Week of Prayer Readings
By Editor
WE are able to present to our readers this week a paper of thirty-two pages instead of twenty-four. This number contains the Week of Prayer Readings, which will be read with deep interest by all. In consequence of so much space being devoted to these readings, it has been necessary for us to omit some of our regular departments, and vary the order of others.
Young Africans Need Our Help
Who that has given for African missions is not glad to have had a part in leading young Xiba out of darkness into light? The message he sends—given on this page—is the message that hundreds of young Africans would send us. There are thousands of these youth now in our African schools, and money is needed to keep the work spreading.
Health and Temperance Work in Washington
By Editor
We are glad to note that some of our physicians are finding openings for health and temperance work in connection with outside organizations and societies. We have received an announcement of the District of Columbia Department of Health and Heredity, of which Dr. Patience Bourdeau-Sisco is the district superintendent. This announces nearly a dozen meetings to be held in different churches in the city of Washington during the coming winter, in which various phases of health and temperance will be discussed by Dr. Bourdeau-Sisco, and by other physicians and public workers who have consented to aid her in this propaganda in behalf of health principles. This is work which should bring good results.
Annual Offering for Missions
The last Sabbath of the week of prayer is the day for the annual offering for missions. Let us pray for liberal gifts befitting the needs of the work in this time when the last things are being done. It is time in real earnest to transfer every available resource to the bank of heaven. Let every isolated believer send a gift for missions to the church or conference treasurer, or failing knowledge of the address, send to W. T. Knox, treasurer of the General Conference, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
Announcements Relating to Our Publications
By Editor
By no means the least interesting of the excellent matter presented in this number of the REVIEW are the announcements relating to our publications, given on pages 2, 30, and 31. Examine these prices and see what a splendid line of literature in the way of periodicals, magazines, books, etc., is awaiting, perhaps, your perusal, and your efforts in extending their circulation among your friends. Service is the complement of prayer.
