Ontario Conference and Camp-Meeting

By A. O. BURRILL

THE Ontario Conference and annual camp-meeting will be held August 23 to September 2 at Paris, Ontario, which is on the main line of the Grand Trunk Railway, between Hamilton and London, fifty-one miles east of the latter, and thirty-three west of the former place. The Canadian Union Conference will be held at the same time and place. The officers for the conference are to be chosen. All members of our churches are delegates to the conference.

A. O. BURRILL, President.

Tents and Rates for the Ontario Camp-Meeting

By A. O. Burrill

THOSE desiring tents will please correspond with the writer. The tents are all with flies, and are 12 x 16 feet. The price will be three dollars. Lumber will be furnished at the best terms that we can secure. We will have plenty of straw. Fruit will be abundant. We expect to obtain reduced rates on the railroads, probably the same as last year. Notice will be given about this later. We have the best of help from the General Conference, Elders Irwin and Evans. Elder Thurston will be present all through the meeting. Come with the children and neighbors. A. O. BURRILL.

Liberty and Life and Health

By Editor

We call special attention to the notices of Liberty No. 2 and the August number of Life and Health given on the second page of this issue. This number of Liberty contains matter that will effectually set aside the present conception of the importance of enacting and enforcing Sunday laws as a remedy for the apparent lack of spirituality among the laboring classes, and it will convince every reasonable person against the claim that Sunday laws are essential to good government. It is in every respect an excellent number, and it is well adapted to present conditions. Life and Health is fulfilling its mission very acceptably, and is accomplishing much good for both its agents and readers. One fourteen-year-old girl ordered two thousand two hundred copies of the July number, on which she realized, at the regular agents’ rate, fifty-five dollars for her services. This is a good salary for a fourteen-year-old girl, and, besides, the two thousand two hundred copies circulated represented a value in future results that can be estimated only upon the divine conception of human life.

Educational Convention Report

A REPORT of the recent educational convention will be printed at once. A full statement as to contents, price, etc., will be found on page 22.

Elder G. B. Thompson

ELDER G. B. THOMPSON is now attending camp-meetings in California. Brother Thompson expects to join other workers at the Colorado and Oklahoma meetings before returning to Washington.

New York Conference Camp-Meeting

Just as we were going to press, we received a telegram from Brother T. E. Bowen, the secretary of the New York Conference, announcing that their State camp-meeting would be held at Phelps, September 6-16.

Sister White on Her Work

In her article in this issue of the Review, Sister White makes a clear statement concerning her work, which will be read with special interest in view of the recent discussion of this subject. It is perhaps unnecessary to invite attention to this article.

M. E. Olsen Returns to England

Brother M. E. Olsen, one of the editors of the British Good Health, has been in Washington for several days on business connected with the publishing work in London. After spending the winter in study in this country, Brother Olsen now returns to England to continue his work there.

Church-School Interests at Takoma Park

PROF. FREDERICK GRIGGS and Prof. H. R. Salisbury spent two days in Washington last week in consultation with other members of the General Conference Committee. Advantage was taken of their visit to hold a meeting in the interest of a church-school at Takoma Park. Professor Salisbury sailed on Wednesday for London on the steamship “Oceanic,” of the White Star Line.

A Great Calamity

By Editor

Fire Destroys the Printing Plant of the Pacific Press Publishing Company

THE following telegram was received here July 21, at noon:—

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CAL., July 21. Daniells, Prescott, and Curtiss, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. Pacific Press burned. Total loss. Can Daniells come immediately? Wire. WILCOX.

A reply to this message was sent expressing our sympathy and asking for further information, but up to the time of writing this note, no further information had been received.

In the Washington Sunday Post there appeared the following dispatch:—

SAN JOSE, CAL., July 21.—The entire plant of the Pacific Press Publishing Company, at Mountain View, was destroyed by fire last night. Loss, three hundred and fifty thousand dollars; insurance, one hundred thousand dollars. The stock in the company is owned by Adventists throughout the country.

We are quite confident that the loss may have been exaggerated in this dispatch, but in view of the lack of definite information, we are unable to make any authoritative statement.

On Sunday morning at our chapel service the employees of this Office adopted an expression of sympathy, which was conveyed in the following message:—

TAKOMA PARK STATION, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22, 1906. Pacific Press, Mountain View, Cal. Our workers unite in expressing sympathy. Can we do more? REVIEW AND HERALD.

We were greatly shocked by this news. We heartily sympathize with those upon whom the burden of this perplexing situation rests. We wait for further news and a clearer understanding of the matter before venturing to make any comments or to suggest any explanation. We can only say that the Lord will guard the interests of his own work, and will accomplish his own purposes.

J. Sheldon, Maple Plain, Minn.

New Cylinder Press at Takoma Park

By Editor

ALMOST immediately after beginning operations in our new office at Takoma Park, it was found that the equipment in our press-room was not sufficient for our work, and another cylinder press of the same size and make as the two presses removed from Battle Creek, was ordered. This press has now arrived, and is being set up this week. With this addition to our equipment, we shall be in much better condition to meet the demands upon us.

Union College Calendar for 1906 and 1907

By Editor

We have received a copy of the Union College Calendar for 1906 and 1907, and have perused it with much interest. Certainly no Seventh-day Adventist, young or old, can examine its contents without a strong desire to avail himself of the facilities offered there for fitting himself for more intelligent and useful service in the work of the third angel's message. We would urge any person of proper age who has a desire for such a training to secure a copy of this calendar and study its contents. Address. C. C. Lewis, Union College, College View, Neb.

Monthly Educational Department in the Review

By Editor

At the recent educational convention a resolution was passed requesting the Review and Herald Publishing Association to issue a thirty-two page number of the REVIEW once each month, and to devote the extra eight-pages to an educational department. This action was taken to meet the growing demand for an enlarged medium of communication and discussion among the educators. The trustees of the Review and Herald Publishing Association have given favorable consideration to this request, and have decided to increase the size of the paper to thirty-two pages the first issue of each month, beginning with next September, the time suggested by the officers of the Department of Education. There will be no increase in the price of the paper to subscribers, although ninety-six additional pages of reading-matter will be furnished in the course of a year, as the General Conference Committee has agreed to meet a large part of the expense incurred by this enlargement as a contribution to the advancement of the educational work. We are sure that our readers will be pleased with the contemplated change, and that they will appreciate an action which increases the size of the paper two pages a week on an average, but does not increase the price. More will be said later about this new department.
