A LETTER recently received at this office from Charleston, S. C., says:—
“Yours of February 27 has traced me up, and I will say in reply that the Osborn Sunday Bill died in the House, and the author of it told me that he thought he was done with the matter entirely. He said he had no idea it would cause such State-wide opposition. Our people sent in many well-filled petition lists, and also letters, telegrams, etc. These things have had great weight.”
In this we find an illustration showing that well-directed campaigns bring results. In the case above referred to, literature and personal visits entered largely into the work, which has been crowned with success.

Resolutions on Religious Garb
By S. B. H.
THE Religious Liberty Association of the District of Columbia held a meeting at the Memorial Church on Sunday evening, April 21, at which the principal speaker was Prof. W. W. Prescott. The following resolutions were adopted concerning the wearing of religious garb or insignia in the Indian schools conducted by the government:—
“The Religious Liberty Association of the District of Columbia, advocating the principles of civil and religious freedom upon which this country was established, views with apprehension the persistent encroachments of ecclesiasticism in national political affairs, and exhorts all citizens to watchfully guard against the evils which will inevitably follow these encroachments unless checked. It therefore adopts the following action:—
“1. We heartily commend the order (No. 601) issued by Hon. R. G. Valentine, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, forbidding the wearing of any distinctively religious garb or insignia by those employed in the Indian schools operated by the government, while on duty, believing that this long-standing abuse against which this order was directed is a violation of the principle of the absolute separation of church and state.
“2. We respectfully urge that the President of the United States and the honorable Secretary of the Interior make effective Commissioner Valentine’s order.”

A Change in the Secretaryship of Our Publishing Department
By Arthur Grosvenor Daniells
At the recent annual meeting of the Review and Herald Publishing Association held in Pittsburgh, the board of trustees requested Brother E. R. Palmer to act as business manager of the publishing house. This was agreed to by Brother Palmer and the members of the General Conference Committee present. On being elected to that position, Brother Palmer presented to the General Conference Committee his resignation as secretary of the General Conference Publishing Department. The resignation was accepted, and Brother N. Z. Town was elected secretary of the department.
Brother Palmer was called from Australia ten years ago to take charge of what was then called our subscription-book work in North America. At that time the book work in the United States was greatly depressed. Many who had been in the canvassing work had abandoned it, and but very few were entering it. The book work received but little attention from conference officers, and scarcely any time or encouragement at camp-meetings and other prominent gatherings of our people. The sales reported for the whole denomination for 1900 were only $250,000. The demand on our publishing houses for our denominational literature was so small that they found it necessary to put forth great efforts to secure commercial work from the world.
But there were a few of the old agents who remained loyal and devoted to the book work. They were scattered over the country and formed bases of operation. They welcomed Brother Palmer, and gave him the most hearty and intelligent cooperation. It took a tremendous effort to start the wheels up the hill, but they began to move slowly, and they have been going in one direction all the time, and faster each year. In this connection I am pleased to mention the great assistance rendered by our venerable brother Elder Geo. I. Butler, who was then president of the Southern Union Conference and the Southern Publishing Association. He rallied his forces with great zeal and helped to start the wheels.
As Brother Palmer resigns the leadership of this great department of our work, he surely must do so with deep gratitude to the Lord and his associates in the work for the success that has come to that line of work. And those who have been most closely associated with him will ever cherish in their memories the experiences of the decade of struggles through which we have passed.
Brother Town, who has been selected to take charge of this great department of our world-wide movement, has had a long and varied experience in that branch of the work. During the last three years he has, as assistant secretary of the department, become well acquainted with all its interests. We are glad that we can call him to the secretaryship of the department with the fullest confidence that he will by the help of the Lord carry the work forward with success. We feel sure Brother Town will have the hearty cooperation of all his fellow workers.
A. G. DANIELLS.

Hanson Home Destroyed by Fire
WE regret to learn that on the evening of April 27, the home of Elder P. A. Hanson, at College Place, Wash., who is the president of the Upper Columbia Conference, was destroyed by fire. And still sadder than this was the death of his little son, Orlando, who was unable to escape from the burning building. The fire was caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp. The sympathies of all will go out to this dear family in their affliction.
Conference and Educational News
Last week Elders A. G. Daniells, W. T. Knox, and G. B. Thompson returned from the Lake Union Conference, reporting an excellent meeting. Prof. H. R. Salisbury continues his journey westward, taking part in the graduating exercises of Union College, and later going to Loma Linda, Cal., to attend a meeting of the union conference educational secretaries.
G. A. Irwin Moves to Loma Linda
A RECENT letter from Elder G. A. Irwin tells of his removal from St. Helena to Loma Linda, Cal. This change will bring Brother Irwin more closely in touch with the work in Loma Linda, and will enable him as president of the Loma Linda board to render, in the way of counsel and direction, very efficient help in connection with that important institution. Brother Irwin reports himself as enjoying excellent health, and full of hope and courage for the work.
Appointments of Editors
Following the recent election and organization of the Review and Herald Board, appointment of editors for the journals of the association was made. These are as follows: REVIEW AND HERALD: editor, F. M. Wilcox; associate editors, C. M. Snow and W. A. Spicer; Youth’s Instructor: editor, Mrs. Fannie Dickerson Chase; Life and Health: editor, Dr. G. H. Heald; Liberty: editor, W. W.

Work Opportunities at Foreign Mission Seminary

Young People’s Day
By Editor
Do not forget that Sabbath, May 25, is Young People's day. The program was published in last week's REVIEW, to make thorough preparation possible. We again suggest that only six or eight paragraphs of the Symposium be used in the meeting. This day is given to the consideration of one of the very important problems before this denomination, and will be a great blessing to every church that observes it.
Hoffmans Appointed to Japan
