A BROTHER, recently sending an offering for missions, wrote that around the breakfast table that morning the conversation had been on our Nyassaland Mission, and as a result, a friend visiting them became so interested that he added one dollar and a half to their family contribution of two dollars, all of which was enclosed.

What could be more fitting, or more pleasing to the angels than such a scene,—the father, mother, and children gathered around the family board, enjoying God's bounties, with thoughts all turned to his great work in the earth? This is the way genuine missionary characters are developed.

Children will have no desire to spend their pennies foolishly, nor, as they grow older, to engage in worldly enterprises, if the needs and abundant opportunities in the great fields beyond become so familiar, and are made so fascinating. In such a home there will be not only an increased interest in missions, but deeper spirituality and greater liberality, and even more—converted children, who will be ready to respond to the Macedonian call for help, “Here am I; send me.”

Assignment of Stock

By Editor

IT is well known to the readers of the REVIEW that our work is being opened up in Washington. At the Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association’s stockholders’ meeting last spring, recommendations were passed favoring the closing out of the corporation’s business in Battle Creek, settling with all its creditors and shareholders, and turning the balance of the assets over to a new corporation created in the East.

A new corporation has been organized, under the statutes of the District of Columbia, located at Washington, D. C. It is a non-dividend paying and a non-stock company. It is now publishing THE REVIEW AND HERALD, The Youth’s Instructor, and The Sentinel of Christian Liberty.

An outfit of machinery has been installed, save printing presses, and the work is now assuming a businesslike proportion that is indeed encouraging.

Early next spring they expect to begin the building of a printing plant at Takoma Park. As soon as that is completed, they will move to that place, where it is hoped the work will be permanently located. It is desired to move the present facilities of the Review and Herald Publishing Company, of Battle Creek, to this plant as part equipment, and to assist in starting the work.

Before this can be done, we must settle with all our creditors, and with those stockholders who are unwilling to allow their interests to be transferred.

It is hoped that all our people will allow their stock to be transferred to the new association, so that it may be continued in the cause of God. We are very anxious to facilitate this transfer, that the assets of the old association may be conserved to assist in the new.

Our people generally seem willing to make this assignment of stock. Some have not done it yet. We earnestly request that any who are willing to do this and have not yet attended to it, will see that it is done at once.

On the back of your certificate of stock you will find some printed matter. Either sign your name at the bottom of the printed matter, and leave the rest blank, or put in the date, and write the name of I. H. Evans, Trustee, in the blank line for such purpose, and then sign your name, and send the certificate to I. H. Evans, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich., and he will send you a trust bond, binding himself to transfer the same to the Washington enterprise as soon as all claims are settled. We wish all our people would give this matter their prompt attention.

All inquiries should be addressed to I. H. Evans, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

The Week of Prayer

By W. A. Spicer

It is hoped that the readings for the week of prayer, December 12-19, may be sent to church elders next week. Will not the elders watch for this matter in their mails, so that we may make sure of having every company supplied? One day in the program of readings is devoted to a missionary experience service, so that, in connection with the Bible studies presented, members may contribute their own experiences in the missionary campaign. The readings will also be sent to our ministerial laborers, who are requested to make sure that such matter shall be forwarded to them if they are away from the place of address. Envelopes for the annual offering will be sent as soon as possible to church elders for distribution on December 12. What is put into these envelopes means so much to every mission station we have and to the souls waiting for us out in the darkness, that surely believers will plan in earnest to meet the call of need.

W. A. SPICER, Secretary.

Seven Weeks Free

By Editor

ALL new subscribers for the Youth's Instructor who send seventy-five cents for the paper for the year 1904, will receive free the last seven papers of 1903.

Thus each new subscriber will get all the articles in the new series for boys, entitled “Around the Work-Table,” which are now appearing in the paper. These articles tell how to make a Climbing Sailor, a Weaving Machine, an Electric Machine, a Modern Kite, a Hand Bracket Saw, Artificial Ice, etc.

Send your subscription to-day, so the boys may make these articles and perform the experiments described.

We offer a Bible free to any one who will secure five new yearly subscriptions for the Instructor, remitting to us therefor $3.75. This Bible is well bound in leather, has type large enough for any one to read whose sight is ordinarily good; and being printed on India paper, it is very thin and light, making it convenient to carry. It has references, but no other helps, except maps. Write for full particulars.

Address your State Tract Society, or the Youth's Instructor, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C.

Missionary Convention Reading

By Editor

Some matter for the missionary conventions came to the office of the committee of arrangement in California too late for inclusion in the program of reading sent to the churches. It will appear, we hope, in the next REVIEW, and will still be appropriate for reading in the churches in connection with the missionary campaign now being inaugurated. The work, and how to do it, at home and abroad, must be the theme from now on until the “Well done” is said by the Lord of the vineyard. If any churches or companies have been missed in the distribution of programs, let them make it known. Extra copies may be had at the General Conference office, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., if State tract societies are not able to supply the demand.

November Missionary Review

FEW can fail to be interested in the November number of The Missionary Review. The variety of the subjects treated and the uniformity of excellence make it a notable issue. “Who’s Who in Missions,” by Miss Belle M. Brain, gives a list of two hundred noted missionaries, with a few words designating that which makes them famous, or worthy of fame. Dr. H. H. Jessup, the veteran missionary of Syria, gives “Twenty Hints for Young Missionaries,” which are full of force and good sense, and which will prove valuable to many workers at home and abroad. His remarks on the missionary in politics, throws much light on the accusations made against Christians in Turkey at present. Published monthly by Funk & Wagnalls Company, 30 Lafayette Place, New York. $2.50 a year.
