SABBATH, July 3, is the day when the midsummer offering is to be taken. Will not each one who reads these lines make an offering to the Lord for the relief of the shortage of funds in the mission treasury? Some can give much, others can give considerable, and surely but few will think it fit to do nothing at all on this occasion when there is such great need of funds. A letter from Korea, just received, says that in two companies, sixty have begun keeping the Sabbath, and that wherever the workers go, an interest springs up to hear the truth. They plead for more workers. Not a dollar has been sent a mission station for the month of June, because of a lack of funds. The harvest is white. Doors everywhere are open to the reapers. The Macedonian cry comes from many a land. The hour of God's providence seems to call his people to “arise and finish the work.” Our means and prayers and all our service should be used to accomplish the will and work of God. Remember the offering.

Notice!
By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells
At the recent session of the General Conference, Elder W. T. Knox was elected treasurer of the General Conference. As Brother Knox can not be released from his present duties immediately, Elder I. H. Evans has been asked to continue in the Treasury department until Elder Knox arrives to take over his duties as treasurer. When this change is made, notice will be given through the REVIEW. Until then all correspondence for the treasurer and all remittances should be addressed to the General Conference, or to Elder I. H. Evans, Takoma Park, D. C.

Life and Health July Issue
IN its attractive appearance and in the table of contents, the July issue of Life and Health is thought by many to surpass all former issues. The size of the edition and the rapidity with which it is selling are mentioned on the second page.
Enlarge Protestant Magazine Circulation
If our ministers throughout the field would follow the example of Elder L. G. Moore, of Michigan, as reported on the second page, the list of the Protestant Magazine would be greatly enlarged, and the truth would be brought to the attention of thousands of new families. Is it not worth the effort?
Martha Anderson Returns to Denmark
Miss Martha Anderson sailed last week from New York for Denmark, where she will resume her work at the Skodsborg Sanitarium. She had been seriously ill while on furlough in this country, and was under treatment at the Washington Sanitarium, where the Lord in a special manner raised her up in answer to prayer.
Stahl Family En Route to Bolivia
LAST week Brother F. A. Stahl, of Ohio, left Washington with his wife and daughter, Miss Frenna Stahl, and little boy, en route to Bolivia, by way of Panama. Brother Stahl was able to get off to the field thus early, having funds of his own with which to pay the transportation charges. Elder E. Thomann, of Bolivia, returned to South America with him.
Publishing Association Officers Elected
THE trustees of the Review and Herald Publishing Association have elected the following officers: President, F. M. Wilcox; vice-president, S. N. Curtiss; secretary, W. B. Walters; manager, S. N. Curtiss. The treasurer is yet to be selected. The special reason for some changes in the organization of the board is made clear in the article by Elder A. G. Daniells in the Editorial department.
A Midsummer Opportunity
WE have seen a circular to the Nebraska believers, entitled “A Midsummer Opportunity,” sent out by M. E. Ellis, missionary secretary, indorsed and emphasized by a few paragraphs from Elder A. T. Robinson. It is a stirring appeal in behalf of the midsummer offering and missions. Officers of the other conferences have been agitating the matter by letter and by conference papers, helping to roll the burden of the world-wide work upon the hearts of the believers. The response is coming.
