NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS
Value of Medical Missions
By L. A. H.
In a report in the Washington Times of June 24, of the Baptist World Alliance, held at Philadelphia, appears a statement that is indicative of the importance of medical missionary work, as viewed by others. Rev. C. E. Wilson, of England, general secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society, is quoted as saying:—
“Without laying any exaggerated claims on their behalf, we can and do rejoice that the place of medical missions in the thought and affection, and in the support and personal service, of Christians to-day, is higher than it has ever previously been. Every missionary society sees the importance of employing its help on the foreign fields.”

West Virginia Camp-Meeting
By F. H. Robbins
THE West Virginia camp-meeting will be held on Seventh and Mark streets in Parkersburg, W. Va., Sept. 28 to Oct. 8, 1911. The new brick church building will be used instead of a tent for the regular services. Meals will be served in a dining-tent. Those planning to come should order rooms or tents early, so that they may be properly provided for when they come. The meeting will be late in the season, and it will be advisable to live in rooms, as it may be cold and damp. We think rooms can be furnished cheaper than tents.
Prof. B. G. Wilkinson has promised to attend this meeting, and a number of other General Conference workers are expected. Begin at once to plan to be present at this spiritual feast. Order rooms or tents from S. F. Ross, 1600 Andrew St., Parkersburg, W. Va.

The August "Signs"
By Editor
A Forest Fire by Moonlight
A REPRODUCTION in colors of a valuable oil-painting by one of California’s well-known artists, illustrating a forest fire, with the Mount of the Holy Cross (a Colorado scene) in the distance, forms the cover page for the August Signs Monthly.
In connection with this striking cover is an important article by A. O. Tait on the subject of “Fire in History and Prophecy.” The destructive elements of fire and water. The ancient world was destroyed by water; the present world is to be destroyed by fire. Its place in fulfilled and fulfilling prophecy. An important article.
“The Sabbath—Its Real Significance,” by Mrs. Adelaide D. Wellman, a well-known writer, new among Signs contributors. The Sabbath truth is given in a new and interesting setting, and will appeal to thinking people. Its object, both before and since the fall of man. Its service to humanity. The purpose of its restoration in this closing age. Just the thing for your neighbors and townspeople.
“This Generation Shall Not Pass,” by the editor. The generation referred to by Christ, and the prophecy of Christ with reference to it, are portrayed. Many illustrations are drawn from history to show what God has done in single generations. These are presented in order to bring more clearly to the reader the work God will accomplish in this generation. A good, strong article.
The universal proclamation of the gospel in this generation, accompanied by a terrible religious declension. These two contrasting and apparently impossible conditions as a sign of the times are reviewed in a telling way by Frank S. Weston.
T. E. Bowen contributes a candid, logical, and forceful article on the subject “Are Seventh-day Adventists False Teachers and Impostors?” A regular message article, and one that deserves a place in every home in your community.
“He Is About to Sound,” by M. C. Wilcox. For centuries the history of the world has run on schedule time. The present time in the schedule. Important.
William Covert continues his studies in Old Testament history. Dr. Paulson contributes a helpful article on the beginning of the modern health movement,—“The Origin of Graham Bread.” Mrs. E. G. White writes on “The Netherlands and the Reformation;” and E. E. Andross of “Significant Events.” The second instalment of “All Past Time,” by the editor, shows definite creation. The number closes with several pages of interesting current topics.
Send the tract society secretary a dollar, and have twenty copies mailed to you, or fifty for two dollars.
Indications are that the circulation of the July number will exceed that of any single number in the history of the Signs Monthly magazine. The August number merits an even greater circulation. Every little helps. Order a few copies now through your tract society.
The “Watchman”
By Editor
The Present Truth Evangelizer
THE August issue of the Watchman will deal with the great conflict between capital and labor, which is the leading question of the hour, as crystallized in the great trial of labor leaders now charged with dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building. The matter will be discussed by the editor in a striking article entitled “The Widening Gulf.” The ever-widening breach between the people and the money power is described, and its relationship to prophecy is shown with thrilling interest.
FACSIMILE OF FIRST COVER PAGE
“Church Versus Labor Union” is a strong editorial on the true relationship of the church to labor unions, setting forth with striking clearness the effort of labor to uplift humanity through organization, and how the church has neglected her mission by entering the realm of politics and enforced religion.
“Patience in Perplexity, or Tokens of the End,” by C. P. Bollman, shows that the fearful unrest and discontent permeating the masses are but the ominous mutterings of the coming storm. We must, therefore, “be patient . . . unto the coming of the Lord” (James 5:7); for these conditions just precede that glorious event.
“The Swing of the Pendulum, and Then Armageddon,” by J. E. Fulton, portrays with absorbing interest the acute conditions in the far East. The “pendulum” of Anglo-Saxon conquest has for centuries swung far eastward, bringing nearly all Asia under its sway. It has reached the outer circle; for the defeat of the Russians turned all eyes upon Japan, who, rising up in the strength of her new nationalism, thrust back the great Caucasian tide that threatened to engulf her, and sent the pendulum with mighty impetus upon its return swing, sounding the cry, “Asia for the Asiatics!”
This issue will represent our best effort, and unusual pains has been taken to make it bear a great message to the struggling millions.
Get twenty-five copies of this number of the Watchman, and distribute them among your laboring friends. It will appeal to the bread-winner.
Rates to agents: 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents each; 50 or more, one address, 4 cents each. Order early through your conference tract society.
The “Gospel Sentinel”
By Editor
A Pioneer Missionary Weekly
An inexpensive and aggressive paper presenting the truth for this time in a clear, pointed manner.
It is invaluable to the local missionary as an entering wedge, and presents various phases of present truth in short, pithy articles that appeal to the inquiring mind.
Besides the editorial comment and regular articles on different points of doctrine, it contains splendid studies in Revelation, Bible readings on subjects of vital importance, and many other good features.
It is designed that through this paper those unacquainted with our truth can, by reading a few issues, obtain a clear knowledge of its fundamentals.
Our three salient points: (1) A missionary weekly of great simplicity; (2) can be had at small expense; (3) it presents the truth.
The next few issues will be of particular interest.
