IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

By Editor

EVERY member of every organization ought to become acquainted with the work of the organization to which he has given his allegiance. This is especially true of the Christian. He ought to know, he is in duty bound to know, of the organization, the field, the work, of the army to which he belongs. Recognizing this, he will welcome any information upon this subject.

These remarks are preliminary and pertinent to a pamphlet which lies before us, entitled “Year Book of the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination” for 1905. It is one of the most complete ever issued. Do you wish to know the General Conference officers?—The Year Book gives you the information. Do you wish to learn the officers of any Union or Local Conference?—The Year Book will tell you. It gives a complete directory of the General Conference, Union and Local Conferences, Mission Fields, Publishing Houses, Educational Institutions, Periodicals, Sanitariums, and Benevolent Institutions.

It gives statistical reports, Constitution of the General Conference, Articles of Incorporation of our Eastern Publishing Association, etc., etc.

This Year Book gives a summary of the various steps in the rise and progress of the denomination from 1848 to 1905, arranged in chronological order. The writer of this note attempted this in a much briefer summary in the Year Book for 1884, but this account is much more nearly complete. It alone is worth the price of the Year Book.

All the sessions of the General Conference, with place and date, are given, and the presidents and secretaries of the General Conference, from 1863 to the present, are given.

There is also a general statement of the “fundamental principles of Seventh-day Adventists,” tho not given as a creed; for the only creed of this people is the Bible.

There are 200 pages in this book, and the price is only 25 cents. Send in your orders at once to the Review and Herald Association, 222 N. Capitol Street, Washington, D. C.; or to the Pacific Press Publishing Company, Mountain View, Cal.
