Orders for Spanish Books

By Charles H. Jones

It is truly wonderful the way our Spanish work is developing. It keeps the Pacific Press hustling to fill orders. During 1908 we sold about $15,000 worth of Spanish publications; during 1909, $25,000 worth; and during the first five months of this year the sales have already amounted to $43,000. A recent order from Argentina calls for 1,000 copies of “Patriarchs and Prophets,” 1,000 copies of “Home and Health,” and about 5,000 Spanish tracts. An order from Bolivia calls for 300 copies of “Home and Health.”

C. H. JONES.

Great Britain

By W. W. White

You will be pleased to learn that there are about twenty-five young men now in the canvassing field who were attending our college last year. Twenty of these are working for a scholarship. One young man in eleven days took orders for ninety-seven copies of “Great Controversy.” He has delivered all but five copies, which gives him a scholarship in full during the eleven days.

International Tract Society,

W. W. WHITE, Secretary.

Seminary Students

By E. R. NUMBERS.

One student from the Foreign Mission Seminary earned his scholarship in ten days, and another from the same school sold $107 worth of books in one week. We feel very grateful for this good beginning, and sincerely pray that every canvasser will do his part.

E. R. NUMBERS.

Southwestern Union

By W. W. Eastman

You will observe that our report falls just a little short of the one for May last year, but you will also remember that our students were in the field one month earlier last year than this. They were all canvassing during the month of May. These sales have been made this year without student help.

W. W. EASTMAN.

Southeastern Union

By V. O. Cole

We are very grateful for what the Lord is doing for us in this part of the field. This report for May is the largest we have ever sent in. The largest previous report was for April of last year, which amounted to $5,066.20. May the Lord help us to continue faithful, that we may triumph with his work.

V. O. COLE.

Thirteen Liberty Subscriptions

Some one was thoughtful enough to send one of our brethren in Baltimore, Md., a complimentary copy of Liberty for the second quarter of 1910. After reading it through, he became so enthusiastic over its contents that it took him only half an hour to secure thirteen yearly subscriptions.

Current Mention

— The report of the cotton crop shows that the present planted area exceeds that of last year by 904,000 acres.

— Professor Vincent has announced before the Academy of Medicine, Paris, France, his discovery of an effective anti-typhoid vaccine.

— June 20, by a collapse of a section of the timber work in the underground passages of a mine in Nova Scotia, 35 miners were entombed.

— On June 20 the Statehood bill, providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to the Union, was signed by President Taft. Two more stars are thus added to the flag.

— A revolutionary movement has developed in the northern part of Mexico. The leaders have been arrested, and a quantity of ammunition seized.

— King George V, who was 45 years old on June 3, has announced that the official celebration of his birthday will occur hereafter on June 24, the same date on which his father's birthday was celebrated. The coronation will take place in May, 1911.

— A daring attempt at bank robbery was made in Friedburg, Hesse, on the afternoon of June 22. A bomb was exploded in the city hall, and in the confusion following, the robber entered an adjoining bank, shot the manager, secured a quantity of bank-notes, and fled. Pursued, he shot himself.

— June 20, near Huntington, Ind., a party of seven children, the oldest a girl of seventeen, taken for an automobile ride by a twelve-year-old boy, met with a serious accident. The boy was making the car “wobble” from one side of the road to the other, when the machine overturned. One girl was killed instantly, and the rest of the party received serious injuries.

— The long-continued heavy rains caused a rise in the Potomac River, which, on June 18, reached a height 6 feet above high-water mark. This is the highest point since 1889, when the waters of the river flooded Pennsylvania Avenue, and rowboats were used for the transportation of travelers and sightseers. Considerable damage has been done to property and shipping on the District side of the river.

— Bread is now made from cotton-seed-meal, or flour; and a series of experiments is being carried on by the War Department looking to the adoption of the new bread as an army ration. Those who favor it declare it to be both wholesome and cheap, the chief objections to its use being matters of “palate and prejudice.” Attention is called to the familiar fact that a liking for many common and some delicious articles of food, among which are celery, olives, bananas, tomatoes, okra, cantaloupes, etc., must often be acquired.

— Activity marks the customs offices in New York City. Passengers returning from travel or a longer or shorter residence abroad are held strictly to the law for paying customs duties; and all attempts to evade or dissemble are promptly met with arrest and imprisonment. Many prominent persons have, during the past few weeks, suffered arrest and trial, and have paid heavy fines in addition to the regular import duties, for attempting to bring into the United States clothing, jewels, etc., purchased abroad. Federal officers have recently started a crusade against a prominent firm of importers in New York City, charged with attempting to defraud the government. For the quarter ending March 31, approximately $2,400,000 had been received in duties, fines, etc., as against $106,000 the previous year.

— What is regarded as the most practical performance in aeronautics so far realized occurred on June 22, when the “Deutschland,” a giant dirigible of the Zeppelin type, made its first voyage in regular passenger service. The “Deutschland” carried twenty passengers, and covered the 300 miles from Friedrichshafen to Dusseldorf in nine hours, cutting the fastest railroad time more than one third for a part of the distance. The “Deutschland” has a luxurious cabin, and is furnished with a regular dining service. Its length is 485 feet; width, 46 feet. “Its gas capacity is 24,852 cubic yards, and it carries three motors, having a total of 330 horsepower. It was designed to maintain a speed of 35 miles an hour. Its lifting capacity is 44,000 pounds, of which 11,000 pounds cover the crew, passengers, and express. It is expected to be able to accomplish a continuous trip of 700 miles.” Regular trips will be made, and a number of tickets for the first few days have already been sold at from $25 to $50 each.

A New Opportunity for City Workers

To meet an urgent demand for a short medical missionary training to fit consecrated women to engage in self-supporting missionary nursing among those of moderate means in our large cities, the Hinsdale Sanitarium and the Illinois Conference have organized, in the city of Chicago, a special six months' training-school, which will open July 10. The old branch sanitarium at 28 Thirty-third Place has been secured for this purpose. It has been thoroughly renovated, and will be used as a home for the students.

The Illinois Conference will supply Bible and general missionary instruction; the faculty of the Hinsdale Sanitarium will give the medical training. Mature, substantial women who feel a call of God to carry the gospel to our large cities, should write at once for full information. Address Dr. David Paulson, Hinsdale, Ill., or Elder Wm. Covert, 324 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill.

Professor Prescott Takes Rest

By Editor

BEING somewhat broken down physically as a result of Sister Prescott's sickness and death, Prof. W. W. Prescott finds it necessary to go aside for a short time in order to gain the needed rest, and has accordingly gone to Maine for the summer. Brother Prescott has been under a severe strain of work for many years, and has often labored beyond his strength in the discharge of the heavy responsibilities resting upon him. Particularly has this been true in the removal to Washington, with the consequent inconvenience and lack of proper help and facilities in building up the work in a new place. In all these changes, and in the trials through which this movement has passed during that time, our brother has stood as a faithful sentinel, loyal to the cause of this message. He deserves a rest from these burdens, and we only wish that it did not have to be taken under the cloud of a great sorrow. Let the prayers of all attend him, that he may soon be restored to physical vigor, and again take his place in the active prosecution of this movement to which he has dedicated his life. To all those who have written and telegraphed him so kindly, he desires us to express his appreciation of their sympathy, as he has been unable to answer the letters received. Any mail addressed to him as usual will be forwarded. As he finds time and strength, Brother Prescott will continue his contributions to the editorial columns of the REVIEW.

“DISHONORING the Flag,” “The Causes of the Great War Between Russian and Japan,” “What It Means for the President of a Republic to Visit Rome,” and many other interesting articles go to make up the July Watchman. This magazine contains excellent matter, is well illustrated, and should meet with a hearty reception by all.

European Camp-Meeting Reports

THE editor of the REVIEW, W. A. Spicer, who is attending the European camp-meetings, reports excellent meetings in the various gatherings he has visited throughout Europe. In a personal note written from Finland, he says: “This is my first round in Scandinavia. I have had to speak in English, a brother putting it into Swedish, and then another from Swedish into Finnish; but the word of the Lord works just the same as if there were no translation. It has been a fine meeting.” There are no limitations to the message of truth. It is going with power to-day to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.

THE first school announcement for 1910-11 to reach us is that of the Washington Foreign Mission Seminary. This school occupies a unique position in our educational work, in that its chief purpose is to afford a short and as far as possible thorough preparation to young men and women who are planning to enter upon work soon in other lands. A large per cent of its students thus far have entered foreign fields, and the prospect for the enrolment of a large number of such students for the next year is most encouraging. It would be well for every one who expects soon to enter upon work in other lands, to plan to spend one or two years at the Foreign Mission Seminary. A copy of the announcement may be obtained by addressing the president, Prof. J. L. Shaw, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
