Encouraging Prospects in North India

A letter from Elder S. A. Wellman, of Lucknow, India, says: "Our work here in the north looks more encouraging to me than at any time since I came to India. We have had many things to discourage us in the past, but with the good force of workers now in the field I believe the prospects are bright for souls." Brother Wellman speaks of the excellent work being done by Brother Belgrave in his school work, and of the successful language study being prosecuted by Sister H. R. Salisbury, Brother and Sister Morris, Brother Loasby, and Brother and Sister Brisbin.

Nurses Called to South Africa

LAST week, Wednesday, Brother F. O. Stuckey and Mrs. Stuckey (formerly Miss Ruth Lane, of Ohio) reached Washington from California, on their way out to South Africa. Both are graduate nurses and at considerable sacrifice are answering a pressing call from the Cape Sanitarium at the Cape for additional help in their nurses' department because of increasing patronage. The prayers of their many friends will follow them to their new field of labor.

The Temperance "Instructor"

THOUGH up to March 17, 220,000 copies of the Temperance Instructor had been sent out, on that day, in addition to the usual flow of orders for immediate mailing, one worker placed an order for 15,000 copies for future shipment. Another worker in Canada gave notice that he would want 20,000 copies within a few weeks, and a lecturer for the Anti-Saloon League of a certain State asked for prices on 50,000 copies. Our people in all places ought to recognize the unusual opportunity the present Temperance Instructor affords not only in ministering to the one great need of society, but in paving the way, through friendly contact and hearty cooperation with the best people, for our greater gospel message.

"Religious Liberty in America"

THIS is one of the most interesting and valuable books which has been published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It is a compendium of information regarding the growth of religious liberty in the United States. It deals with the rise and growth of the principles of soul freedom. It condenses into a compact and interesting story those developments which have freed the souls and consciences of men from the slavery of an enforced religion; but, while dealing with these elements, the author shows also the trend backward to those things from which the race has been struggling to release itself. This book shows how history in the present day is actually repeating itself in the movements which are now on foot. If men understood what is really involved in these dangerous movements, they would turn away from them and refuse to be parties to this great conspiracy against the rights of men and the prerogatives of God. The circulation of this book will help many to see what is involved in these movements, and encourage its readers to take their stand on the side of truth and liberty.

The book is divided into twenty-five chapters, and contains 448 pages. The writings of the author, Charles M. Snow, one of the editors of this journal and the associate editor of the Liberty magazine, are well known to our people. Brother Snow has given much earnest study and research to the historical data bearing on the question of which he writes, and the book which he has prepared may be considered an authoritative statement of the development of the history of the religious liberty movement in America. This book should be read by all our readers, and should be circulated by them among their friends and neighbors. See advertisement on page 2.
