News Notes

By E. R. P.

H. H. HALL, manager of the circulation department of the Pacific Press Publishing Association, is attending the camp-meetings in the Central Union Conference. He reports good meetings and a promising outlook for that field.

A letter from Brother Max Trummer, who sailed a few days ago on the steamship “Verdi” from New York for Buenos Aires, South America, brings us the good news from Bahia that he has arrived safely thus far on his journey. He reports a pleasant voyage, though he would rather be working in South America than sailing the high seas.

Brother G. H. Clark, who recently left New York for Cape Town, South Africa, where he is to serve the cause in that field as general missionary agent of the South African Union Conference, reports from London that he had made arrangements to sail from there August 7. We shall watch with interest his reports from that great land of missions.

Elder N. Z. Town has arrived safely home from his visit to Old Mexico, where he has held a canvassers’ convention. He reports an interesting experience. Our pioneer canvassers in that field have been working with untiring zeal and devotion in the effort to establish the circulation of literature upon a self-supporting basis. We hope to be able to publish a detailed report of this convention in the next number of the REVIEW.

With very few exceptions, the letters received during the past month from general and field agents refer to their plans for a strong, organized effort in the canvassing field during the winter months. It appears from these letters that the great snow man, who has frightened so many canvassers during the past few years, is likely to be warmed up (and we hope he will be entirely dissolved) by the fires of love and devotion which our faithful canvassers are planning to kindle about him this winter.
