Sabbath-School Lesson Quarterly
By Editor
The Sabbath-school Lesson Quarterly for the first quarter of 1909 is now ready for distribution. The lessons cover the book of Philippians in a comprehensive, helpful manner. The price is five cents a copy. Address your tract society or Pacific Press Publishing Company, Mountain View, Cal. "Our Letter from Athens," from Professor Howell, beginning on the first page of this issue, ought to have been printed before. Our little journal did not permit. It does not give by any means now the latest phases of the Balkan question, but it does give very much of the true inwardness of the situation, as do the two letters which will follow. They are instructive and interesting reading, every line of them. We are pained to note the death of Dr. A. H. Lewis, one of the old-time pillars in the Seventh-day Baptist denomination. Dr. Lewis is the author of several works on the Sabbath question; a man of deep learning, kindly in disposition, and a clear writer. He was for many years the editor of the Sabbath Recorder. The cause of his death was pneumonia. He died at Alfred Center, N. Y., while his home is in Plainfield, N. J. He was one that his denomination could ill afford to spare. The first American Catholic Missionary Congress was held in Chicago from Sunday, November 15 to Wednesday, November 18, under the auspices of the archbishop of Chicago and the Catholic Church Extension Society of the United States. This logically follows the making of the United States a Catholic country by the pope. The object and work of this society ought to be of interest to all Christian people and we will therefore present a report of it from our own correspondent who was in attendance. This report will probably be presented in our first number of the year. We can assure our readers that it will be of interest.
