HEALTH ANNUALS FOR 1880.

It is not too late to procure and distribute the Health and Temperance Annual for 1880. There are small quantities of these Annuals in the hands of some of our T. and M. officers, and there are about ten thousand yet on hand at the office. These should all be distributed before the close of February. Let all who want Annuals order at once.

S. S. OFFICERS, PLEASE NOTICE

The pastor on your Instructors, and see if it is not time to renew your subscription. The Instructor is needed in your schools and homes during 1880 just as much as in 1879. Will you see that all renew at once? or will you allow the children to go without the paper two or three weeks, and thus lose several lessons?

It is the rule on all our papers to stop them as soon as the subscription expires, and we endeavor to notify every one in time to renew. Please be prompt. We dropped seven hundred names from our list this week, and a large number of clubs will be stopped soon, unless heard from at once.

COLLEGE RECORD FOR 1880.

In a few days the first number of Vol. 4 of this paper will appear. The Record will be a four-page monthly, as promised in the last number for 1879. The subscription price will be ten cents. Since the enlargement of the REVIEW, and the introduction of an educational department into its columns, the plans of the Record for 1880 have been somewhat modified. Instead of a subscription price of 25 cts., it is reduced to 10 cts. This is done, that it may be handled extensively by our tract societies, and be sent out frequently with the Signs. The number of pages, size of page, and matter, will be just the same as promised for 25 cts.

It is intended to make the circulation of the Record reach at least six to eight thousand. We trust every tract society will make an effort to send it out in connection with the Signs.

It is intended to make this paper the organ of Battle Creek College.

1. It will contain just such College information as will be desired by young men and women who are expecting to attend school away from their homes.

2. Just such College locals and personals will be given as will be of greatest interest to those who have formerly attended Battle Creek College.

3. The reading matter upon educational topics will be of such a character as to interest parents as well as young people in the subject of education. In short, there is nothing that will be a better advertising medium for our College, if it has a proper circulation.

Though the REVIEW will contain many things on the subject of education, it will not meet the demand for advertising our College. The Record can be sent into thousands of households where the REVIEW would not be acceptable; and even were the REVIEW to be introduced into as many families, it would not attract the attention and do the work of an advertising medium of our College nearly so effectually as the Record, which is devoted wholly to that purpose.

We trust all the friends of the educational enterprise will take hold of this work in earnest, and send the Record wherever our publications may find their way.
