Thanksgiving Ingathering Orders

ALL individual or church orders for the special Thanksgiving REVIEW should be sent through the State tract society. The State tract society will place all orders for supplies for this mission campaign; will receive all donations from individuals and churches; and in every way will serve as the authorized representative of the Mission Board in carrying out the Thanksgiving Ingathering plan.

Death of E. A. Chapman

WE have just learned indirectly of the death, at Oakland, Cal., of Brother E. A. Chapman, while on his way from the Fresno (Cal.) camp-meeting to his home in Mountain View. Brother Chapman had been connected with the financial department of the Pacific Press Publishing Company for many years, and a portion of this time held the position of manager of the institution. At the time of his death, and for some time previous, Brother Chapman held the position of secretary of the California Conference. There was perhaps no one among our workers on the Pacific Coast more highly esteemed than Brother Chapman. The REVIEW extends its sympathy, not only to the bereaved relatives, but to the California brethren generally, in the sad loss they sustain in Brother Chapman’s death.

Sabbath-School Quarterly

THE Sabbath-school Quarterly for the last quarter of the present year is a continuous and complete study of the Epistle to the Ephesians, and is now ready for distribution. Those desiring copies, who do not receive them through their Sabbath-schools, may address any of our publishing houses or tract societies, enclosing five cents.

That Offering, October 3

By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells

ONE word more regarding the offering to be taken Sabbath, October 3, for our work in behalf of the colored people in the South. So much has appeared in the REVIEW of late concerning the needs of these people, the present opportunities for helping them, and the encouraging results from what has been done, that it seems little more can be said. Indeed, nothing more need be said to those who have read with care what has appeared. Let these two thoughts appeal to you: What these poor people are losing and suffering without the light of the third angel’s message; and further the thousands that are going down to Christless graves every year with no hope for the future. Think of these dreadful facts and give for their redemption as a beneficent Father has made it possible.

What Will It Cost?

By G. B. Thompson

WHAT will what cost? — Why, to make the Thanksgiving Ingathering week in behalf of our foreign mission work a success, and gather in a large sum to extend our work.

It will not cost us money, for even the special number of the REVIEW to be used during this week will be mailed to you only in as large quantities as you wish, free. You can have all of them for nothing that you will use as directed. Then what will it cost us? — Simply this: Exertion, — some real good, faithful work for God in behalf of millions of souls yet unwarned. It will cost us this, nothing more. Surely every person who loves this truth, and longs to see it triumph, should be willing to take many copies of this splendid special number, and go among his friends and neighbors, give them a copy, and solicit from them a liberal contribution for the advancement of our mission work in other lands—the last work of God on earth in behalf of sinners. If this work is faithfully and energetically done, it will bring in a large sum for the Lord’s work. Feeble efforts in this direction will indicate a waning spirituality.

The time, November 22-28, is drawing on, and it is none too soon for church and conference officers to begin the work of organizing for the campaign. As perfect an organization for work as possible should be perfected by the officers in every church, that when the time comes all can spring into action, and see an excellent work wrought for the Lord.

As we have seen the enthusiasm manifested in the various camp-meetings in reference to this matter, we have faith to believe that our people intend to take hold of this work with a will.
