The latest special issue of The Watchman has for its key-note, “The morning cometh,” and is devoted to the presentation of the truths which naturally cluster about “that blessed hope,” and which constitute the fundamental features of the third angel’s message. This number is printed in colors, and is attractive in appearance. The leading articles are the following:—
The Messages of Revelation 14, Geo. I. Butler; The Kingdom of Christ, Mrs. E. G. White; “The Morning Cometh,” L. A. Smith; Armageddon, P. T. Magan; Immortality through Christ, J. S. Washburn; Christ and the Sabbath, K. C. Russell; Peace or War, Which, C. P. Bollman; The Last Generation, S. N. Haskell; The World-Wide Missionary Movement as a Sign of the End, W. A. Spicer; The Millennium, or Order of Events in the Judgment, R. W. Parmele; An Important Work in Heaven, G. B. Thompson.
Besides these there are a number of poems and short articles, and also some special features. The retail price of this issue is ten cents, with liberal reduction to agents. Orders may be placed through the usual channels. We hope this special may have the large circulation which it deserves.
A Day of Fasting and Prayer
By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells
It was announced in last week's REVIEW that it seemed best to such of the General Conference Committee as could get together, to appoint the first Sabbath of the week of prayer as a day of fasting for our people. We are sorry that this decision was not made earlier, so that more might have been said about it, and that all might have given it more thought. We have sent a letter to all our ministers and church elders, giving a number of reasons why our people should at this time seek the Lord with solemn fasting and earnest prayer. It was intended that this letter should be read in all the churches Sabbath, December 7. But fearing that it may not have reached the churches more remote from our office, it is thought best to publish the greater part of it in this number of the REVIEW, and it will be found on the sixth page. We request all to give this matter earnest, prayerful consideration. The object of fasting and prayer is to express to our merciful Father in heaven our sense of our great needs, and our great desire for help. When this expression is made by us, we shall gladly receive and rightly use the help given. A. G. DANIELLS.
Workers’ Convention in New York City
FROM a notice received too late for insertion in this issue of the REVIEW, we learn that a workers’ convention will be held in New York City, December 23-29, for the joint benefit of the workers in the Greater New York and New Jersey Conferences. A full statement will appear next week.
