THE COMMAND TO PEEACE

The Host Important and Thrilling Commission Ever Given to Man, Elder Lane's Discourse to the Seventh-Day Adventi8ta Work of the Tract and Missionary Society Daring the Last Year. ' The camo-meeting of tba Seventh-day AdYentistg proceeded as usual yesterday. In the way of bunioeas, nothing was done of interest to the public except a report by the Tract and Mislionary Society of Indiana. The following are Ibe more important statistics of tbe report: Number of missionary visits made, 6,594; Bible readings held, 2,405; missionary letters written, 1, 029; replies received. 499; pages of tracts and pampblets sold, loaned or Riven away, 1,745,521; periodicals sold, loaned or given away, 64,441. ' The appreciative audience that assembled to bear lder Lane and to welcome him upon his return from England were highly entertained by the sermon he delivered. The Elder stated. In opening, that although ha did not expect to present anything? ew as far as doctrinal points were concerned, he did hope to present some thought that might do some good. "In Matthew xxviii, 19, 20 is recorded," he said, "the 'Great Commission,' the most thrilling ever given to man. Notice that in introducing the commission the Savior says, verse 18, all power is given to me in heaven and in earth, and in view of this to ye into all the earth that is, from thia !ct teach ye all nations. Now, according to this, the truth is to be preached everywhere. This truth is not then national, bat international, and so we find that he who latches the real fire of this commission is willing l v. rPL. j j . w cw aujinum j.uo cause uemanus men VL earnestness, men who will not confine tbemlelves to narrow circles, but will have courage to branch out, speed away over the country and visit foreign lands to proclaim the grand truths. ' We who teach to you by voice, or pen, or press carry out the grand work of Jesus while He was if npon earth. I obtain this idea from the expression of our Lord, 'I command you.' Jesus was not only the world's educator, but also tbe greatest missionary the world has ever seen, and the same spirit that actuated Him should characterize ns, and we should have the same earnestness as did the Savior. He taught all classes; not - the highest exclusively, or simply the middle tlasaes, or the lower, but all classes. It is true that He taught Peter, James and John, fishermen, bnt with the same willingness He entered the house of the ruler whose daughter fell sick, and dined with Zaccheus, and with the same willing spirit with which He went to these, and to Jlary, and Martha, did He associate with all e'ansea. His disciples caught His spirit and car- , ried the truth in the same way that He did, carrying out even his method of preaching. We can study the same method, and if the spirit of Ood can accompany our labors, sooner or later our methods will be identical with those of Jesus. We may not see the results immediately, nor did; our Savior. There were only eleven true men as the result of His ministry. Would ministers feel encouraged now if, after laboring an equal length of time, they could see but eleven souls as the fruit of their labor? But did the eleven reoresent all Christ's work? Ob, no. Even the soldiers who were sent to arrest bim as they saw the peonle listening to the words of Jesus with eaeer ears, listened also, and their hearts were touched, and they let him alone, reporting to the rulers as their excuse, 'Never man spake as this man speaks.' Then Nicodemns arose and said, 'Dors oar Lord Judge a man before he is heard?' What caused itn to say that? Why, a few months before, on the moonlit mountain, he had had an interview with Jesus and the good seed was sown in his heart which, after tbe resurrection, brought forth fruit, and Nicodemns stood np boldly and confessed Jesus to be the Son of God. "As it was with Jesus, so it will be with us. We cannot always see the result We preach nd think that no good has been accomplished, but hereafter we wiH see sonls who listened to the truth we nroelaimed. and who owe to ns. next to Christ, their eternal salvation. Never become diseouraged. If we realize the character of our labor we will never get in that condition. "In John i, 29 we find John pointing out Jesus to his discinlea as the Messiah. The record of John's work is very brief, but we find that the next day after pointing out Jesus is the first record of his acknowledgement of Him as the Lamb of God. Behold the Lamb of God. No doubt John had talked with bis disciples about Him and a deep impression had been made npon their minds, and two of them followed him. How were they received? Jesus turner and said nnto them, what seek ye? How i rjfkly they answered, 'Rabbi, where dwellest tftou?' Jesus answered, 'Come and see,' and they went with bim and staid tbe whole day, it being then about 4 p. M. As Jesus continued to talk to them their hearts kindled with the same fire that burned in His breast, and the longer He talked the more fnlly they felt tbe spirit of God npon them. Had they been selfish they would have continued to lire with Jesus and listen as long as He would speak to them, but one of the two, filled with true missionary zeal, went and told Nathaniel, and the other went to work also. Tbe surest sign of true missionary spirit is to see any one becoming interested in others. And further, when the heart is touched the pocket-book ceases to be precious. If a believer In the truth does not know this is so. brethren, he has never been converted. This is plain talk but it is so." The speaker went on to show how the truth will spread abroad, even tinder very unfavorable circumstances, citing the case of Paul, in prison at Rome, converting many members of the King's household and even eonvinciog the King himself. He then spoke of tbe mail regulations of Russia, and how mail matter is treated in that empire. Every paper or published pace parses through the hands of an inspector, and if he detects anything he thinks derogatory or dangerous he blots it out with a sponge moistened witn a kind of black ink, so that it cannot be read, and then the paper is allowed to pass. There are many Jews in Russia, and they are very much disliked, consequently anything in a printed page in reference to the Sabbath is immediately blotted out but does that stop the work? Oh, no. There have been more conversions in Russia than in all the rest of Europe combined. No one can go there and preach as ministers do here. , It is unlawful; but a man can talk to six or eight persons, not more, if he aits down while talking. He can take the Bible and read as though talking to himself. So little companies will quietly assemble in this way, and at the end of the meeting will arrange to let other neighbors hear by staying away themselves, so that tbe nnmbr allowed bv law may not be exceeded. "Brethren," said Elder Lane, "there is not power enough on the earth to stop the advance of the truth. All we want to accompany it is the same spirit Jesus had. Paul speaks of the things happening to him as having fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gosDel that is, they were to prove a blessing to tbo gospel itself and in the end a blessing to Paul also. He could not preach to the housebold of Cuesar as I am doing to you, but in chains from prison be spoke the words to the servants of the- palace as they passed him. and these finally began to stand in its defense, and as a result Paul could write to the church at Philippi, 'All the saints (at Rome) salute yon, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.' We will meet circumstances of a very discouraging nature, but it is just as true as that the Bible is true, that the message for our days will make its way into the very best families on earth, no matter what opposes it." The Elder then narrated a story of a Mr. Armstrong, in England, who was and still is baker to Lord Yarborough, a very wealthy nobleman, owning fifteen miles square of farms, villages and cities, and upon whose estate the city of Grimsby is platted, the lord owning nearly very house. The baker heard the truth and began the observance of the Sabbath. He was discharged, and the bread purchased at Grimsby for the lord's household of seven hundred and fifty persons, but, being inferior in quality, the baker was reinstated. His willingness to sacrifice his livelihood rather than disobey God tailed the attention of the lord and his household to the truth, and the result is that so many are now interested in tbe truth that recently the nobleman said pleasantly to Mr. Armstrong that if he bid not banish him from the estate all his servants would eventually be keeping the babbath. "Truth," the Elder said, "does not make its way very fast in the world, because it involves Sacrifice in almost everything and every way; but there are honest hearts everywhere, and we ihonld not become discouraged, but make every ifTort to send our books and tracts to all nations, tn the old country good canvassers and Bible workers are more needed than ministers, balance they can penetrate to tbe homes of the people and will be well received, while a minister of any other denomination than the Church af England is looked npon as a dissenter and never receives invitations to visit people at their homes. Have faith, brethren. Continue to send out your traets, canvassers, Bible-readers and others. Select humble, God-fearing men

and women, and sow tbe seeds of truth everywhere. May God help us to prepare ourselves fully for the worK before ns."

KELIGIOtJS MATTERS. The Baptist State Convention The Showing , Made by the Reports Presented. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Pehu. Ind., Oct 6. Tbe Baptist convention met this morning at 10 o'clock. A telegram was read requesting the prayers of the convention on tbe death of a brother in the southern part of tbe State. The first report read was that on home missions, by Mr. Cannon. The report shows a grat ifying increase and a year of prosperity. The total amount of trust fund for year ending shows $532,314.57, a grand increase of $150,000 over the previous year. The report also shows that the society is in operation in forty-seven States and Territories; whole number added, 6.2S5; missions, 513; preaching, 1,385 times, with whole number employed 678. The eastern division numbers 18; northern, 82; southern, 140, with 495 in the western. There are also 6 in British Columbia, 91 in Mexico, and 2 in Alaska. Tbe different nationalities represented in the society are 10. Tbe mission schools number 673, with an attendance of 44,740; churches 125, the aid aegregated $10,118.05. The advance of Christianity is shown by the fact of the first Christian church being established in the City of Mexico. Indiana has 491 churches, and collected $2,182.61. The . report also - made mention regarding Edwin Ellis, who, work and aid, has to the people of Indiana. by his earnest endeared himself The report was an elaborate one. and most excellently presented. It aleo contains mention of the needs of this fund, $500,000 being the limit on mission work, $300,000 on edifice and others. The report was adopted. Mrs. Alexander Blackburn, of Lafayette, vice-president of the Woman's Missionary Society, made the following report: The total cash reeeiDts were $39,896.75, in goods the value being 144.478. 54. This society reaches forty State and Territories and different portions of the world. There are seventy-seven missionaries employed around the world, and Castle Garden, in New York city, boasts of two.one Swedish and one German. The Indiana report shows cash received, 91,300; goods. $400. The plan in this society is an . organized society in each chnrch, thence Oe State and national. Mention was also made regarding tbe baby fund, to become a member of which required the sum of 10 cents; in tbe life membership tbe fee is $25, and among tbe additions are Rose Jordan. Jennie Pritrber and Cornelia Rice. The article relating to tract influence, and most especially among children, received careful attention and discussion. Mr. Blackbuvn also stated that if the men would have a woman's patience in small things much more eonld be accomplished. Discussion ef the report was indulged in by Rev. G. E. Farr, W. B. Riley. Ellis Home and oth ers. Dr. Jeftery spoke concerning the congress to tre bald at Indianapolis, and a cordial invita tion wasextented to tbe convention to attend. TheL resolution offered and read regarding Iter. Attack burn s removal is as follows: Wherteas, Rev. Alex. Blackburn, who has been numbered among ns for nine years as a brother. be loved from the first and becoming dearer to us as the years or our fellowship have increased; and Whereas, Not only as pastor, but as president of this convention for years, and many more as member of the board, he has been so closely identified with ail the interests of our common work: and Whereas, He is about to remove from lis to a field of labor in another State, therefore, Resolved, That we desire formally to express to our brother our appreciation of loss at his removal from among ns, ox our affection for him as a brother in the Lord, and that we pledge him our prayers for his continued welfare in the kingdom of our Lord and bavior. Jesus Christ. A resolution was read regarding the action of Reverend Buchannan, of Indianapolis, in regard to toe divorce trouble, and recognition by certain churches after condemnation of the board. and the laws of Jesus Christ, and the sense of this convention condemned it. Adjourned for dinner. , ine convention opened at zp. m. witn a song 14 by Kev. eddell. bcriptural reading and prayer followed, the latter being offered by H. R. Todd, of CarrolL Then came a report upon foreign missions. A preamble of the report thanks God for prayers answered, and grateful acknowledgement for the good cause and work dene. One hundr&l souls were caved at Banza Mahteke. Tbe summary of men and women working for tbe good of the cause shows 2.500 who have gone away and are preaching. Franklin College sent eight during tbe past two years, five of them being women. Prayers were asked from churches for aid and support, and to liberally give. There are 248 missionaries, 1,730 homes, 9,342 baptisms; the foreign members number 23.530; the total amount raised for the year was $307,400; the amonnt raised in Indiana was $34,756. The paper makes a comparison of the falling off in the past ten years showing a decrease of big gifts, but this has been equalized by means of smaller amounts. Tbe gain for eleven months shows $1,000. All except lorty-four churches in tbe diocese of Indiana bare contributed to the fund. Tbe committee recommends that pastors of the different churches more stronglv urge the cause. The report of the Woman's foreign Missionary Society shows a rich and abundant harvest A gratifying increase is also shown in the Children's Band. The necessity of havine a secretary in each association in every church in the State is urged. There have been a few changes in the officers. The report shows that out of 233 churches there are ninety-two not contributing. Six life members were reported. A donation of $:500 to foreign missions was given by a lady of the Warsaw church. Tbe report states that some controversy exists regarding tbe contingent fund, some thinking it not necessary. In addition to tbe $1 fee now paid. 10 cents additional is to be asked, which will meet current expenses. There are also six life memberships of $150 each to be made. Southern Indiana 6hows $1,118.90 raised; the northern portion, $1,113.53. Fifteen per cent. in advance must be raised. Tbe report also shows six new missionaries and two who have been resting will be returned. Mrs. G. G. Manning, of Pern, vice-president of this society, read a supplementary paper on temple builders. Young men as well as young ladies may become members upon payment of $1. There are ten temples in northern Indiana, and ten in southern Indiana. The press is represented by G. P. Osburn and W. E. Powell, of the Journal and Messenger, Rev. Elgin of the Baptist, and Rev. Weddell of the Standard. The remainder of the afternoon exercises consisted of an address by Dr. Ashraore, of Burmah, who was followed by Mrs. Howe, of Chicago, who presented a report of her labors in foreign fields, and suggested many pertinent needs. Miss Thompson, of China, also spoke, being followed by Dr. Stimson. An amendment to tbe constitution was offered, and laid over to be discussed to-morrow. The evening's exercises consisted of magnificent singing by the quartet and addresses by Clevinger, Chaffee and Elgin on the Baptist interests in Indiana at the present hour. There was a magnificent audience, day and evening, and especially among the ladies, thia being their day. The Probation Question Once More. Springfield, Mass., Oct. 6. At to-day's session of the American Board of Commissioners for Missions, the committee on the Japanese mission reported and emphasized the danger, during the crisis in that country, of any one introducing ucscriptural speculation. An encouraging report was made on missions in papal lands. A majority report of the committe on the report of the homo secretary was presented by Professor Board man, of Chicago. Five of the six members of the committee constitute the majority. Tbe report says the report nirier consideration affords much encourage ment to friends of missions. Eighteen more missionaries have been appointed than the average number for the past twelve years. The finances were not so favorable as last year, the Sweet and Otis funds having been largely drawn upon to meet defi ciencies. The constitution of the board requires that no part of its funds go to support error, and we reaffirm and fall back upon the action taken last year at Des Moines, against the doctrine of a future probation. The committee deserves high commendation for its faithfulness in this part of its work, as it has followed instruction. The statements made by rejected candidates amply justify the decision. The board adheres to its position at Des Moines and accepts the action of the prudential committee. It recommends to the committee to be careful to guard against any approval of the doctrine of a future probation. Professor Fisher, in the minority report. took issue as to Mr. Hume and the rejected Andover students. "The home secretary," he says, "is plainly defending himselr and tbe prudential committee, and so that question becomes personal one. it- acts about tbe rejected stu dents that would modify the case have been withheld. In his zeal for putting down what he deems dangerous errors, he has suppressed tbe facts and usurped authority. Attempts have been xuade to use the board as a make-weight in

theological controversy. The board is not a tribunal to define orthodoxy. The churches have regular means of doing this." The burning issue was joined on tbe question as to which of these reports should be adopted, Prof. Fisher spoke in favor of his report. All the prudential eommittee should do was, he said, to ascertain, not so much what what the ideas of the candidate on speculative doctrines are, but what he will make of them; in short, to determine that he is not a "crank." Prof. Boardman. of the Chieago Theological Seminary, said: "We ate trying to evangelize the world, and we must do it with certain weapons, and the most important one is the gospel. Let us see if our weapons are the right ones. The idea that we have nothing to do with theology is preposterous. Now, the question is, will it be wise to introduce this new theology to lie alongside that to which we have been used? The two are not consistent with each other, and tbe old is better." Dr. Boardman then proceeded to controvert the dogma of probation after death. It was impossible for a man to hold this doctrine and not preach it. ' Rev. Dr. Parker, of Hartford, pleaded for ' those who hold the hypothesis not the doctrine of future probation. Rev. Dr. Taylor, of New York, argued the danger of sending missionaries who entertain -this hypothesis; they cannot meet tbe questions of the heathen, for if their ancestors might enjoy probation after death, then, though dying in sin, they were cot condemned. The danger in progress in theology was its movement in the direction of more error. ' Rev. Dr. Walker, of Hartford, said the doctrine under discussion was not a new one, as was supposed; it dated from tbe second century, and was held by leading men of England. Rev. G. A. Gordon, of Boston, declared that to adopt the majority report wonld be to alienate a larger and larger constituency. It would be hard to hold the great churches to the support of the board; Rev. Dr. E. P. Goodwin, of Chicago, said that his self-respect would not allow him to remain sileut. "Dr. Fisher calls me a crank by implication when be says that premillennialists should be excluded by notice that 'no cranks need apply.'" Dr. Fisher and others said Dr. Goodwin was in error as to what Dr. Fisher had said. Continuing. Dr. Goodwin said that Drs. Scudder, Moody, Spurgeon and St. Paul were on tbe same ground as to the second coming of Christ. "I thought a year ago," said he, "we hadn't come to the parting of the ways. . I find difficulty with this doctrine of a second probation because it is drawn, not from Scripture, but from Christian consciousness. I do not find in the Bible any respect for tbe philosophy of men. Christ quoted Moses rather than philosophy to support his teachings. So did St. Paul.' After an extended debate, the board rejected, by a vote of 92 to 43, the minority report of the committee, and passed, by a viva voce vote, the majority report, which sustains the action of the Des Moines conference against the theory of brobation after death. The following officers were elected: President, Richard S. Storrs, D. D., LL. D.; vice-president, E. W. Blatchford; prudential committee, Augustus C. Thompson; D. D.. EzraFarnsworth, Hon. Joseph S. RoDes, Edwin R. Webb. D. D.. Charles C. Bnrr, E. Terry, Albert H. Plumb, D. D., Hon. . Wm. P. Ellison, Edward S. Atwood, and Rev. Charles A. Dickinson; corresponding secretaries, Nathaniel C.
