The 1905 Year Book

By H. E. Rogers

A NUMBER of months ago it was decided to issue a Year Book for 1905, and revised directories were called for from all the conferences, missions, and institutions connected with the denomination. The proper persons were notified in time to send in their reports to this office at the date specified. Most of the secretaries did this; a few, however, did not, and hence the compilation of the directories has not been completed because of their failure to send in the necessary revisions.
Every week that has elapsed since that time, changes have occurred in officers and workers, and in their addresses. We now desire to issue the Year Book, whether the few secretaries who have been repeatedly asked to send in their reports, have enough interest to do so or not. The object of this note is to ask the secretaries of conferences in which changes of any kind have occurred since sending in their reports, to forward such information at once to the undersigned, that the matter for the Year Book may absolutely correct at the date of going to press.
In addition to the matter which the Year Book usually contains, the issue for 1905 will contain some very valuable historical matter, giving the leading facts regarding the development of the message, and the organization and progress of this work in various lines. These are put in chronological order. The chief events connected with the history of this cause are noted, and the most important actions taken at the sessions of the General Conference are epitomized, thus giving a brief resume of the work done by that body. The progress of the denomination is also reported statistically, so that the whole makes a very complete historical and statistical statement of the progress of the denomination from its beginning to the present time. The Year Book for 1905 will therefore exceed in value any previous issue, and every person will want to have a copy for his own use, not alone for the directory matter it contains, but for the valuable historical information it gives.
The price remains as heretofore, 25 cents a copy. Order of your tract society, or of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.
