The Ontario Conference

By M. C. KIRKENDALL

THE annual camp-meeting for the Seventh-day Adventists of Ontario will be held at Hamilton, Sept. 8-18, 1910. In harmony with a resolution passed at the last session of the Ontario Conference, the business of the conference will be transacted during the three days following the camp-meeting. Therefore the eleventh annual session of the Ontario Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held on the camp-ground at Hamilton, Ontario, Sept. 19-21, 1910. The first meeting will be called Monday, September 19, at 9 A. M. Officers will be elected for the following year, and other important matters relating to the welfare of the conference will be considered. All persons in good and regular standing, holding their membership in any Seventh-day Adventist church in Ontario, who may be in attendance at any of the meetings of the regular session of the conference, are counted as delegates. We urge upon all their duty to be present, and in the fear of the Lord bear the responsibility placed upon them. M. C. KIRKENDALL, President.

The Tennessee River Conference

By W. R. BURROW

The annual camp-meeting and conference of the Tennessee River Conference of Seventh-day Adventists will be held at Huntingdon, Tenn., Aug. 18-28, 1910. Besides the help from the home conference, we expect to have with us Elder C. F. McVagh and others from the Southern Union Conference, also Elder R. C. Russell, of Washington, D. C. No dining-tent will be conducted this year; but there will be a cooking-tent where the campers can buy foods in large or small quantities, and take them to their own tents for serving.

Rates on the certificate plan, as in the past, have been granted over the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis Railroad only in western and middle Tennessee. Certificates will be valid on August 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. Through the kindness of the railroad officials, we are given rates of one and one-third fare, plus 25 cents per one hundred delegates. When buying your ticket to Huntingdon, be sure to call for certificate.

Delegates for the conference should be elected early. One delegate is allowed for the organization, and one for every ten additional members.

W. R. BURROW, President.

The New Review Face

OUR readers will be pleased with the new REVIEW face which will adorn the Harvest Ingathering number. A beautiful design has been prepared by our artist.

Missionaries Delayed by Treasury Shortfall

THE readers of the REVIEW may have noticed that no departure of missionaries has been chronicled on this last page for several weeks. This is because the Mission Board is compelled to detain volunteers under appointment until the treasury can catch up a little. One sister wrote in last week that she had in her heart resolved to provide $100 during 1910 to send a worker into the unwarned interior of China. She would like to go to China; but as she can not, she takes this way to make up the lack. Such secret plans as these serve to encourage the Board in its struggles to answer the many calls coming in from the different fields.

Workers’ Training School in Mexico

SPEAKING in a recent letter of the workers' training-school soon to be opened in Mexico, Prof. G. W. Caviness says:—

“It will be necessary for those who come to have recommendations from the respective conferences or schools where they have been in attendance. Our quarters are limited, and we want only a few of the best young people — those who expect to enter the work. It will be necessary to have correspondence with each one before he comes. The time is short for this.”

Let all who are planning to go to Mexico for this work, make satisfactory arrangements with Professor Caviness before starting. His address is 1599 Avenue 22, Tacubaya, D. F., Mexico.

Opportunities in Public School Work

REFERENCE to Brother E. C. Jaeger's work in the public schools, as printed on page 18, shows the great field which may be found by our workers as they follow up openings, co-operating with the leadings of Providence.

Placing the Review in Every Home

“We are doing what we can to place the REVIEW in every Seventh-day Adventist home in our field, and hope it will not be long until we can say that we have accomplished what we have undertaken.” This good word comes from Elder R. T. Baer, president of the Chesapeake Conference. Why should not this same effort in behalf of our general church paper be made in every conference?

Remembering Workers’ Companions in Prayer

IN a letter from U. Bender, president of the West Indian Union Conference, he incidentally mentions that he expected soon to leave Colon for his home in Jamaica; and that, if he was prospered on his journey, he would have been away thirty weeks. Many other laborers are called upon to leave their homes and families, and the loved ones at home part from the worker who goes out a long time for the sake of the cause of Christ, which we all love. The faithful companions at home need to be remembered in prayer; for they share in the self-sacrifices and labors of the husbands, although but little may be seen or known of their struggles.

Elder J. C. Little Dies in India

ANOTHER valuable laborer has fallen at his post in the mission fields. A cablegram from India, received Thursday morning of last week, reads: “Little died cholera. Notify parents.” At the time of his death Elder J. C. Little was in charge of the Bengali work in east Bengal. He was an earnest, faithful, self-sacrificing laborer, and India sustains a great loss in his death. Not long ago he wrote, saying, “When you are ready to enter Tibet, I will go.” He was willing to enter a difficult field. He possessed the spirit of the true Christian soldier. But his labors are now ended, and he rests in his chosen field. He died with the gospel sickle in his hand, in the midst of India’s great ripened harvest field. His grieving parents in California, and the lonely wife and children in India, will have the sympathy and prayers of God’s people. Further particulars will be given later.

A Pressing Call—Who Will Respond?

By A. G. DANIELLS.

On the last page of the REVIEW of July 28, a call was made for 120 volunteers for mission fields, as follows: 27 for China; 18 for India; 6 for South Africa; 6 for Japan; 11 for the West Indies; 34 for South America; 3 for the Philippine Islands; 7 for West Africa; 1 for the Straits Settlements; 6 for Great Britain; and 2 for Bermuda. Of this company 56 should be evangelists, 21 nurses, 26 canvassers, 4 physicians, 9 teachers, and 4 Bible workers.

This is the call now pressed upon the home land by our brethren who have gone from us to mission fields. They have great need of these workers to fill the openings of God's providences about them. Who will go?

The General Conference Committee is anxious to make the selection at once. Those selected will be asked to spend their first six or nine months in the Foreign Mission Seminary instead of in the mission fields. The responsibility of sending young men and women to all parts of the world is so great that the committee feels that in the future greater care must be exercised than in the past to become acquainted with those who are selected, and to give them the preliminary instruction nearly all need before going to foreign lands to live among, and work for, a strange people.

Therefore, those who are selected will be placed in the Seminary at the expense of the Mission Board, instead of being sent at once to the mission fields at greater expense and at far greater and more serious risks.

The call for 120 evangelists, physicians, nurses, canvassers, Bible workers, and teachers is a very definite one, and the arrangements for their final selection and preparation are the best we have ever made. And now there should be no delay in our movements. These workers must be substantial and reliable. They should be the very flower of our young people.

We earnestly appeal to our union and local conference officers, to our ministers, to the presidents of our colleges and academies, to our physicians, and to our sanitarium managers to help us in making this selection. And we ask for immediate action. The calls are already pressing us from the fields, and the Seminary is to open September 14. It will take time to obtain the full information we must have regarding each person before making an appointment. Therefore we request that prompt action be taken by all who can render help. We also request those who feel called to mission fields to communicate with us without delay. The president of the Seminary will furnish a blank which must be filled in by all applicants. In writing for the blank, or to notify us of the desire to go to a mission field, do not fail to give reliable references.

A. G. DANIELLS.

Convention of Self-Supporting Missionary Workers

A CONVENTION of self-supporting missionary workers will be held at Madison, Tenn., August 27-30. The Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute of that place will send, to those desiring the same, two leaflets,—“An Appeal to Seventh-day Adventists to Fulfil Their Duty to the South,” and “Are You Coming to the Convention?”

Shall Rome Again Rule the World?

RECENTLY Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau has delivered several lectures in Baltimore on the subject: “Shall Rome Again Rule the World?” The Baltimore American of June 13, 19, and 27 published short, favorable reports of these lectures.

Foreign Mission Seminary Pamphlet

A PAMPHLET has been prepared setting forth the relation of the Foreign Mission Seminary to our mission work; the reason for prospective missionaries attending the Seminary; the course of instruction given to such workers; the method of support of the same while in training, with other information which all our young people should have. Any one desiring a copy of this pamphlet should address Foreign Mission Seminary, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
