Australia Report and Illustrated Booklet

WRITING from Australia, Brother S. M. Cobb, formerly of West Virginia, but now president of the New South Wales Conference, says: “I am so thankful that I am here in this field, with its great needs; and despite all the difficulties and hindrances in the way of the progress of the truth, we expect to see it finished in this generation.” Faith says that we are able to do the work quickly, according to the infallible Word. This is the ground of our confidence.

WE have received a copy of the illustrated booklet, “At the Door,” by F. E. Belden. Our Lord’s great prophecy as recorded in the twenty-fourth chapter of the Gospel by Matthew constitutes the text, to which are added notes by the author, and the whole is fully illustrated. The appearance of the booklet is attractive, and it is well designed to call the attention of busy people to the great theme of the hour. Full information concerning it will be found on the second page.

The New Directory

By W. A. Spicer

OUR denominational directory for 1904 will be published very soon in year-book form. Reports from all our conferences have been received within the past few weeks. The Year Book will contain the workers' directory, statistical and other information regarding all conferences and mission fields, and data concerning organizations and institutions. Brother H. Edson Rogers has been spending much time in the effort to arrange the matter in the most convenient and helpful form for the use of our workers and others. It will be larger and more complete than former directories. It will sell for 25 cents. Orders should be sent now to your conference tract society, or to the General Conference, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C. It is desired that secretaries make up their orders very soon, so that we may know about how large an edition will be needed to supply calls during the year. While the matter is passing through the press, there will be opportunity to make any important changes in reports of addresses or organizations if corrections reach us within two weeks of this date.

W. A. SPICER, Secretary.

The Sabbath-School Worker Again

By Editor

IN harmony with the recommendation of the last General Conference, the Sabbath-School Worker will again be issued. The January number, containing helps and notes for that month's lessons, will be mailed from Washington in time to reach the schools before the new year. Notes will be supplied on the senior lessons as well as the others. Illustrated articles by Brother Pedro Lemos, giving practical instruction in blackboard drawing for the Sabbath-school, will begin in the January number. Sabbath-school workers have been earnestly calling for a journal to be especially devoted to their work, and will gladly welcome the familiar face of the Worker again. The schools that are receiving The Advocate of Christian Education, in which the Sabbath-school helps have been appearing, will now receive the Worker. The many schools not on the list should at once consider the matter, and order a club through their State secretary. A club sufficient to supply every teacher should certainly be taken. The price will be 25 cents a year in clubs of two or more to one address. Single copies, 35 cents. Prompt action should be taken so that we may have the lists made up at once, ready for mailing the January number. The Worker will be published by the Review and Herald Publishing Association, 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., to whom all orders should be sent by State offices.

Annual Week of Prayer

REMEMBER that the time for the annual week of prayer is December 12-19.

Christian Education Contributions

ALL contributions for the new department, Christian Education, should be addressed to Prof. Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.

S. D. A. Publishing Association Affairs

By Editor

The attention of the stockholders of the S. D. A. Publishing Association of Battle Creek, Mich., is called to the article on page 21 which deals with the affairs of that Association.

Sabbath-School Department Office Address

The office of the Corresponding Secretary of the Sabbath-school Department, Mrs. L. Flora Plummer, has been removed from Minneapolis, Minn., to 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., and all correspondence should now be sent to the latter address. Beginning with the January number, the Sabbath-School Worker will again be issued.

Churches for Colored People in the South

On page 17 will be found a statement concerning the plans for building two churches for the colored people in the South, and an appeal for assistance in carrying out these plans. There are surely some who will respond to this call for help. The enterprise is a worthy one, and the local believers are putting their own shoulders under the burden. Read the facts as given in the article.

Save the Boys Holiday Issue

THE publisher of the monthly journal, Save the Boys, proposes to make the holiday issue “of special value.” It will have sixteen pages, and the price will be five cents a copy. In clubs of ten or more to one address it will be furnished for two and one-half cents a copy. It is urgently requested that orders should be sent in early. Address H. F. Phelps, 118 West Minnehaha Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minn.

Addresses Needed for Falling Stars Booklets

BROTHER F. E. BELDEN desires that all who have paid for the “Falling Stars and Niagara” picture, with which the booklet “At the Door” was promised free, shall immediately send to him (at Battle Creek, Mich.) their present addresses, if changed since they received the picture. Over 5,000 of these booklets are due those who have paid for the picture; and to misdirect them now, after the long delay (caused by circumstances relating to the Review and Herald fire), would be unfortunate.

A Vigorous Campaign for Capital and Labor

By Editor

It is evident from the reports and correspondence received at this office that our people generally are taking hold of the sale of the Capital and Labor number of The Signs of the Times with much earnestness. We learn from the office of publication that they are working night and day in their effort to keep up with the orders which are pouring in upon them. This is an indication of what can be done by a united effort, and we hope the campaign will be continued with vigor during the whole winter. Tracts, pamphlets, books, and periodicals, presenting the message in clear lines, should be placed in the homes of the people by the million. The shortness of the time demands earnest work.

Evangelical Work in Washington, D.C

At the recent council of the General Conference Committee. it was recommended that the evangelical work in the District of Columbia and Takoma Park be placed under the direction of a local committee selected by the churches in that territory, and the method of choosing this committee was defined. In harmony with these recommendations the following committee has been elected: W. W. Prescott, chairman; J. S. Washburn, secretary; J. H. Neall, treasurer; L. C. Sheafe, and C. T. Shafer. In addition to the meetings already being successfully conducted by Brother Sheafe, this committee has arranged for a series of addresses to be given in the Masonic Temple on Sunday evenings, commencing Sunday evening, December 13. An earnest effort will be made to present this message with clearness to the people of this city.

From the water's fall be painted here
Minnehaha, laughing water

And the pleasant water-courses
You could trace them through the valley:
By the rushing in the spring time,
By the elders in the summer,
By the whispering in the autumn,
By the black line in the winter.
