Statistical Reports

By Editor

WE give in this number thirty-two pages of matter instead of twenty-four. Notwithstanding this, it is necessary greatly to limit the space devoted to our regular departments, in consequence of the statistical reports occupying sixteen pages of the paper. These reports, however, furnish most interesting reading and study. They should be preserved for future reference.

Public Press and Maryland Sunday Laws

By Editor

WE note that our brethren generally are making larger use than heretofore of the public press in dealing with the living issues of the day. Let the good work go on. We have just received a copy of the Baltimore Sun, giving prominent space to an interview with Elder C. B. Haynes, of Baltimore, concerning the revival and enforcement of the Maryland Sunday laws.

First Annual Camp-Meeting in Korea

SURELY these are times of cheering developments in the onward march of the message. Here is a word just in from Elder C. L. Butterfield, of Korea: “August 3-13 our first annual camp-meeting will be held at Chinnampo, where the message started in Korea. We look forward to a good attendance, and much of the blessing of God.”

C. N. Lake Sails for Japan

We have word that C. N. Lake and wife sailed from San Francisco for Japan, August 9. The brethren of the Pacific Press feel special pleasure in supplying Brother Lake to take charge of the publishing work in Japan, as he has been connected with the Pacific Press for about twenty years.

Concluding Report of the Friedensau Council

This number presents the concluding report of the General Conference Committee Council meeting at Friedensau. All who have read the account of that meeting have had their hearts thrilled by the manifest tokens of God's leadings in the carrying of this message to earth's remotest bounds. What a congress of tongues this council presented, the earnest of the heralding of this message in the fulfilment of prophecy to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people! Let us pray that the earthly councils of the church militant may soon give place to the great general gathering of the church triumphant in the kingdom of God.
