Important Announcement

The Report of the General Conference Will Be Printed in the REVIEW—No General Conference Bulletin Will Be Published

For a number of years the reports of the General Conference sessions have been issued in a special publication, the General Conference Bulletin. This year it has been decided that all these reports shall appear in the REVIEW, and that no Bulletin be published.

In order to have room for the insertion of this extra matter, the number of pages of the REVIEW will be increased to thirty-two during the conference and for a few weeks following.

In view of the extra cost of producing a thirty-two page paper, no two months’ subscriptions covering the time of the conference will be accepted, and the price for three months will be fifty cents. On six months’, eight months’, and yearly subscriptions there will be no increase in price, but for less than six months, there will be only the one rate of fifty cents for three months. This change of price does not in any way affect old subscribers whose names are now on our list, and their short-time renewals will be accepted at the old rate.

Will not our tract society secretaries, our ministers, our church elders and librarians begin at once a vigorous effort to secure subscriptions from all Sabbath-keepers who are not now subscribers? Certainly every Seventh-day Adventist will want the reports of the next General Conference, and so they must have the REVIEW.

An earnest endeavor should be made now to show our people what a loss they will sustain in not having the reports of the coming conference. This next session will without question be the most important ever held. Missionaries will be here from all parts of the world, and their reports of the progress of the message in the regions beyond will do much to encourage and stimulate all our people.

No Seventh-day Adventist can afford to deprive himself of the REVIEW now, anyway. Think of the important matter which it has contained since it has been printed in Washington; of the reports of the establishment and development of the work here at the nation’s capital; the important articles from the pen of Sister White; the plans for the missionary campaign, the readings and programs for the conventions, together with the reports of the work accomplished by the week-of-prayer readings for 1904, and the many stirring articles in connection therewith; and besides all this, the intimate touch into which every reader is brought with the plans of the

General Conference Committee and with the progress of the work in all the world.

It is no idle boast to say that in no other publication, nor in any combination of publications, can all the important matter be found which the REVIEW contains.

All of the eight or ten thousand persons who have heretofore ordered the Bulletin, and who are not now subscribers to the REVIEW, should send in their subscription for the coming year, without delay.

Orders can be sent through any State tract society or publishing house. Any orders sent direct to this office should be accompanied by the cash.
