News and Notes

By A. J. S. B.

Owing to an unexpected demand for the edition, the publishers of Life and Health have printed 60,000 copies of the June number.

Brother A. A. Cone, field agent of the Pacific Union Conference, has just returned from a trip through Southern California. He reports that Brother Ernest Lloyd, missionary secretary of the Southern California Conference, recently developed six magazine agents as the result of one week's work in one of the large churches. There are many in our churches who might thus be encouraged to enter the work.

One of our brethren in Switzerland recently wrote to the publishers of our German magazine, Zeichen der Zeit, expressing his high appreciation of the same. This he did not only in words, but also by ordering 600 copies to sell among the people.

One of our German workers in California writes: “Zeichen der Zeit finds just as kind reception as the Hausfreund, and is loved and appreciated by its readers. In proof of this, when I explained some matters to a German sister the other day, she handed me, at the close of our conversation, $100 to be used especially in behalf of Zeichen der Zeit.”

“We feel encouraged in the periodical and tract and missionary work in our conference,” writes Mrs. H. W. Carr, secretary-treasurer of the Western New York Tract Society. “As we visit the different churches, we find our people willing to assist in this work when it is placed before them. We are selling large numbers of the one-dollar tract packages, and our people seem pleased to get them. A good interest is also being taken in the Temperance number of the Instructor. During a two weeks’ trip I took orders for papers and tracts to the amount of fifty-five dollars. We purpose to continue this work in every way that we can in the future.” A. J. S. B.
