STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING.

By C. H. Jones

THE fourteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, for the election of officers, and transaction of other business, will be held at the office of the company, in Oakland, Cal., Monday, April 22, 1889, at 9:30 A. M.

This will be one of the most important meetings ever held, and a general attendance of stockholders is requested. The past year has been an eventful one, and many advance steps have been taken. According to a resolution passed one year ago, a branch office has been established at 43 Bond Street, New York City, and is now in good running order. Another office has recently been opened at 121 South Spring Street, Los Angeles; and one of the most important questions to be considered at the coming meeting will be the establishment of a branch office in London, England. The work in this field is assuming such proportions that the General Conference has requested one of our publishing houses to take charge of the publishing work, and the lot has seemed to fall to the Pacific Press. Definite plans must now be laid for carrying forward this work.

During the last few months, the attention of the whole country has been called to the work of the National Reform party and other organizations, in their efforts to secure religious legislation. In view of the important issues at stake, and the opportunity given to get the truth before the people, we called a special meeting of the board of directors, in January, at which time it was voted to publish the American Sentinel weekly instead of monthly. Accordingly the change was made to date from the beginning of the present volume.

The office has been doing a good business all through the year, and the outlook for the future is encouraging. We trust that there will be a general attendance of the friends of the institution, as well as the stockholders, at the coming annual meeting.

C. H. JONES, Pres.
