are being built, new railroad yards, 
new bridge across the Susquehanna, 
new sewers being put in, streets being 
paved, and one thousand five hundred 
men being employed on the capital 
buildings. There is lots of good ter-
ritory around here for canvassers." 
Similar language might be used to 
describe conditions all through this 
conference. While passing through 
the mining district the other day, I 
was impressed with the bustling activ-
ity which was everywhere apparent. 
An air of prosperity seemed to per-
vade every city and town, evidenced 
by the crowds of shoppers on the 
streets, the rattle of machinery, the 
smoke ascending from furnaces and 
boilers, and the clouds of black dust 
floating out from the many coal-break-
ers which dot the landscape in all di-
rections. The people seem happy 
and cheerful, and in the right mood 
to buy. 
Surely now is the time to boom the 
sale of our literature in eastern Penn-
sylvania. Who will take hold with .us 
just now in this good work, and not 
only help to push the triumphs of the 
cross, but gain the best personal ex-
perience of their life in working for 
others ? There is no time to lose, for 
these conditions will not always last. 
Of course it is true that the success 
of our work does not depend wholly 
upon outward conditions ; yet it is 
also true that when conditions in the 
financial world are prosperous, the 
work can be accomplished with less 
effort than if it has to be done under 
more adverse circumstances. 
So let all those come who have a 
mind to work, and are willing to work

MISSIONARY CANVASSERS. 
" SINCE canvassing for our literature 
is a missionary work, it should be con-
ducted from a missionary standpoint. 
Those selected as canvassers should 
be men and women who feel the bur-
den of service, whose object is not to 
get gain, but to give light to the 
people. " 
No man or woman can hope to do 
effective service in the canvassing 
field who is not prompted by the high 
motives set forth in the above para-
graph. We have hoped for a long 
time to see a large number volunteer 
for this work. We still hope for it; 
but I verily believe we shall never see 
that hope realized until there is a re-
vival of the missionary spirit which 
characterized the early days of this 
message. 
The palmiest days the canvassing 
work has ever known, were not when 
times were at their best, nor when out-
ward conditions were the most favor-
able; but it was when the hearts of 
God's people were filled with an ear-
nest love for this message, and a holy 
zeal to give it speedily to the world. 
When that condition again prevails 
among this people, we shall see the 
canvassing work, the tract work, and 
every other branch of God's cause at, 
taining proportions we have never 
known before. And nothing else will 
ever bring it. Good times and pros-
perity have their influence, and should 
be taken advantage of, but they never 
can take the place of whole-souled 
zeal for the cause of God. 
The absence of this spirit is respon-
sible for the lack of courage which 
leads so many to doubt their ability to 
make the work successful. The faith 
and courage of Joshua and Gideon are 
needed now. Then there will not be 
so much hesitation about entering the 
work, nor so many who are willing to 
sell out their experience for some 
other occupation. It will not be nec-
essary for any one to do so then for 
financial reasons, for when a man is 
actuated by the spirit of the Master he 
will work as he worked, and then 
financial, as well as spiritual success 
is assured. The thing that is needed 
to straighten out the financial difficul-
ties in which so many canvassers have 
become involved, is not more of the 
spirit and principles of the book agent, 
but more of the spirit and principles 
of Jesus Christ which will lead a man 
to, not only be " fervent in spirit, " 
but also " diligent in business." 
I believe that a revival of this spirit 
has begun, and may God grant that 
it may continue to grow and spread 
until his people are thoroughly 
aroused to action, and we shall see a 
hundred where now there is one ha-
stening through the lanes and high-
ways with the last invitation to the 
" marriage supper of the Lamb. "

are asking for more publications ; and 
after they are read, they are passed 
on to others. This is the sowing 
time ; by and by will come the reap-
ing. 
—The children of this Sabbath-
school donated two dollars and fifteen 
cents last Sabbath, to be given to the 
Chicago mission to help in giving 
some of the slum children an outing 
on the fourth of July. I am sure that 
in making others happy these children 
will learn how it is more blessed to

Entered at South Lancaster, Mass,, as second-class matter. 
IN this number appears a selection 
from the Testimonies in regard to the 
importance of the camp-meetings, and 
the duty of all to attend them. 
Though the article was prepared espe-
cially for the Virginia brethren and sis-
ters, it would be well for all to read it, 
and consider it carefully. The camp-
meeting season is just before us, and 
these instructions are designed for all 
our people in whatever conference 
they are located. 
APPOINTMENT. 
I EXPECT to meet with the Wash-
ington, N. H., church, Sabbath, July 
11. There will be opportunity for 
baptism. 
A. E. PLACE. 
OUR CAMP-MEETINGS. 
THE camp-meeting season is just 
upon us. These meetings should be 
seasons of great refreshing to the peo-
ple of God. The Lord in his wisdom 
has entrusted to us as Seventh-day 
Adventists, the greatest gospel respon-
sibility that has ever been given into 
the hands of men and women in any 
age of the world. We need an indi-
vidual refreshing ; that our eyes may 
be opened, our understanding enlight-
ened, and our hearts tendered, that 
we may see, understand, and know 
more fully the responsibilities the 
ATLANTIC UNION °LEANER 
The presentation of this message is 
the preaching of the " everlasting gos-
pel." All gospel truths preached in 
ages past, culminate in the three-fold 
message of Rev. 14 : 6-14, which we 
are, under the Lord, bearing to all 
people. It is declared to be the 
" everlasting gospel." The message 
of the everlasting gospel will, there-
fore, continue to be preached until the 
gospel work is finished on earth. You 
will observe, that no gospel message 
can follow a gospel message which 
lasts forever. All truth being centered 
in the three-fold message that we are 
bearing to earth, the proper presenta-
tion of it, will usher in a new order of 
things. Why then should not each 
one humble his soul before God, and 
inquire of the Lord what part he will 
have him act in the finishing of his 
work in the earth. According to his 
own word, he will cause this work to 
be completed in the present Biblical 
generation. 
If he asks you to give service, ren-
der it. If he suggests to your soul, 
that you give of the abundance of the 
means over which he has made you 
steward, to convey his truth to those 
who know not of it; freely ye have 
received, freely give. 
The camp-meeting should do much 
for both your soul and mine. Begin 
now to seek the Lord for a deeper ex-
perience ; then bring the Spirit of 
Christ with you to camp-meeting. 
Elder Daniells, president of the 
General Conference, has arranged to 
atttend the Vermont, New- England, 
and Maine camp-meetings, and, if 
possible, the Virginia meeting. Elder 
Place will attend the Vermont meet-
ing. Elder Watt will attend the New 
England meeting, and Elder Franke 
the meeting in Maine. The writer 
will attend as many of the conference 
sessions as he can reach. Professor 
Griggs will be present at several of 
will be represented, perhaps, at every 
meeting.
