Our girl readers, and for the matter of that, all others, will enjoy reading Mrs. Bourdeau's excellent article on "Girls, and the Dangers that Menace Them." We regret that our space would not permit the use of the whole article. We trust that its wise counsels will be heeded. There was another massacre of the Jews in Odessa, September 2. Five were killed, and fifty or more were wounded. When the massacre started the most of the unfortunate victims were kneeling over the graves of their friends and relatives that were slain a year ago. The police made no effort to stop the bloodshed, but apparently were in sympathy with it. The Sabbath-School Lesson Quarterly for the fourth quarter of this year is now ready, and may be had by addressing any of our tract society offices, in the usual way. The lessons are entitled "A Synopsis of Present Truth," and form a very interesting series. The grand old doctrines of the Bible that set forth the second coming of Christ and the preparation necessary to fit us to stand in that day can not be studied too frequently or too carefully. Pastor I. H. Evans, Treasurer of the General Conference, made us a brief visit September 4 while passing thru from the Southern California camp-meeting. We were very sorry that he could not have remained with us for a longer time, but pressing matters in the home office made it necessary for him to go on. He expressed himself as highly pleased with the economy and practicability of our new office building, and especially to see it so full of work in preparing the printed pages that tell of the soon coming of Christ and the preparation necessary to meet Him when He comes. The fact that all our facilities are taxed continually in preparing our own publications, and that we have no time for any outside commercial work is always a source of encouragement to our workers as they visit our busy factory.
