East Michigan Camp-Meeting

By E. K. SLADE

THE annual camp-meeting for East Michigan is to be held in Keeley Park in the city of Jackson, Aug. 11-21, 1910. This will be an important meeting for East Michigan, and for all who may attend. The city of Jackson has shown us favorable and liberal concessions, and Keeley Park is centrally located, and very desirable for a camp-ground. The attendance from the city last year was large. We hope for a large attendance this year from the city and surrounding country, and also of our brethren throughout the conference. The members of our churches in East Michigan should prepare early to attend this meeting. Orders for tents, cots, etc., should be sent at once to the conference president, at Holly, Mich.

E. K. SLADE, President.

On Jan. 28, 1841, she became the wife of Eli Taylor. In Sister Taylor’s life we have an example of a faithful Christian.

Colporteurs for Mission Fields

By Editor

WE again mention the call made by the General Conference Committee in the last number of the REVIEW for twenty-five experienced canvassers to go to foreign fields after taking a preparatory course in the Foreign Mission Seminary, under the direction of the General Conference. We trust that this call has already found a response in the hearts of the men who should go, and that we may soon hear from them.

The following note from Brother Max Trummer, written from the capital city of the province where our Argentina school is located, is a good illustration of how the Lord has prepared the way for the circulation of our literature in foreign fields. He says:—

“I want to let you know that we took seventy orders here for Spanish ‘Home and Health’ in three and one-half days. One day we took thirty orders. This is much better than I ever did in the States. We sold to the mayor of the city, also to two bank directors, and took five orders in the federal building.”

Canvassers in other foreign fields are having similar experiences, and it is the repetition of these marked evidences that now especially is the time to enter these fields with our literature, that has led the General Conference Committee to ask for twenty-five men to fill the urgent calls that have come in.

Address all correspondence to N. Z. Town, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

Four of our monthly subscription journals for August have come to hand; namely, Signs of the Times Monthly, Watchman, Christian Education, and Life and Health. Each one of these journals fills a special need in this great movement. The August numbers are fully up to the high standard of their predecessors. We hope that every reader of the REVIEW will do his best to give to these monthlies a wide circulation.

Canvassing Work in Mexico

JULY 12, Brethren J. W. Phillips and Charles Martin left Texas for Mexico, where they have gone to engage in the canvassing work.

An Article by Mrs. E. G. White

By Editor

WE hope every parent will read the article from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White in our Home and Health department. The principles set forth are worthy of careful study and practical application.

German Seminary Established in Missouri

ALL will be gratified to learn of the establishment of the German Seminary at Clinton, Mo. According to the report of Elder E. T. Russell, an excellent property has been secured for the German work at much less cost than the buildings could have been erected.

Pacific Union Recorder Liberty Special

ISSUED as a Liberty Special, the Pacific Union Recorder of July 14 comes out as a three-column, sixteen-page journal. It contains excellent articles on the subject of religious liberty, written for the purpose of educating the people of California on these principles. It is worthy of more than local circulation.

Report from Honolulu

This number contains a report from Elder I. H. Evans, written from Honolulu while en route to the Orient. The work of Brother Evans in the countries of the East will be followed with deep interest, and the prayers of all will attend him and his associates in the needy and exceedingly health-trying fields in which they are laboring.

Preparing the Harvest Ingathering Number

By Editor

THE work of preparing the next Harvest Ingathering number of the REVIEW is busily going forward. The artists have already done much of their work, and some of the matter it will contain is already in type. It will be printed and sent out in good time. We earnestly hope that this year will prove to be the banner year in our circulation of the Missions number of the REVIEW. Begin to prepare now to act your part.

Foreign Mission Seminary Training

It would be well for the young men and women who have quite or nearly completed their educational work, and are contemplating work in the mission field, to consider the advantages offered for a short course of special instruction in the Foreign Mission Seminary. The president of the Seminary, Elder J. L. Shaw, sets forth these advantages in his article in the Field department. The Seminary offers no long courses of study, but specializes in the work of preparing missionary recruits for the particular field which they have chosen. In this regard it stands unique in our system of schools, and is prepared to give special help which perhaps can be obtained in no other institution.

A Call for One Hundred Twenty Missionaries

By A. G. Daniells

Those who are watching the progress of our work are aware that a rather steady stream of workers is flowing toward the mission fields. But we scarcely realize the magnitude of this movement.

Recently the General Conference Committee appointed a committee to look over the calls that have not yet been filled, and submit an estimate of the number of workers we should plan to send out during the next two years.

This committee presented a carefully prepared, conservative estimate, based on the calls already on the files in our office. Their report is as follows: The Workers for China, 27; India, 18; South Africa, 6; Japan, 6; West Indies, 11; South America, 34; Philippine Islands, 3; West Africa, 7; Straits Settlements, 1; Great Britain, 6; Bermuda, 2. Total, 120. To this number must be added at least 80 persons,—the wives and children of these workers,—making 200 who must be sent out.

Of these workers, 56 are to be evangelists, 21 nurses, 26 canvassers, 4 physicians, 9 teachers, and 4 Bible workers.

This report has been adopted, and the task of selecting these workers will now begin. But the officers of the General Conference are fully aware that during the two years these missionaries are being found and sent, calls for at least as many more will be sent in, and, if the funds will make it possible, the additional number will be sent.

The task of making just the right selection of so many persons, for such varied lines of work in different countries, is a heavy one. Those upon whom it rests need, and earnestly crave, the prayers of God's people.

As stated in last week's Review, we have found it absolutely necessary to establish a more careful and systematic arrangement for supplying the mission fields with the workers they require. We must get in the lead of this great movement by selecting our workers far enough in advance to become personally acquainted with them, and to give them the special help they ought, by all means, to have before they start to their fields.

This we shall endeavor to do by placing them in the Foreign Mission Seminary for a time. We are now requesting the secretaries of our departments, the presidents of union and local conferences, and the men at the head of our schools and sanitariums, to assist us in the selection of these workers. And we earnestly request our people to join us in our endeavors to send to the hundreds of millions of the lost in all lands the young men and women who will prove to be just the help needed.

A. G. DANIELLS.
