It is necessary to call attention to a correction which should be made in Table No. 1 of the statistical report published last week. In next to the last line, showing net gain for 1903, the following corrections should be made: Net gain in number of Sabbath-schools, 253; per cent of gain, 9.28; net increase of tithe receipts, $40,282.71; per cent of increase, 6.26; net increase of book sales, $47,687.27; per cent, 11.09.
Earth's Early Days
We have received from the author a leaflet of twenty pages with the title “Earth's Early Days.” It is the object of the writer of this leaflet to show that up to the time of the flood the earth's axis was perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, and that “the earth was tilted on its axis on that fateful day of Noah's life, the day the flood began.” With this hypothesis the climatic changes since the time of the creation of man are accounted for, and also the regular succession of the seasons with their variations of temperature. The leaflet is interesting, even though it may not be fully convincing. The price is ten cents, postpaid, and it may be obtained of the author, Orin Belknap, Kettle Falls, Wash.
The Review and Herald
By Editor
One of our colporteurs in South America writes as follows concerning our church paper: “The Review and Herald is surely what it claims to be, and it passes understanding how any of our people in the United States can do without it, when those abroad reach out for it as for the very bread of life. How it does cheer one to hear of the progress of the work everywhere, and especially is that true when one is so lonely among strangers.” It is the aim of the Review to feed the household fully with food in due season, and to report the progress of the message in all lands for the information and encouragement of the believers. We shall be glad of the co-operation of our friends in widening the circle of our readers.
