Missionary Review of the World

The opening article of the Missionary Review of the World for April is a pertinent presentation of the relation of the missionaries to the conflict in the far East. Dr. Arthur J. Brown shows the attitude of the missionaries toward the contestants, and the probable effect of the war on the missionary work. Another topic of interest nearer home is that treated by President George Bailey, of Salt Lake City, on “Mormonism and How to Meet It.” Still another problem of present importance is the “Religious Condition of English-Speaking Communities” in Asia.” Published monthly by Funk & Wagnalls Company, 30 Lafayette Place, New York; $2.50 a year.

An Important Matter

By I. H. Evans

WE wish again to call the attention of the brethren and sisters throughout the field who are still holding stock in the Review and Herald of Battle Creek, to the necessity of transferring the same at as early a date as possible, in order that the property may be used for the opening up of the work in Washington. We believe that our people everywhere are friendly to the opening of the work in Washington, in harmony with the information that has been imparted in the past. Each stockholder who is friendly to the work in Washington should at once take his certificate of stock, and on the back of the same he will find some printed matter. He should sign this, writing his name as it appears in the face of the stock, put in the date, and write the name of I. H. Evans, Trustee, in the body of the printed matter, and forward the same to I. H. Evans, Battle Creek, Mich.

We are desirous of obtaining as much of this stock as our people are willing to donate. We believe that it is in harmony with the original plan that this money should remain in the publishing work, to be used for the advancement of God's cause in the earth. The stock will do the same amount of good in carrying forward the message at Washington as though the plant had remained at Battle Creek; and besides this there will be the opening up of a new field, and the carrying out of the instructions given us by the General Conference. We trust that all the friends who are interested in the progress of the Lord's work will attend to this matter at once.

I. H. EVANS.

Remonstrance Against the District Sunday Bill

WE have just learned that the District Sunday bill is delayed for one week in the Senate Committee. That is, it will receive consideration at the regular meeting of the committee on Friday, April 22. We would suggest that our people who receive this notice in time to do so send either by letter or by telegram a remonstrance against the passage by the Senate of House Bill 11,819, “An act requiring certain places of business to be closed on Sunday.” These should be sent to the senator of your State or to Senator J. H. Gallinger, Chairman of the Committee of the District of Columbia. Please act promptly, that your remonstrance may reach senators before ten o’clock on the 22d inst. We suggest the following as a suitable form of petition to be used:—

We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, twenty-one years old and over, do hereby remonstrate against the passage of House Bill No. 11,819—a bill to close certain places of business on Sunday, in the District of Columbia; believing the act to be a violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and the great principles on which our government was founded—that of complete separation of religion and the state; trusting that the members of the United States Senate will decide to permit our government to remain as it has been—the defender of religious liberty.

The One Hundred Thousand Dollar Fund

By J. S. Washburn

We have recently received from a brother in Nebraska a donation of one thousand dollars toward the building fund of the sanitarium, training-school, and General Conference offices in Washington. We believe that this will be the forerunner of many donations of the same and still larger amounts. A constant stream of smaller donations is flowing in daily. We are deeply grateful to see the means coming in before the buildings are erected. We are sure this is God's way, and that his Spirit is at work, pleading this cause with our brethren who have means to donate in large or small amounts.

We will gladly forward to each one who sends a donation to the work to the General Conference treasurer, a thirty-two page illustrated leaflet, describing the situation and the present need; also blank subscription lists, authorizing any who desire to secure funds for these enterprises. J. S. Washburn.

Spicer to Attend Pacific Camp-Meetings

It is expected that Brother W. A. Spicer will attend the camp-meetings in the Pacific Union Conference. The first of these meetings will begin May 19.

Allen Moon Works Against Sunday Law

BROTHER ALLEN MOON, of Chicago, the chairman of the Religious Liberty Bureau, has been in Washington during the past week. The passage by the House of Representatives of a Sunday law for the District of Columbia has opened the way to call the attention of congressmen to the principles involved, and Brother Moon came here to take advantage of this opportunity.

Funds Needed for Publishing Association

WE learn from Brother A. Swedberg, secretary of the International Publishing Association, of College View, Neb., that the money received at the special collection in February, in behalf of the Association, is coming in rather slowly, and he urges that this money be forwarded either as promptly as possible. The obligations of the Association are such that the funds are needed for immediate use. Prompt attention to this request will be greatly appreciated.

Camp-Meeting Dates Requested

By Editor

WE invite the officers of the union and State conferences to notify us of the date and place of the camp-meetings as soon as possible, that we may prepare the usual standing list for publication.

Testimonies for the Church, Volume VIII

If you have not already ordered a copy of “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VIII, you should do so at once. The instruction contained in this book is of great value, and it certainly ought to be read by every Seventh-day Adventist.

Cottrell and Griggs Attend Meetings

BRETHREN H. W. COTTRELL and Frederick Griggs, of South Lancaster, Mass., were in Washington last week, attending a meeting of the General Conference Committee. They left on Friday to attend the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference at Williamsport, Pa.

Review and Herald Annual Meeting

THE first annual meeting of the constituency of the Review and Herald Publishing Association of this city will be held at Berrien Springs, Mich., Tuesday, May 17, 1904. The articles of incorporation permit this meeting to be held in any part of the United States, and the session of the Lake Union Conference affords a convenient opportunity to secure a quorum of the constituency. The notice of the meeting will be found on page 23.

Christian Record Office to Move

By Editor

The publication office of The Christian Record, our paper for the blind, will be removed from Battle Creek, Mich., to College View, Neb., as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. The circulation of this paper has nearly doubled within a year, and the outlook for this part of our work is encouraging.
