Elder Evans Visits West Indian Field

Delay in Mailing the Review

By Editor

WE regret that the mailing of a portion of last week’s edition of the REVIEW was delayed one day. This was due to the difficulties under which we worked in getting started in a new office. The same combination of circumstances is not likely to occur again, and we expect to send out the paper on time hereafter.

Canvassing for the Earthquake Special

A LADY in San Francisco, who is not a Seventh-day Adventist, ordered a supply of the Earthquake Special Signs, and added: “I also should like to become a canvasser for said paper. I bought one yesterday, and already have got these orders.” This shows what an impression is made upon some minds by reading this paper, and millions are needing its message.

Reporting the Camp-Meetings

By Editor

The season of camp-meetings is with us again and the cotton cities are appearing in various parts of the country. We shall be glad to receive a report of each meeting, and only ask that these gatherings be reported promptly, and that prominence be given to the spiritual experiences of the camp. We hope this note will catch the eye of all the presidents of our conferences.

Brother Scott Joins Paradise Valley Sanitarium

BROTHER J. R. SCOTT and family left Washington last week for a short stay in New York State, after which they will go to southern California. Brother Scott has accepted an invitation to connect with the Paradise Valley Sanitarium at National City, near San Diego. These friends have endeared themselves to the believers here, and they have the hearty good wishes of all for their prosperity in a new field of work.

Louisiana Religious Liberty Address

AN address "To the Honorable, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana," has been presented by Elder S. B. Horton, secretary of the religious liberty department of the State Conference. This address is printed in the form of a leaflet, with a neat cover which also contains quotations pertinent to the subject. The address was published in full in The Times-Democrat of New Orleans, dated May 19.

Earlier Review Press Deadline

By Editor

It is our plan to go to press with the REVIEW one day earlier than heretofore, and it will therefore be necessary for all notices, appointments, etc., to reach this office not later than Friday in order to insure insertion in the REVIEW of the following week. Important notices have sometimes come in late, and have thereby caused us serious inconvenience. We ask our brethren to give this announcement their attention, and to be governed accordingly.

Brevity in Obituary Notices

By Editor

THE pressing demands for space and the increasing number of obituary notices submitted to us for publication make it necessary that all such notices should be as brief as possible, and that, with the exception of persons well known in the denomination, they should not include any extended biographical sketch. We regret the necessity of making this announcement, but the circumstances seem to demand it. We hope that the writers of obituaries will bear in mind the statement which we have made and that they will co-operate with us in this matter.

Keene Academy Freed From Debt

It is a gratification to be able to state that one of our educational institutions has been freed from debt, largely through the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Accompanying the thirteenth annual calendar of the Keene (Tex.) Industrial Academy, comes a note from the principal, Prof. C. B. Hughes, who writes: “We are just closing a very profitable year. As you perhaps know, our school debt is paid, and we have been making many improvements during the past year, and are in a position to continue this work. Our enrolment is larger than it was last year, and the outlook for our school is very encouraging.” We congratulate the management of Keene Academy upon the successful issue of their effort to relieve their institution of the burden of debt. So far as we know, they have the distinction of being the first to raise the notes of the jubilee song. The calendar of the academy will be of interest to parents and young people in the territory from which the school draws the most of its students, and they should supply themselves with copies. Correspondence should be addressed to the principal.
