GOOD HEALTH.

By Editor

J. H. KELLOGG, M. D., EDITOR.

This popular health journal enters upon its fifteenth volume with the most flattering prospects for a continuation of the prosperity that has attended its publication in the past. It has for several years enjoyed the

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY HEALTH JOURNAL IN AMERICA,

and its publishers are determined, not only to maintain the high position already attained, but to greatly increase its circulation the coming year, and thus enlarge its field of usefulness.

During the year each number will contain a large amount of valuable and interesting matter on the subjects of Health, Temperance, Popular Science, General Literature, and other topics of interest. The practical information in its pages on Sanitary Science, Public and Domestic Hygiene, and topics of kindred nature, gives it a scope and field of usefulness peculiar to itself, and unoccupied by any other journal.

AN ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE

on practical hygiene, or some other topic of general interest, will appear in each number, as a new and permanent feature of the journal in the future. In addition to this the Department of Questions and Answers, which has contributed so much to the success of the journal in the past, will be revived in a practically useful form, and made more valuable than ever before.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR.

PREMIUM FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS.—The “Household Manual,” a work of great value as a book of ready reference, packed full of practical information, and sold at retail for 75 cents, is offered to new subscribers with GOOD HEALTH one year, for $1.25. We regard this as the best premium ever made, as the book alone is well worth the subscription price of the journal, and 25 cents extra secures both.

Specimen copies of the journal will be sent free to any address or application.

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

A RELIGIOUS PROPHETIC JOURNAL.

This is the pioneer sheet of eight pages (the size of the Review page), circulated everywhere by our Tract and Missionary workers, at the low price of one dollar a year to the T. and M. societies only.

The conductors of the SIGNS have laid their plans to make this pioneer sheet for 1880 a power in the land. Live writers are engaged for the work. Elder Smith will give a series of articles under the significant heading, Synopsis of Present Truth. Elder White will occupy several pages of each number with sermons on Redemption through Christ, and other subjects of like importance. And besides her regular articles on Old Testament history, Mrs. White will furnish other matter in her usual forcible style.

There will be a special edition of the SIGNS of twelve pages, for old subscribers, who are generally members of our churches on the Pacific coast. This will contain the eight pages of the pioneer sheet with four pages of church matters, reports and appointments inserted, making twelve pages, which will contain nearly three hundred square inches more than the old size of eight pages. Price, invariably, $2.00 a year.

SEVEN WEEKS AT BATTLE CREEK.

By John F. Hanson

Feeble, and under the weight of depression, I came to Battle Creek seven weeks since. Under the skillful treatment of the physicians, and the care of the helpers at the Sanitarium, my health has improved, and in mingling with the brethren, and receiving the many kind attentions at the hands of Bro. White, I have been made happy and more hopeful.

And as I return to my home I can say that I am deeply impressed that the Lord is with his faithful servants who manage our several institutions in this place, and that they deserve the full sympathy and confidence of all our people. JOHN F. HANSON.

H. W. DECKER, Pres.

MINNESOTA CAMP-MEETING.

THE meeting will be held at Calhoun Lake, three miles from the city of Minneapolis, on the grounds occupied last year, and will commence on Wednesday evening, June 16. The location is a pleasant one, and easy of access from all parts of the Conference, and we earnestly request the brethren of all the churches, and the scattered brethren throughout the Conference, to make a vigorous effort to come to the meeting. We hope that our Scandinavian brethren will make a special effort to attend, as there will be able brethren present to give them instruction in their own languages. Brethren, come in season to be all ready to commence work at the first meeting, and come prepared to stay till the meeting closes. Come with a full determination to seek the Lord earnestly, and devote the time of the meeting to the work of drawing near to the Lord, that he may draw near to us, and grant us a refreshing.

Hay and grain will be furnished on the ground at as reasonable rates as they can be afforded, and the stand will be stocked with necessary provisions.

Arrangements have been completed with the following-named railroads, to carry those coming to the camp-meeting at reduced fare; viz., West Wisconsin, St. P., M. & M., St. P. & S. C., J. S. C. & St. P., M. St. L.; and negotiations are pending with the C. M. & St. P. Co., which, it is hoped will result in securing the same over its lines. If successful, notice will be given next week. For particulars, see notice given in last week’s paper. We hope for competent help from the General Conference. CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

THE Minnesota S. D. A. Conference will hold its next annual session on the camp-ground at Calhoun Lake, near Minneapolis. All the ministers, and officers of the Conference, and the delegates from the churches, are earnestly requested to be upon the ground, if possible, on Friday, the 11th of June, that the business of the Conference may be so arranged and forwarded as not to interfere with the religious interests of the camp-meeting. The delegates are requested to pass in their credentials to the Secretary, Eld. D. P. Curtis, immediately on their arrival on the ground. H. GRANT, Pres.

THE CAMP-MEETINGS.

By James White

WE design to attend the camp-meetings in Iowa Wisconsin and Minnesota. The new work, Life Sketches, will be for sale at all our camp-meetings. These meetings will be well supplied with ministerial laborers, so that but little need be expected of us, besides our special work in behalf of our institutions at Battle Creek. J. W.

TENT-MEETINGS

By James White

THE season for tent-meetings has come. Each laborer who goes out with a tent is anxious to accomplish all in his power. He will do what he can in speaking the word, and hopes for much more to be accomplished by our periodicals and publications than he can do from the stand.

We call the especial attention of all our ministers to the importance of the circulation of the REVIEW. Instead of attending all the camp-meetings we shall give particular attention to our periodicals and publications, and our institutions at Battle Creek. We shall write all we can for the REVIEW, and shall do all in our power to extend its circulation. All interested persons should be urged to take it, at $2.00 a year.

Tent preachers should strike for subscribers for the REVIEW when the interest is the highest among the people. They should be in season, and in earnest. They should obtain all the subscribers possible at full price, then offer the REVIEW to others for six months at a reduced price. For further particulars, tent preachers will please send for circular. J. W.

OVERCOMING

We were favored again last Sabbath with a discourse from Bro. White on the subject of overcoming, from Rev. 3:21. The discourse showed the important, and in a certain sense, all-controlling, position occupied in this work by the appetite. Controlled as a servant, it is one of the best gifts to man; but suffered to run with a loose rein and gain the mastery, it is the most merciless of tyrants. It was made forcibly to appear that the lesson taught by God’s dealings with the Israelites was that if God could control their appetites, he could control them in everything.

In the social meeting in the afternoon a brother made the following application of the subject. Said he, We who are actively engaged in our various trades, like to have the persons we meet “talk business.” So in spiritual things this subject of overcoming is talking business; for this is the Christian’s business.

Health and Temperance Budget Announcement

It will contain several specimen pieces of good music, being prepared for the Temperance Song Book. Address orders to Miss M. L. Huntley, Battle Creek, Mich. J. H. K.

THE NORTHERN KANSAS TENT-ENTERPRISE.

By Smith Sharp

The friends in Dist. No. 2 have made urgent calls for help in their territory; and now that the Conference has decided to send Elds. Lamont and Santee to that field with a tent, to remain during the season, I appeal to the brethren there to take hold and help to make the enterprise a success. The meeting they have appointed at Ballard’s Falls, June 12, 13, should be attended as far as practicable by the friends from Marshall to Jewell counties. Then wherever they decide to pitch the tent for lectures, let the brethren see that the expense of moving, pitching, and seating the tent, and all other expenses, as far as consistent, are met by the friends there. SMITH SHARP.
