GOOD HEALTH.

By Editor

J. H. KELLOGG, M. D., Editor.

This popular health journal enters upon its fifteenth volume with the most flattering prospects for a continuation of the prosperity that has attended its publication in the past. It has for several years enjoyed the

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY HEALTH JOURNAL IN AMERICA,

and its publishers are determined, not only to maintain the high position already attained, but to greatly increase its circulation the coming year, and thus enlarge its field of usefulness.

During the year each number will contain a large amount of valuable and interesting matter on the subjects of Health, Temperance, Popular Science, General Literature, and other topics of interest. The practical information in its pages on Sanitary Science, Public and Domestic Hygiene, and topics of kindred nature, gives it a scope and field of usefulness peculiar to itself, and unoccupied by any other journal.

AN ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE

on practical hygiene, or some other topic of general interest, will appear in each number, as a new and permanent feature of the journal in the future. In addition to this the Department of Questions and Answers, which has contributed so much to the success of the journal in the past, will be revived in a practically useful form, and made more valuable than ever before.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR.

PREMIUM FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS.—The “Household Manual,” a work of great value as a book of ready reference, packed full of practical information, and sold at retail for 75 cents, is offered to new subscribers with GOOD HEALTH for one year, for $1.25. We regard this as the best premium offer ever made, as the book alone is well worth the subscription price of the journal, and 25 cents extra secures both. Specimen copies of the journal will be sent free to any address on application.

PROVIDENCE permitting, there will be a T. and M. Institute held at Sigourney, Iowa, April 2-12. Meetings commence Sabbath evening, the regular instructions of the Institute, the evening following. We expect all our ministers will attend, and many others. (See article in this issue.)

Eld. B. L. Whitney will be present. Instructions will be given in the Sabbath-school work, in keeping church, S. S., and Conference books, and in music. This will be an excellent opportunity for instruction, and it should be improved. GEO. I. BUTLER.

The quarterly meeting of the T. and M. society of Dist. No. 4, Neb., will be held with the Richmond church. The church quarterly meeting will be held in connection with it to accommodate members at a distance who wish to attend both meetings. We hope all the brethren will make an extra effort to attend. Hope to meet Bro. Boyd; Bro. Starr will be in attendance. Would be glad to have the brethren from Norton Co., Kansas, meet with us.

It will be necessary for all the directors, district secretaries, and ministers to be present. Librarians and colporters should also attend. This meeting is located at Dunkirk, so that we may have a large attendance of the Sabbath-keepers in Eld. Rupert’s district, as few of them have attended our other meetings. Competent instructors will be present to teach in the various branches of the work. D. M. CANRIGHT.

TRACT AND MISSIONARY INSTITUTE IN IOWA.

By George I. Butler

We have secured the services of Eld. B. L. Whitney to hold a T. and M. Institute in Iowa, continuing over two Sabbaths, from April 2 to 12. This meeting will be held at Sigourney, Keokuk Co.

We desire the presence of all the ministers in the State who can attend without plain evidence that duty leads elsewhere. We want as many as possible of the directors, secretaries, and librarians to attend, and all others who are interested in the T. and M. work. It will be said that this is a very unfavorable time to secure a general attendance. We know it; and hence we have not appointed the meeting with the expectation that it will continue as long as other Institutes which have been held, and which will be held in the future. We do not at this time expect a general rally. It would be out of the question at this season of the year. But we expect such meetings will be held in the future; for the tract and missionary society is yet to accomplish a mighty work in the earth. It must and will succeed. It is destined to be one of the most important agencies in existence for the prosperity of this cause. Its importance has been demonstrated beyond all cavil. In order to fulfill its mission, these T. and M. Institutes are an absolute necessity. I expect to see them held in the near future in all parts of the field. Our people must be educated, to make this great work a success.

Eld. Whitney is having excellent success as a teacher in this branch of the work. He has a little over a week which he can spend with us in Iowa, and give us the benefit of his knowledge and experience. Should we let this occasion pass without improvement, we should neglect a precious opportunity. Though while sowing and planting are in progress, the season is not favorable for a general rally of our people, perhaps there is no time in the year when our ministers could better be spared from their labors in the cause. No doubt many others can come then as well as at any time, and we want all such to attend by all means. But we especially urge all our preaching brethren in the State who expect to labor in the future to be sure to come. The instruction will be specially calculated to help them. We must have the help of all our brethren in the ministry to rouse our people to the importance of this branch of the work. We want them to instruct our T. and M. officers wherever they labor. How can they do this, unless they thoroughly understand it themselves? Let us have a full attendance at Sigourney, April 2–12.

GEO. I. BUTLER, Pres. Iowa T. and M. Society.

THE CONFERENCE.

IN another part of this paper will be found a report of the business proceedings of the special session of the General Conference just closed. Though but few came in especially to attend the Conference, brethren from various States were already here, so that the field was as well represented as is usual in the regular annual sessions. And all entered with interest into the consideration of the important subjects which came up for action. Every move was carefully and prayerfully considered; and if the recommendations of the Conference are carried out, we believe they will have a molding influence upon the cause which will result in great good.

The best of feeling and good cheer prevailed throughout. And we were happy to see a greater degree of freedom than usual in canvassing the subjects which came up for consideration. They were viewed from every side, and apparently all that need be said for or against was presented. Had the remarks been reported the reader would have had good sermons on the various questions which were considered.

Sabbath was a day of unusual interest. Bro. White spoke on the position, privileges, and responsibilities of men as ambassadors for Christ. In the afternoon a portion of the time was spent in social meeting, and the remainder in examination of candidates for baptism. Four precious young men, two of them students mentioned in last week’s report, came forward, desiring this ordinance, and at their special request Bro. White acted as administrator. The baptism passed off pleasantly and impressively, in presence of the large concourse of people who lined the banks of the river. In the stand these young men have taken, a triumph has been gained at which we all rejoice.

The brethren who have attended the Institute and Conference now go to their fields of labor hopeful for the future, and confident in new plans and determinations for the advancement of the work the coming season.

MINNESOTA T. AND M. INSTITUTE.

By H. Grant; B. L. Whitney

The Minnesota Tract and Missionary Institute will be held at Medford, commencing Wednesday evening, March 24, and continuing till Wednesday evening, March 31.

It is especially desired that there should be a general attendance of the ministers and district officers, as the special object of this Institute will be to give such instruction in reference to the work as will enable those who shall attend to labor more efficiently to build up the interests of the T. and M. work in the great State of Minnesota.

We sincerely hope that all who can do so will attend, and we particularly urge the ministers, directors, and district secretaries, as far as possible, to be present. Let all librarians who can do so attend; and each church, as far as consistent, be represented. We would call attention to the action of the General Conference in reference to the importance of this work, and we trust the Minnesota Conference will not be behind others in this good and great work. Let there be as general a representation as possible. H. GRANT. B. L. WHITNEY.

NOT A PLEASANT SEAT.

The situation in Russia is we think about as aptly expressed as language can put it, in the following sentence from the Christian Union of March 3:—

“The Tsar has got tired of trying to prevent the escape of steam from the boiler by sitting on the safety valve, and has honored a substitute by asking him to sit there instead.”

This substitute, Gen. Melikoff, has already experienced one actual attempt on his life, with plenty of threats for the future.

HOW SOME PERSONS PRACTICE SELF-DENIAL.

By A. S. H.

While reflecting on the expenditures of some persons and families who do but little or nothing for the spread of present truth, the following circumstance comes to mind, which well illustrates how some persons practice self-denial: A minister had been speaking of the duty of each of his hearers to practice some self-denial, and thereby be able to contribute something to the object which he had presented before them. The audience were discussing the matter, and deciding what each one should deny himself of, when a youth resolved to deny himself of pickled herring, as he never had any relish for that article of food. A. S. H.
