The Report of the Publishers' Convention

The proceedings of the publishers' convention held at Washington, D. C., October 3-10, 1906, are printed in a pamphlet of 256 pages, and will be mailed for ten cents, post-paid. The following introductory note to these proceedings will reveal their importance:—

“Since the organization of the General Conference Publishing Department at the General Conference session held in Battle Creek, Mich., in 1901, only one general convention of the department has been held previous to the one held in Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., Oct. 3-10, 1906. “This second convention was held under most favorable conditions. As the General Conference Committee, together with a large delegation of State conference presidents, treasurers, and other officials, had been in council at Takoma Park during the week previous to the opening of the convention, favorable opportunity was given for a publishers’ convention in which there would be a large representative gathering of leading men. “The officers of the General Conference co-operated with the department officers by dropping almost entirely the regular work of the General Conference Council, and by opening the way for all to attend the meetings of the convention. “The result was very gratifying indeed. For one week the members of the General Conference Committee and many other leading men sat together with the members of the department, joining their committee work, their devotions, and all their discussions. “The questions considered were of vital importance and of world-wide interest. It has, therefore, been deemed advisable that a report of these meetings be published in convenient form for general distribution. An effort has been made to publish the larger part of the important papers and discussions, so as to give our people a clear, comprehensive understanding of the strong, enthusiastic work of the convention. “We trust that in the reading of these reports our people will catch the enthusiasm of the convention, and be greatly strengthened and encouraged in their home missionary work.”

“A FRIEND IN THE KITCHEN, or What to Cook and How to Cook It,” by Mrs. Anna L. Colcord, is described in the following first paragraph of the preface of this helpful book: “The object of this work is to furnish in an inexpensive and convenient form plain directions on healthful cookery. Special attention has been given to the idea, presenting such recipes as will tend to make the living of the family what it should be,—simple, economical, wholesome, nutritious, palatable, and varied.” The book gives over four hundred recipes, while in the back will be found a table giving the time required to digest

various foods, another giving the nutritive value of different foods, still another setting forth the weights and measures for the kitchen. Special paper binding, 25 cents; oilcloth, 50 cents, post-paid.
