Sabbath-School Mission Giving and Avondale School

THE quarterly summary of Sabbath-school reports which appears in the August number of the Sabbath School Worker shows that our schools in the United States and Canada for the first quarter of this year have donated to missions the sum of $16,989.53. The summary for foreign conferences and mission fields is for the previous quarter, and amounts to $6,470.34. The sum of the two gives a record of our entire field, the world, for one quarter, and amounts to $23,459.87. A little increase over this record will mean one hundred thousand dollars to missions from our Sabbath-schools during the present year.

ON their way westward, Prof. B. F. Machlan and family spent two days in Washington last week. They sail from Vancouver August 13. Professor Machlan goes to Australia to take charge of the Avondale school, in place of Prof. C. W. Irwin, who connects with the educational work in California. The brethren of the Atlantic Union Conference regretted deeply losing the services of Professor Machlan at South Lancaster, but by their release of a valued worker they are investing largely in the important work which Avondale is established to do in Australia, Polynesia, and the populous East Indies.
