Thanksgiving Number of The Signs of the Times
The Thanksgiving number of The Signs of the Times is filled with interesting and valuable matter appropriate to the occasion which calls public attention in this nation to the subject of giving thanks. The true spirit of thanksgiving, and the questions when and for what we should give thanks, and to whom our thanks are due, are considered from a Biblical standpoint, together with other appropriate topics. The paper is filled with truths which will not get out of date. It is printed in green ink, and is nicely illustrated. On the last page appears a prospectus of The Signs for the year 1903. During the recent session of the General Conference Committee Council the Advisory Board of the Battle Creek church held two meetings to which the members of the council were invited, and at which the question of the relationship of the Battle Creek church to the West Michigan Conference was considered. At the second meeting it was almost unanimously voted that it was the sense of the Advisory Board that the Battle Creek church should remain a member of the West Michigan Conference, and a committee was appointed to confer with that conference with reference to the disposition of the tithe. The Michigan Conference, before its recent division into three conferences, recommended that the whole of this tithe be paid into the treasury of the General Conference.
