SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
AFTER THE HEATHENS

Members Of the Seventh day Adven
fist denomination in this city have beer
apprised OF movement that has beer
started toward organizing all the fal
Eastern lands into one division confer
ence similar to those in North America
and Europe, which would mean the co
operation of the local constituency in
increasing the funds of the whole Gen
eral Conference for missionary purposes
to between $500, 900 and $50 900, a year
The believers have cheerfully contrib
uted toward raising about 100000 for
foreign mission endeavor last year, and
they will gladly add their proportionate
increase in order to see the advent move
ment penetrate further into the dark
corners of the earth.
The local followers have been otified
that a petition has just recently been re-
ceived at the worlds headquarters of
the denomination, in Washington, D. c.,
from Shanghai, China, asking that ia
pan, Korea, Manchuria, China, Mon
golia, India, the Philippines, the Malay
Peninsula, Siam, Australia, the East In
dies, and other countries in the Orient,
be set off into what would be known as
the Asiatic Division, and that the con-
stituency in North America be asked to
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1915-08-05

give financial support to the plan to
extend the denomination in all these
places in a more organized way than
ever before
The plan, if adopted, would require the
sending out of a large number of min
listers, Bible workers, school teachers,
and other gospel laborers, as well as an
increase in the missionary appropria-
tions of 100000 a year over what it
was last year.
The petition asking that these plans
be made at the coming Fall council of
the General Conference was signed by
Elder A. G. Daniels, president of the
General Conference, who has been on q
tour among the mission stations of the
far East for the past year; r. G. Porter,
superintendent Of the Chinese, Japan
ese, and Philippine Island fields; j. E.
Fulton, president of the Australian
Union Conference, and H. r. Salisbury,
superintendent Of the India Union Mis-
sion.
Nearly all Of these teeming
millions are heaten, says the pc
tition. "They are intensely re-
ligious, but they grope in the dark
ness Of superstition and idolatry.
In many respects this is unques-
tionably the most difficult field
in the world to evangelize. But
this work, as great and as diff
cult as it is, must be done, and
Seventh-day Adventists have put
their hands to the task
In mentioning the pressing demands,
the petition urged that suitable places
of worship, where the ministers and
other gospel workers could be brought
together for instruction, encouragement,
and organization, be erected; that more
training schools be established, and
teachers sent out for the training of
young men and women who have &C.
cepted Christianity and are anxious to
carry the "good news' to their own
people, that printing plants be provided
where literature in the native languages
might be prepared for distribution.
The field now known as the Asiatic
Division, which includes China, Man
churia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines,
the India Union Mission, and Australia,
are operated separately. In asking that
all be united in one division, the petit
ton states there will be more efficiency
in administrative work if such were
the case.
The petitioners believe that by unit
ing these fields in one division the lead
ers can be united in one administration
body, which would enable them to hold
regular meetings for counsel regarding
their most difficult and perplexing
questions, and SO have the decisions Of
a larger and nose experienced body to
guide them in making requests to the
home mission board and in formulating
policies for local fields.

tBy C,bl. 10 The Tribunal

Paris, Sept. 12-The terms OF the
liquidation Of the account Of July, 1914,
finally have been agreed on and settle
ment has been fixed for September 30.
Much of the open account has been
taken up during the fourteen months
that have elapsed since the war began,
and the amount Of differences still out
standing is estimated at 100,000,000
francs. Where clients are unable 70
pay brokers will pay for them. Pri-
waite loans taken up by members of the
Bourse have already provided 100000
toward the sum needed for liquidation,
which will include both Bourse and
curb.
The market was fairly strong until
the end of the week, when 3 per cent
rentes fell 20 confines, to 6S.25 This
had n bad effect on the rest of the
market, with the exception of Russian
industrials, which improved on the news
that the Gar had taken command of
the armies and the Russian victories
which followed.
Copper shares benefited from the
increased price Of metal, Rio Tintos
gaining 10 francs and Utahs 3, but the
Increase was not fully sustained at the
end of the week. The Bank Of France
advanced 90 francs, the gold accretion
now amounting to 675000,000 francs.

the deaths were most numerous in those

inordinately long time to make slen,,
der point, cutting very precisely ana
regularly all the time, will usually
prove to be of an artistic and dreamy
disposition. The child who, regardless
of the look of the pencil, gouges out
great pieces in order to get TO the lead

Mere destructiveness, however, be-

delight in sticking his knife in his

in some other way.
Parents, watch your children when
sharpening their pencils and correct
