Important Services During the Day
The District Superintendent Ar
rived Yesterday.

OF he different p~aylions. The third
meeting of the conference was held in
the large pavilion at 8 O'Clock. The res
olution asking for the establishment Of
a mission among the Indians in this con-
ference called forth remarks from DR..
Butteroaugh of March, Elders Olsen and
Durland Of Michigan, Elder Schultz Of
Nebraska and others. The resolution
passed with an enthusiastic vote. A
large delegation Of Germans being pre-
sent the services OF Elder Schultz were
called into requisition as interpreter and
his benign countenance was seen on the
speakers stand az he explained in bis
mother tongue the meaning OF the var
ious resolutions offered. Thought that
the design of the resolution could be
best accomplished by Q Of medical
missionary work as the sanitary condi-
ton Of the Indian is largely neglected.
DR.. Paulson occupied the IL O'Clock
hour. The doctor seemed full OF energy
and enthusiasm as he continued his sub
ject.
The soul, body and spirit Of Gods peo-
pie will he found blameless at his coming
but this implies q work which we can
not do ourselves alone.
All the efficiency Of our work must
come from God, but all the responsible
ity rests upon us. Eph. 6:13.14. As in
the days Of Noah the ark andits inmates
were preserved only after they had done
their part in carrying out the Lords in
structions, so we cannot expect to
stand" in the trials that will come upon
US without shaving done ALL" 70 far as
lies in our power, to heed the Lords adj
monitions to us. We do many things
simply for the sake of the reward beyond,
but aver II there was no heaven yet it
would be we'll for us to heed the require
ments Of God, for every "thou shalt"
contains q blessing, and every ''thou
shalt not" 10 a shield to preserve us from
some evil. Unless heaven begins on
earth it will not begin over there; we
must walk with God here il we would
hereafter. The laws Of God are designed
to bring his people closer to himself.
All our ~sufferings in this world may be
traced to disobedience of Gods laws,
and all our happiness comes from obedl-
ence.
Sickness is due to violating the laws
Of health. God will not work a miracle
to save rs from our own course OF action,
but he shows us what our course of
action ought to be, and, then gives US
strength to walk in it.
The doctor called attention to the
organ and organist near by, and stated
that If the instrument should be ruined
by misuse, no matter how able or willing
the organist might be to make music she
could produce only discordant sounds.
And so when a person pursues q course
which skaters their nervous system
they cannot respond to the Heavenly
Musicians touch as they should, but
make only discords.
Elder G. E. Fitield followed with a few
pertinent remarks which served as
"clinchers."
The Adventists are doing a great deal
toward educating the people upon the
subject Of healthful living by publica-
tlons, public lectures and treatment in
their sanitariums. The sanitarium at
Battle Creek, Mich, is we'll known and
they have others of like nature in Cali
~fornia, Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado
and South Africa, with q medical mis-
sion in Mexico. They are also sending
medical missionaries Il various islands.
All missionaries in foreign fields are
treated free Of charge at these institu
tions. Another line of work closely
allied to the above is Christian help
work. The Adventists have agents,
Christian young men and women, con-
stantly at work in the slums of various
large cities like Chicago and New York
and thousands Of the poor and suffering
have been relieved by them and set in a
better way Of life. They have two medi-
cal missions in the worst places in Chi
caRo where they are trying to alleviate
the sufTerings of those who inhabit those
retreats. In these places cases are treat
ed with baths and medical and surgical
treatment free Of charge, at the same
time giving them kindly instructions
how to lead better lives.
Elder Durland, the superintendent of
the district comprising the states OF
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
the two Dakotas and Manitoba, arrived
on the grounds yesterday. He occupied
the afternoon hour, giving a timely dis.
course full OF warning and ~entreaty at
the close Of which an inquiry meeting
was held in q separate pavilion for those
who desired q closer union with Christ
Work horces for sale on time.
