Notices and Announcements

By Editor

SEVERAL notices and announcements published in this number are worthy of careful reading. Note the request of Prof. M. E. Olsen, on page 14, for data and material to be used in the preparation of the denominational history which he is writing; the announcement of the mothers' normal department of the Fire-side Correspondence School, by Prof. C. C. Lewis, on page 15; “Teaching Public Speaking by Correspondence,” on page 16. Prospective medical students will be interested to read the statement made by Dr. W. A. Ruble on page 17, regarding advancing requirements for entrance to the medical school. In the Publishing Department Miss E. M. Graham proposes a simple plan which, by general cooperation, would result in the creation of a fund of more than three thousand dollars to provide our brethren in India, China, Japan, and Korea with literature for free distribution. Those uniting in this plan will secure an experience in personal missionary work, the beginning of the broader experience needed in the life of every Seventh-day Adventist.

SINCE leaving this country Elder A. G. Daniells has found much to engage his attention and enlist his most earnest efforts in connection with general meetings in Europe. He will be absent until the first of October. Writing from Friedensau, July 23, he says: “I am leaving this place at the close of the Sabbath, July 26, for Brussels, where I am to spend a day with Elder Klingbeil, and speak to the church there. Monday, the twenty-eighth, I reach London for the Nottingham meeting. Then I leave England for the north Swiss meeting. From there I go to the Lausanne meeting. Then I attend a meeting in the south of France, and from there I go to Barcelona, Spain; next to Vienna, Austria; and my last meeting will be a ministerial institute in Sweden, September 11. I plan to sail for New York the twenty-fourth, where I should arrive about the first of October.” Brother Daniells promises reports of these meetings, and we hope to receive these from time to time. It is to be regretted that Brother Daniells has not been enjoying the best of health since starting on this journey. His long years of arduous labor and extensive travel have not left wholly unimpaired his natural strength and vigor. These years, however, have afforded him a rich experience in the things of God, and our brethren in the outlying fields greatly appreciate the help his long experience enables him to give. Let us pray that God will sustain his faithful servant and give him health and strength and courage for the important responsibilities of his world-wide labors.
