Foreign Mission and Conference News

LAST week Prof. H. R. Salisbury gave a very instructive stereopticon lecture at the Foreign Mission Seminary on Ancient Egypt and its Monuments. One interesting feature of the evening was the rendering of the Mohammedan call to prayer, by Brother Sellahaddin, of the Seminary, formerly a Moslem himself. This musical cry sounds daily from minaret and tower through the whole Moslem world, from China to West Africa, calling the millions to prayer. Is it not high time to sound the call of the advent message among these millions?

FOR nearly a year, the Central American Conference has been without a president. We are glad to learn that Elder N. V. Williss, of Texas, has accepted a call to take the presidency of that conference.
