Arizona Sunday Barber Shop Bill

WE take the following from a letter dated April 4, from Elder H. G. Thurston, president of the Arizona Conference:—

“Last week a bill to close all barber shops on Sunday was introduced in the Arizona House. The committee on labor, to which it had been referred, gave us a hearing Tuesday night of this week. We trust good may come to the cause of truth by this agitation. Elder Healey and Brother Blunt, of California, are here. We shall meet the measure in the senate, should it pass the house. We have arranged for a mass-meeting in the finest hall in Phoenix, to be held next Sunday night. We are furnishing each member of the legislature with ‘American State Papers.’”

News from Constantinople and General Conference

A CARD from Pastor L. R. Conradi, dated Constantinople, Turkey, March 29, contains the following encouraging information: “During the last week we have had very good meetings in Constantinople and Bardizag, Asia Minor. All our leading workers of the Turko-Grecian field were present. A native, Pastor Ayvasion, was ordained, and a new mission field, the Cilician, was organized. Prospects for the success of the work are brighter than ever.” We can but rejoice at the entrance or organization of every new field, and pray God’s blessing upon those entering the newly opened doors.

DURING last week the General Conference Committee held a number of meetings, on the return of the brethren from the Pacific Coast. Among other important recommendations, it was voted to hold the autumn council in Washington, beginning Wednesday, September 18, and continuing ten days. The council is appointed a little earlier this year, as requested by the brethren in Europe.

Dr. Dunscombe’s Further Study in Edinburgh

Dr. W. C. DUNSCOMBE, under appointment to South Africa, writes from Edinburgh, Scotland, where he passed his examination for the British degree, that he expects to remain there about three months longer in further study and practise. His family left for South Africa nearly a month ago.

Progress for God’s Cause in Syria

On a post-card from Beirut, Syria, near where once stood the proud city of Tyre, Brother Guy Dail writes, March 14: “Thousands left this city on the 29th ult. [the day of bombardment] and since. There is no real quiet here yet, all is expectation, and there is much uncertainty. I have met a number of interested persons who have been studying with Brother Ising. The workers seem of good cheer. They need an interest in the prayers of God’s children. There are omens of progress for God’s cause in this land.”

Review and Herald Constituency Meeting

THE constituency meeting of the Review and Herald Publishing Association is being held this week at Pittsburgh, Pa., in connection with the meetings of the West Pennsylvania and Columbia Union Conferences.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story

ONE of our conference tract society secretaries, in a letter just received, speaks as follows with reference to “Easy Steps in the Bible Story”: “I have just finished examining the new book ‘Easy Steps,’ and am greatly pleased with it.” This voices the sentiment of scores of others. Have you seen a copy? It is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that we have. Write your tract society for a prospectus and canvasser’s outfit.

Ohio Sunday Observance Hearing Canceled

ELDER K. C. RUSSELL, on his return from the meetings of the Pacific Union Conference, stopped at Columbus, Ohio, to attend a hearing before the Constitutional Convention on the question of enforced Sunday observance. Just before the hour set for the hearing the chairman of the committee announced that, owing to the State-wide opposition to the proposal, there would be no hearing. Protests and memorials against any such measure had been sent in to the committee from all parts of the State.

Correction to The Seventh Year of Artaxerxes

By Editor

Our attention has been called to an error in the article entitled “The Seventh Year of Artaxerxes,” which appeared in the REVIEW of Feb. 22, 1912. In the first extract, commencing toward the bottom of the first column on page 9, the second full sentence should read as follows:—

“And the principle on which Ptolemy’s Canon is constructed is to reckon each king’s reign as beginning on the first day of the first month (thoth) of the year in which that king succeeded to the throne,” etc.

Those who are preserving this article for reference should be sure to make this correction.

Eighty-Nine Subscriptions Secured

ELDER R. L. HOUSE, of Nebraska, sends in eighty-nine subscriptions for the Protestant and Liberty, and is still at work securing many more. He writes, “I secured these by a little personal interest and effort, and feel amply repaid.”

Laurel Health Cookery Price Correction

By Editor

The price of the cook-book “Laurel Health Cookery,” noticed on this page in our issue of March 28, should have been given as $1.75 and $2.25. Those desiring to send for a copy of the book will please make note of this change in the price given.

St. Helena Sanitarium Reports Prosperity

THE sanitarium at St. Helena, in its annual meeting just held, reports a very prosperous year. In the manager's report we note this statement, following a list of encouraging figures: “Therefore we are warranted in making the statement that the reproach of debt, which has so long been a burden to our institution and a source of discouragement to our workers and church people generally, has been rolled away.” We are gratified to hear such encouraging news from the St. Helena Sanitarium. By devoting one tenth of the net earnings to foreign missions, the institution has been able to expend in the Orient, under the direction of the Mission Board, five thousand dollars. This money has provided homes for medical missionaries and better equipment in medical work in China and Korea.

A Good Report

EARLY last week there came to our desk a report from one of our canvassers working in the mountain section of Eastern Pennsylvania. We believe it will be of interest to our readers. The agent writes as follows: “I am writing this in a little country post-office. I have been out in the mountains with ‘Desire of Ages,’ and have sold over ninety dollars’ worth of books thus far this week.” The colporteurs who are handling our subscription books are being greatly blessed with good orders, and the reports coming to us are considerably increased over past years. There is still plenty of room for others to join in this good work.

A Call for Ten Men

APRIL 9 the General Conference Committee passed the following recommendation:—

“Voted, That the Publishing Department of the General Conference be authorized to secure ten experienced bookmen, and arrange with them to come to the Foreign Mission Seminary next autumn, to take a course of special training for foreign fields.”

This action was taken in response to urgent calls which come from China, India, Argentina, Brazil, Central America, and the West Indies. Those who are interested in these calls may correspond with N. Z. Town, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
