Various Matters.

By Editor

THURSDAY, Nov. 29, is National Thanksgiving day, according to a proclamation of President Arthur.
ON the Sabbath and Sunday before Thanksgiving, collections will be taken up in the schools of California to aid the California Association for providing a Home for Feeble-minded Children.
GOOD news comes to us from the Healdsburg College. "E. J. W." writes:
"The Bible-class is gradually increasing in numbers. There are thirty-five in regular attendance now, and there are some more coming. They are making some improvement."
When we consider that this class is not made up of aimless individuals, but the members are mostly earnest in their desires to work in the cause of God, we think we have reason to hope that a goodly band of workers will be trained for service in this year's College class.
THE music on this page is original in the "Pearly Portals." It must become popular in prayer and social meetings, as the air is easy and pleasing to the ear, and the words will reach every Christian heart. There is absolutely no poor music in Pearly Portals. The more we use it in our school, the more highly we value it.
