Teacher Sails for Jamaica

RESPONDING to a call from Jamaica for a teacher, Miss Rachel Wendell, of New Hampshire, sailed from New York, September 15, for the West Indies.

Christianity’s Power in Japan

“IT is wonderful what Christianity will do for people in a few years,” writes Elder I. H. Evans in the report of meetings which were recently held in Kobe, Japan. “Only a short time ago most of these workers were heathen,” he says; and now they are earnest believers in the third angel’s message, working successfully to bring others from darkness to the light. When once our work is established in hundreds and thousands of centers all over those populous lands of the East, each one radiating light, truly we shall soon see just how the Lord will show his power to cut short the work in righteousness.

First Adventist Church in New Guinea

DURING a recent visit of Elder J. E. Fulton, of the Australasian Union Conference, to the East Indies, the first Seventh-day Adventist church was organized in New Guinea.

Centennial Edition of Las Señales

TAKING advantage of the Mexican centennial, our brethren of that field have brought out a special Centennial edition of their paper, Las Señales de los Tiempos (Signs of the Times). It is a fine-appearing number, with cover printed in colors.

Training Schools Need Teachers

LET our training-schools be of good courage in turning out well-trained teachers. They are needed. Replying to an appeal from the Mission Board for the suggestion of a teacher for a foreign field, the educational secretary of one Eastern union conference says that he can not respond, inasmuch as he is in earnest search of help himself. “I am lacking six,” he writes.

Gillis Family Sails for China

We learn that Brother W. E. Gillis and family had arranged to sail the twentieth, from Vancouver, for China, to which field Brother Gillis goes to give special attention to the publishing work. He has had long experience in the office of the Pacific Press, followed by good experiences in the field work. More recently he has been connected with the work in British Columbia.

One Hundred Thirty-Seven Printing Jobs

PASSING through our office bindery and folding-room, and seeing every part of the large floor area taken up with a great variety of piles of work in hand or awaiting attention, we asked the foreman how many jobs were at that time under way in his room. He turned to his desk and counted the orders on which he is working. “One hundred thirty-seven jobs,” he replied, “are in hand, on which work has already been begun, though naturally some of the jobs must take precedence of others, and not all will be pushed through together.” These jobs include book, periodical, tract, and other work that means the spreading of the third angel’s message. When we think of similar reports that would come from our other offices round the wide world almost any day one made inquiry, we can see that truly the message is going with a rapidity that we scarcely realize. Let the activity in the field go on, keeping our offices pressed to the fullest limit.

Mission Workers Sail for China

From San Francisco, this week, a little party is sailing for China. Brother Esta Miller and wife, of the Mount Vernon (Ohio) College, go to Shanghai, and Miss Ida Thompson and her sister, Miss Gertrude Thompson, to Canton. Miss Thompson returns with assistance to resume her work in the Canton Girl's School.

Downs Family Bound for Cuba

We learn that after corresponding with the brethren in Cuba, Brother William B. Downs and wife, of the North Pacific, have arranged to sail this month from New Orleans for Cuba, to engage in self-supporting work.

Oberg Family Reaches Danish West Indies

WE have omitted to mention that Brother S. A. Oberg and wife, of New Jersey, formerly of the Foreign Mission Seminary, sailed the latter part of August for the Danish West Indies. They report safe arrival.

Pray for Teachers and Students

MANY schools are opening this month, with thousands of our youth and children in attendance. In private devotions and the weekly prayer-meetings let us pray for teachers and students.
