Revised Ministry of Healing Arrangements

A COMPLETE explanation of the present plans for handling “Ministry of Healing” will be found on page 20. It is specially desired that conference officers and sanitarium managers take note of these revised arrangements which will make the work with “Ministry of Healing” much easier and more successful.

Lisbon Newspaper Reports on Adventists

WE have received a copy of a Lisbon newspaper, O Seculo, which has a two-column article on its front page, describing the work and teaching of Seventh-day Adventists, with a photograph of Brother C. E. Rentfro in his meeting-room, the prophetic chart appearing on the wall behind him. This newspaper has the largest circulation of any paper in Portugal, and its articles about the end of the world will surely lead some to inquire after the truth.

Using Gold to Build Righteousness

GOLD will be only a building material in the New Jerusalem. Let us use what we have of it here so as to build up the kingdom of righteousness in the very midst of this stronghold of sin.

A Physician Needed for Knowlton Sanitarium

Very acceptable word comes from Elder D. E. Lindsey, business manager of the Knowlton (Quebec) Sanitarium, as follows: “Brother C. L. Butcher and wife will come to our aid May 1. The Board chose a local physician to act indefinitely as superintendent. We hope to secure a lady physician soon. Now give us a man to qualify for practise in Quebec. We will help him all we can. When he is prepared, we will give him the superintendency, and thank God that he has answered our petition.”

Establishing the Work in New Orleans

By Editor

ON page 20 of this issue is a short article by Elder S. N. Haskell outlining a plan of work that has a very important bearing upon the progress of this message. Locally, it pertains to the firmer establishment of our work in the city of New Orleans. But in its true bearing its influence can not be localized. Many lines of communication by sea and by land radiate from New Orleans, and we believe that it is destined to be a very important center for the dissemination of the truth. May there be a hearty response on the part of all our people.

The South and the $150,000 Fund

As will be seen by the list on page 6, the fifty thousand dollars which was appropriated for the South from the $150,000 fund has now been nearly raised; and already the Nashville Sanitarium and other institutions have had the benefit of this generous appropriation.

We are very grateful to every one concerned in this matter of helping the South. And now let us combine our forces to make an earnest effort to supply the work in Washington, on the Pacific Coast, in Canada, the West Indies, South America, England, and Scandinavia with the portions appropriated from the remaining one hundred thousand dollars.

By a misunderstanding, the Southern Union Conference has not hitherto been credited in the REVIEW list with the full amount raised in the South for this work. An encouraging interest is being manifested by our people here in the raising of the whole fund, and all are determined to show by their donations their gratitude for the help the South is receiving. The brethren and sisters in the South are working with absolute unity with our people in the East, the North, and the West. It is one great movement throughout all the world; and, having received, we appreciate the fact, and are acting upon it, that it is still more blessed to give than to receive.
