The Pitcairn and Public Printing
By Editor
On Sabbath, January 21, services were held in the Oakland S. D. A. Church to bid farewell and pray for the blessing of God upon those who were about to start on another cruise with the missionary ship Pitcairn. Sunday morning at ten another short prayer and song service was held on the deck of the ship as she was about to leave the wharf. The vessel was then towed by a tug to a point in San Francisco Bay near the Golden Gate, where she lay till the next morning, for favorable wind before starting on her long trip. A fuller account of the services, and the Pitcairn's proposed cruise among the islands of the Pacific, will be given next week. We learn on going to press that a bill has been introduced into both Houses of the California Legislature requiring that all public printing shall be placed in union offices. What does this mean? Is it a good or bad measure? Think of it.
