TOWER
express
my
appreciation
in
words.
While
it
caused
some
com
ment
and
made
me
a
little
conspicuous,
it
was
on
account
of
interest
in
the
new
invention,
which
met
the
approval
of
all
who
saw
it.
I
am
so
thankful,
not
only
for
myself
but
for
many
other
sisters
who
find
their
strength
insufficient
to
do
the
heavy
part
of
the
work,
which
now
may
be
rolled
along
with
any
steady
hand
to
guide
it.
We
are
anxiously
awaWng
the
announcement
that
the
Dawn-Mobiles
are
ready
for
our
use.
We
hope
that
all
needing
such
a
conveniance
will
avail
themselves
of
it.
We
are
all
rejoicing
that
the
Lord
has
seen
fit
to
bring
JOu
back
from
the
old
country
to
Allegheny
again.
Our
prayers
are
with
you
and
"the
family"
daily
that
you
all
may
have
strength
to
keep
the
sacrifice
so
pleasing
to
him
on
the
altar
until
soon
entirely
consumed.
God
bless
you!
I
am
your
sister
by
his
grace,

WHITE,-Iowa.
THE
DAWN-MOBILES
READY
For
a
long
time
we
have
been
on
the
lookout
for
some
nevice
which
would
aid
our
colporteur
sisters
in
making
de
livery
of
their
books.
Fifty
books
weigh
forty
pounds
and
are
too
great
a
strain
on
the
delicate
of
either
sex.
Colporteur
Brother
Cole
has
solved
the
problem
splendidly.
He
has
contrived
a
device
having
two
wheels
which
may
be
attached
to
any
ordinary
"suit-case"
in
five
minutes,
and
without
injury
to
the
latter
except
two
holes.
In
use
the
wheels
support
the
weight
of
the
books
and
are
easily
guided
by
the
hand
on
the
suit-case
handle.
On
a
car
the
wheels
fold
up
against
the
side
of
the
suit-case.
The
mechanism
is
of
light
weight.
The
device
will
be
supplied
at
cost
to
any
colporteur-$2.50
plus
express
charges.
A
GENEROUS
PROPOSITION
Knowing
that
few
of
the
sisters
can
do
better
than
meet
their
expenses
at
colporteuring,
Brother
Cole
makes
the
fol
lowing
generous
proposal:
Through
our
Society's
Colpor
teur
Department
Brother
Cole
offers
one
of
these
attachments
free
to
each
Colporteur
sister
now
working
and
who
has
worked
on
a
regular
assignment
of
territory
during
the
six
months
ending
June
1,
1908,
to
the
extent
of
sending
in
regular
reo
ports,
and
paying
for
not
less
than
sixty
dollars
worth
of
books
in
that
time.
Orders
may
be
sent
in
at
once,
naming
your
express
company.
Should
these
limitations
barely
bar
out
some
struggling
flisters,
such
may
write
us
particulars
and
"e
will
see
what,
if
anything,
can
be
done
for
them.

JUNE 15, 1908 express my appreciation in words. While it caused some comment and made me a little conspicuous, it was on account of interest in the new invention, which met the approval of all who saw it. I am so thankful, not only for myself but for many other sisters who find their strength insufficient to do the heavy part of the work, which now may be rolled along with any steady hand to guide it. We are anxiously awaiting the announcement that the Dawn-Mobiles are ready for our use. We hope that all needing such a convenience will avail themselves of it. We are all rejoicing that the Lord has seen fit to bring you back from the old country to Allegheny again. Our prayers are with you and ‘‘the family’’ daily that you all may have strength to keep the sacrifice so pleasing to him on the altar until soon entirely consumed. God bless you! I am your sister by his grace, CHARLOTTE WHITE,—Iowa. THE DAWN-MOBILES READY For a long time we have been on the lookout for some device which would aid our colporteur sisters in making delivery of their books. Fifty books weigh forty pounds and are too great a strain on the delicate of either sex. Vou. XXTX ZION’S WATCH TOWER ALLEGHENY, PA., JULY 1, 1908 (191-196) Colporteur Brother Cole has solved the problem splendidly. He has contrived a device having two wheels which may be attached to any ordinary ‘‘suit-case’’ in five minutes, and without injury to the latter except two holes. In use the wheels support the weight of the books and are easily guided by the hand on the suit-ease handle. On a car the wheels fold up against the side of the suit-case. The mechanism is of light weight. The device will be supplied at cost to any colporteur—$2.50 plus express charges. A GENEROUS PROPOSITION Knowing that few of the sisters can do better than meet their expenses at colporteuring, Brother Cole makes the following generous proposal: Through our Society’s Colporteur Department Brother Cole offers one of these attachments free to each Colporteur sister now working and who has worked on a regular assignment of territory during the six months ending June 1, 1908, to the extent of sending in regular reports, and paying for not less than sixty dollars worth of books in that time. Orders may be sent in at once, naming your express company. Should these limitations barely bar out some struggling sisters, such may write us particulars and we will see what, if anything, can be done for them. No. 18 VIEWS FROM THE WATCH TOWER SEES THINGS COMING ‘*GIGANTIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN LABOR AND CAPITAL’? Secretary Taft made an address before the Order of Railway Conductors in which he said:— ‘*Men who control capital, as well as men who work for wages, must combine,’’ said Secretary Taft to the conduetors. ‘‘Combinations of capital within the bounds of the law are necessary for business expediency and for cost reduction. And because of these combinations among employers, the laboring men must combine also in order to obtain that independence to which they are entitled. LOOKS FOR GIANTS’ STRUGGLE ‘‘Every man who understands welcomes the lawful combination of capital and the combinations of the laboring men. Yet there is no denying the fact that we must look forward to a gigantic controversy between labor and capital, hoping and trusting that it will be settled peaceably. That controversy, when it comes, will decide once for all how eapital and labor shall share the joint-profits which they create. ‘“‘For the past three years we have been doing some housecleaning. We needed it. President Roosevelt was the chief of those who called a halt and convinced the people that no one in this country is above the law. I do not say that all rich men are wicked. We take pride in those who by energy, intelligence, and honesty have accumulated wealth. But there are men in this country who by means devious and contrary to law have become multi-millionaires. These must be made to know that their lawless methods cannot be successful in the future.’’ How evidently our Lord’s teachings and those of his apostles were not to the world, but to ‘‘the called according to his purpose.’’ To those he said, ‘‘Ye are not of the world, for I have chosen yon out of the world.’’ The purpose of their call is also made clear: That they should be holy, and, as his consecrated ‘‘little flock,’’ learn important lessons and be developed to the full in love and loyalty to God and to each other and to all the principles of righteousness to the intent that being thus qualified for service they may be made members of the royal family, the kingdom class, which shall rule the nations with a rod of iron, wielded by a hand of love, during the Millennium. Surely no other explanation fits the facts of history and the records of the Bible. Blessed are the eyes of all who see these things and still more blessed are those whose hearts respond fully and who thus by the Lord’s assisting grace make their calling and election sure to a place in that kingdom. LONDON GONE MAD OVER OCCULTISM The London correspondent of the Toronto Globe says: ‘‘Mayfair’s great army of clairvoyants, soothsayers, tablerappers and seventh-dav sisters have been greatly encouraged by Sir Oliver Lodge’s declarations concerning communications received from beyond the grave by the Psychieal Research Society. The police prosecutions of a few years ago caused a genuine stampede from the luxuriously-appointed temples of mystery in the fashionable streets of the West End, but most of those who ran away have returned or are returning—bolder and more mysterious than ever, “*Tt is declared on good authority that dabblers in the occult among fashionable society are numerically greater than ever before, and this statement is borne out by the rushing business being done by the men and women of mystery. In Oxford Circus and Piccadilly are daily to be seen sandwich men in large numbers bearing advertisement boards telling of the wonderfully accurate predictions made by Mme. X., and how Mme. Z., by timely warning to a lady of high title, prevented a dreadful domestic catastrophe. ‘*Quite a separate division of the futurity-reading industry is that of the sporting ‘prophets,’ who are doing so well financially that they are able to spend large sums for advertisements in the newspapers. A special crusade against this form of clairvoyance has been started by the Bishop of Hereford. He has used his influence to have a committee of the Upper House of the Convocation of Canterbury appointed to deal with the subject, and wholesale prosecutions, both of newspapers printing the advertisements and of those placing them, are threatened.’’ METHODISTS WANT CREED RESTATED Presbyterians are having great comfort from their restatement of their Faith for the public. They claim that it is just the same in meaning as their Westminster Confession. The new creed states so little and so vaguely that it mates well with the ‘‘new theology,’’ which denies the Atonement, the pre-existence of Jesus, etc. But now Methodists are feeling their need of a similarly colorless creed, as is shown by the following from the Portland Evening Telegram: At the meeting of the Methodist Episcopal ministers today at Taylor Street church, Rev, C. E, Cline read a paper on ‘‘Restating the Articles of Our Religion,’’ which was in line with the general movement of that church to restate the present articles, which were originally taken from the Episcopal ereed. Rev. Clarence True Wilson, D. D., said he found the articles needed restating, as he had often been embarrassed by the inadequacy of the present Discipline. ‘¢Why, the other day,’’ he said, ‘‘a Unitarian wrote me for information about our belief, and do you think I could send our Discipline? No, indeed not. Had I done so every minister present today would have criticised me. I happened to meet a Presbyterian minister who was in receipt of a letter from this same Unitarian and I asked him what he was going to do about it. ‘Why, send him our Articles,’ said he. I then said, ‘Sign my name to it, too.’ “‘We don’t believe in the idea of Christ’s atonement, yet we have it in our Discipline, and several other things, such as Original Sin being inherited. There ean be no such thing, and no minister of our church believes there is.’’ A CANDID CONFESSION TRULY, FROM A PROMINENT MAN The Rev.
