THE Sabbath-school lessons in our churches for the present quarter are on the general subject of "Practical Religion in the Home." They ought to be of interest, and therefore profitable to all. The pamphlet containing the lessons and valuable notes costs only five cents. It is worthy of study in all families whether the members attend Sabbath-school or not. It is a good missionary pamphlet.
A GENERAL camp-meeting will be held at Oakland, Cal., July 19-29. Owing to the large number of former San Franciscans now stopping in Oakland, many of them without permanent occupation at present, there is excellent opportunity for calling their attention to the truth. The camp is to be located between Grove Street and Telegraph Avenue, north of Forty-first Street, easily accessible from all parts of Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and Fruitvale, as well as from the railroad stations.
A RECENT letter from Brother J. D. Baker, of Leicester, England, to his father at this office, says, "Our conference meetings have just been held, and all the reports show an advance all along the line in all parts of this field." Of the work at the sanitarium, where he is engaged, he says: "Our rush is still keeping up. Every room is occupied. This is the largest run we have ever had here." Another item of interest is that "the British Union Conference is at present engaged raising funds for the East African mission. A young African, a native of Nyassaland who has been in the school, is leaving for Hamburg, and from there he goes to German East Africa; thence, with Brother Ems, to British East Africa, to look up a site for a mission. As soon as funds are available, others will be sent."
IN the Montana Bivouac, it is reported by Brother J. A. Holbrook that a church of twenty-nine members was organized at Kalispel, April 28. Eleven of these had been members in other places. One of those who were baptized was almost eighty years of age. It was at this place, while preaching on the subject of the alleged change of the Sabbath, that Brother Holbrook was interrupted by a "Christian" minister, and reminded that he had omitted an important text. He then mentioned a "text in Hebrews which says, 'Not forsaking the assembling of yourselves together on the first day of the week, as the manner of some is.'" Of course he referred to Heb. 10:25 and was no doubt surprised to learn that the words italicized were only in his imagination. Ignorance of the Scriptures is a very prolific cause of opposition to the truth. Even to the learned Jewish leaders Jesus said, "Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures."
