LET all come to the general meeting of the Seventh-day Adventists to be held in the city of Walla Walla, W. T., the third Sabbath and Sunday in October, 19 and 20, 1878. The fourth quarterly meeting of the North Pacific tract and missionary society for 1878 will be held at this time and place. Let the directors of each district be prompt in making out their reports for this meeting. Let the directors of districts No. 1 and 2, and the librarian of each church, and all the members and friends who possibly can, attend the meeting.

Church Quarterly Meetings.
By John Norton Loughborough
The church quarterly meetings of each church in the State will be held the first Sabbath and Sunday in October. On the Sabbath the list of members is to be read by the clerk and each member is expected to respond in a personal testimony or by letter. Either evening after the Sabbath or on Sunday the church tract and missionary meeting is to be held. The librarian will call the roll of the tract and missionary members, when each will read their quarterly report and pass it over to the librarian so that he can make out his report in season for the district quarterly meeting. At this meeting it is expected the systematic benevolence treasurer will complete his collection of all systematic benevolence dues and missionary one-third. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.

A New Work.
By James White
Thoughts on Baptism, being an examination of Christian Baptism, its action, subject and relations; also a brief consideration of the historical evidences for Trine Immersion, by Elder J. H. Waggoner.
The following is the table of contents:— Chapter I. What is Baptism? Washing and Baptizing.—Chapter II. Dip and Sprinkle in the Old Testament.—Chapter III. Baptism of the Spirit. Scripture Illustrations. Instances of Baptism.—Chapter IV. One Baptism or Three Baptisms.—Chapter V. Non-Baptism of Friends or Quakers.—Chapter VI. Baptism of John. Baptism of Christ. Baptism in the Name of Christ.—Chapter VII. The Commission still in Force. Baptism is not Circumcision.—Chapter VIII. Subjects of Baptism.—Chapter IX. Subjects of Baptism—Continued.—Chapter X. The Order of Baptism.—Chapter XI. The Remission of Sin. When Granted.—Chapter XII. "A Saving Ordinance."—Chapter XIII. Introduction to History and Trine Immersion. Theodoret. Sozomen.—Chapter XIV. Justin Martyr. Clement. Turtullian. Mr. Reeves. Apostolical Canons. Munnulus.—Chapter XV. Ennomius. Weight of Historical Quotations. The Greek Church.—Chapter XVI. Baptism in the First Centuries.—Chapter XVII. Reasons for Three Immersions. The Consequences.
The thoughtful observer will see by the foregoing table of contents that Elder W. has given the public in the brief space of one hundred and ninety-two pages, a very thorough work on the subject of Baptism. The full value of his effort, however, can only be realized by the Bible student after giving it a careful reading. It should have a wide circulation. Price, post paid, 25 cts. J. W.

Of about fifty books of this class now before us, emanating from various publishers all over the country not one appears to us as handsome or substantial as The Song Anchor. Price 50 cents; per hundred $40. Address, Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.
