Notice!

By Mrs. Grace Hoover

NON-RESIDENT members of the Twin City Seventh-day Adventist church of Urbana, Ill., who do not report, and are unfaithful in the matter of tithes and offerings, will be placed upon the terminating list, subject to re-instatement on approval of the church. Otherwise, connection with the church will expire twelve months from date of such entry.

By order of the church.

MRS. GRACE HOOVER, Church Clerk.

The following-named persons desire late, clean copies of our publications, post-paid:—

Mrs. Jane E. Harris, 330 Plain St., Columbia, S. C., Signs, REVIEW, and Life and Health.

Sabbath-School Contributions to Missions

The quarterly summary of Sabbath-school reports published in the November issue of the Sabbath School Worker shows that the contributions to missions by the Sabbath-schools of the United States and Canada for the quarter ending June 30 amounted to $17,373.60, an average of over thirteen hundred dollars a week. The contributions from schools in the foreign conferences and mission fields during the previous quarter, but reported at the same time, amounted to $5,670.12, bringing the total contributions to missions for one quarter to $23,043.81. This is the best record ever yet made by our Sabbath-schools, and leads the officers of the Sabbath-school department, whose motto has been, “A thousand dollars a week to missions,” to feel that their rallying cry is getting out of date, and several of them are inquiring for one which will better represent the liberalities of the Sabbath-schools. That the contributions from our schools would prove to be such an important factor in the support of our mission work was hardly realized when the plan was inaugurated seventeen years ago.

Elder Prener Arrives in Brazil

We hear of the arrival of Elder H. S. Prener and wife in Brazil. They will engage in the work in Rio de Janeiro.

Religious Liberty Work in Newfoundland

Last week Elder K. C. Russell returned to Washington from Newfoundland. He brings a good report of the meetings held there in the interests of religious liberty.

Daniells Attends Missionary Workers’ Conference

ELDER A. G. DANIELLS left Washington last Thursday for Madison, Tenn., to attend the conference of self-supporting missionary workers now in session at that place. He will probably return to the office during the present week.

Dr. Russell Arrives in Japan

DR. R. RUSSELL reports the arrival of himself and wife and Miss May Scott in Japan. They were to go on to Korea in a few days.

Donation for Colored Work

By Editor

WE are pleased to acknowledge the receipt of five dollars from “a lone sister,” to be applied on the October collection in behalf of the work for the colored people.

Missionaries Sail for India

Last week Miss M. Belle Shryock, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, and Miss Edythe Ayers, of the Review and Herald Office staff, sailed from New York for England, on their way to India.

Autumn Meetings in Eastern Russia

By post-card from Eastern Russia, Brother Guy Dail, general secretary for Europe, reports excellent autumn meetings in that frontier field. A conference of workers had just closed in Saratov, on the Volga.

Elder Evans Reports from Honolulu

A LETTER from Elder I. H. Evans, posted at Honolulu and received here last week, reports a safe and comfortable passage to that port. Elder Evans expected to spend only one day at Honolulu on this voyage, and to go on to Japan on the same ship. He would therefore be likely to arrive at Yokohama about the same time that his letter was received here.

Address on Seventh-day Adventism

By invitation of the Secular League of Washington, an address was delivered before the members of that organization by the editor of the REVIEW, Sunday afternoon, October 18. The topic assigned by the officers of the league was “Seventh-day Adventism,” with the understanding that the address would explain the scope and meaning of this second advent movement, as viewed by Seventh-day Adventists.

Conradi Travels to East Africa

A POSTAL-CARD from Elder L. R. Conradi, dated Port Said, October 2, says: “After a very successful general meeting at Beirut, continuing six days, we arrived here September 30, and expect to sail to-day with the four German East African missionaries. We are due at Mombasa, October 14.” As to the changed conditions under Turkish rule, Brother Conradi writes: “We enjoyed full freedom; not even a passport was demanded.” We shall look for a further report from Brother Conradi concerning his visit to Africa.

The Missionary Review of the World

By Editor

The current number of The Missionary Review of the World contains matter of unusual interest and value. We accord first place to the leading editorial, which is a strong avowal of faith in the original gospel as set forth in the Scriptures, and a repudiation of the “New Theology.” The article on “The Religious Situation in Russia” is full of facts of interest, and Dr. James L. Barton writes instructively of the “Moslems in Turkey.” The Review is 25 cents a number, or $2.50 a year. Funk and Wagnalls, publishers. New York City.

Petitions Against the Johnston Sunday Bill

Now is the time to circulate petitions against the Johnston Sunday bill, which will, without doubt, be taken up for passage during the early part of the next session of Congress. This session begins December 7, and closes March 4. Petition blanks may be secured from the Religious Liberty Bureau, and when the work with them is finished, they should be sent to the representative of the district in which they were secured. Faithful work with the petitions may result in postponing the passage of this and similar bills a little longer, thus facilitating the giving of the message and hastening the close of the work.

Thanksgiving Week Review Special

By Editor

ON the second page of this paper will be found a sample page from the special number of the REVIEW, to be distributed during Thanksgiving week. It may be proper to state that this is simply an average page, and will give our people a correct idea of the appearance of the whole paper, every page of which, with the exception of the second and the last, is as fully illustrated and as attractive in appearance as the one here shown. If space had permitted, many other features might have been incorporated in this special issue, but those who have carefully examined it are of the opinion that, as a whole, it will give a very adequate and impressive view of our work throughout the world. From all parts of the field we learn that the plan for the Thanksgiving week campaign is being adopted with much enthusiasm, and we are hopeful of large results.
