SPECIAL NOTICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Do you want a year's scholarship in Battle Creek College? If you desire to fit yourself for a place in the work of God, and feel your need of a more thorough education, write us, and we will place you in possession of facts that will enable you to obtain what is outlined above.

For further information address J. W. COLLIE, Battle Creek College, Battle Creek, Mich.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

ARE you planning to attend some school next fall and winter? This personal question is asked of every young man and woman who contemplates entering the work of God in any capacity. Battle Creek College is a training-school for Christian workers, and if you feel your need of a preparation before entering the ministry,

Bible work, or canvassing, it will be well for you to correspond with the school.

There are scores of young people who should be engaged in some branch of the Lord's work, and if you do not wish to enter either of the branches mentioned, the College can put you in possession of a trade either as a broom maker, a tailor, a dressmaker, a printer, or a carpenter, that will enable you to do work for the Master in educating others to become self-supporting missionaries.

The managers of the school have placed the rate for board, room, and tuition as low as possible, but arrangements can be made for each student to reduce his expenses by doing some manual labor.

Further particulars will be cheerfully sent upon application. Address J. W. Collie, Battle Creek, Mich.

WHAT FRIENDS OF THE ADVOCATE SAY.

THE ADVOCATES have arrived. You will find enclosed thirty cents for them, also thirty cents for ten more copies of the same number, if the March number is not yet out. May we have them as soon as possible, as the children are anxiously waiting for them? We find a ready sale for them. It has done me good to see the interest taken in them. We have not yet decided on the disposal of our profits. One girl has already used hers to purchase Signs, and thus increase it. We think some of purchasing seeds for our missionary garden. Williamsport, Pa. NEVA M. MARTIN.

We can not get along without our magazine. It comes like a harbinger of truth and rest. Like a letter from home, it brings new courage. The strong, helpful words and testimonies from our brethren and sisters in the church school work give greater assurance of success. The subscription price would better be advanced, if necessary, rather than to think of stopping the publication of the paper. If we may be permitted to say it, there is no fault to be found with the paper, except that it does not come often enough. ALTA CROWLEY. Wichita, Kans.

I did not know how much I was missing by not having the TRAINING-SCHOOL ADVOCATE last year. The two numbers which have come this year are worth more than the price of the year's subscription to any one who is interested in the subject of Christian education. I would like to know what has been published in the ADVOCATE SERIES, and what is the price of the same. We are now engaged in school work directly, and are anxious to have all the help we can to do the work as God would have it done. Can I secure the complete file, or any part thereof, of the ADVOCATE for 1899? Oakwood, S. C. B. F. GOWDY.

THE TRAINING-SCHOOL ADVOCATE for February has reached us, and to say that we are pleased with it is expressing it very mildly. No family, and especially no one engaged in teaching, should be without this valuable magazine. The first article in this number is “Essential Education for Children” and consists of extracts from the writings of Mrs. E. G. White. The second article is “Errors of Our Modern Educational System.” These two articles are certainly worth many times the price of the paper to us, if we follow out their teachings. This paper is good and practical from beginning to end.—Missionary Visitor.

A NEW BOOK ON COLORADO.

WE have received from Mr. P. S. Eustis, General Passenger Agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, a book just off the press, which is unusually interesting and artistic. It is on the subject of Colorado, fascinatingly written by James W. Steele, a descriptive writer of great force. The book is lavishly illustrated by engravings of a high order, and the printer's art has not been handicapped by an effort to save expense. To any one interested in the grandeur of Colorado scenery, and particularly to one contemplating a visit to the country described, the book will be indispensable. Copies can be had by sending a letter of request accompanied by six cents in postage stamps to Mr. Eustis, at his Chicago address, 209 Adams Street.
