ALL will be glad to note, by one report in this issue, that there is a call to us for help from the Eskimos of the far North. The whole world has a right to expect Seventh-day Adventists to be in every dark corner of the earth with this message within a few years.
Dr. Froom Pursuing Postgraduate Work
WE recently had the pleasure of seeing in Washington, Dr. J. E. Froom, of Idaho, who is now taking postgraduate work in New York City. The doctor has been blessed and prospered in his work in Idaho.

The Oriental Watchman in Magazine Form
BEGINNING with 1910, the Oriental Watchman, published in Lucknow, India, comes out in magazine form, a two-column, twenty-four-page journal. Elder G. F. Enoch is the editor. The January number affords a splendid presentation of Bible truth on a variety of subjects. The key-note of the journal is the proclamation of this last great message. The Watchman has become a power in India in behalf of the message of truth, and we trust that the form in which it is now printed may greatly aid it in its sale and circulation among the millions of this great mission field.

Missionary Volunteer Day
Do not forget that Sabbath, February 26, has been set apart by the General Conference Committee as Missionary Volunteer day. The regular service in all churches should be devoted to the program sent with the Second Sabbath Reading to church elders. The person who gives the “Review of Missionary Volunteer Work” should condense the article in the “Missionary Volunteer Sheet” considerably. This issue of the REVIEW, and also the Instructor of February 15, gives some interesting items concerning the Mohammedan field, to which the offerings of Missionary Volunteer day go.
