The Teachers' Outlook
By Editor
Published by the Teachers' Publishing Company, Des Moines, Iowa. A monthly magazine for teachers and pupils that proposes to supplement other school journals rather than to occupy the same field. It will seek to provide an OUTLOOK upon affairs of life and facts in science and nature which illustrate and test theories; to stimulate thought and give the teacher's mind a fresh source of inspiration.
A review of current events, civil and industrial problems, inventors, discoveries, etc., will be an important feature of the magazine, and a complete review of current literature will also be given by competent critics.
ANOTHER AND VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE of the magazine will be that all teachers and students are invited to join its circle of writers, out of which it proposes to draw its corps of future contributors. On this point it has some original plans of mutual helpfulness to carry out.
WANTED, ESPECIALLY—Writers of short, realistic stories and articles on natural history and social science from the Pacific Coast on terms given in OUTLOOK. Sample copies 20c; none free.

THE ORIGIN AND GROWTH
By Editor
OF
SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
IN THE
Christian Church.
By J. H. WAGGONER.
The above is the title of an important new pamphlet which we have just issued.
The object of the work is "to defend the faith of Seventh-day Adventists on the single point of the change of the Sabbath, and who is responsible for that change."
All the evidence is from those who favored the observance of Sunday. Here will be found a strong array of testimony against the idea that there is any Scriptural authority for Sunday keeping, and all this evidence is given by those who
Believe in the Observance of Sunday.
In reading this pamphlet one cannot but wonder how any one will persist in keeping Sunday when its own friends give such overwhelming testimony against it.
"The Origin and Growth of Sunday Observance" contains 96 pages, and has a neat cover. Price, POSTPAID, 10 CENTS.
Buy it! Read it! Circulate it! Address.

REDUCTION OF FARE TO THE CAMP-MEETING AT OAKLAND.
By C. H. Jones
ALL persons coming to the State Camp-Meeting at Oakland, Cal., over any of the lines of the Southern Pacific Company, will purchase a first-class ticket to Oakland, paying the regular fare, and at the same time presenting a certificate, which must be filled out and signed by the ticket agent. After these certificates have been indorsed by the Secretary of the Conference at the camp-ground, they will entitle the holder to a return ticket at one-third the regular rate, at any time up to and including October 9. These certificates can now be obtained, free of charge, by addressing Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.
We would suggest that where several persons are coming from the same place, it be arranged to have all the certificates needed sent to one person, and then passed around to those who are coming. Be sure to order enough for all.
Special arrangements have been made with the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad this year by which those coming to the camp-meeting can purchase round-trip tickets to San Francisco at the following rates:—
Cloverdale to San Francisco and return, $3.00
Healdsburg " " " " 2.25
Santa Rosa " " " " 1.50
Petaluma " " " " 1.00
Call for camp-meeting tickets, which will be on sale at all of the above named stations from Sept. 14 to Oct. 8. These tickets must be countersigned by the Secretary of the Conference on the camp-ground, and will entitle the holder to return at any time up to and including Oct. 14, 1889.
Each person will be allowed to take 150 pounds of baggage free. Arrangements have been made with the Whitney, Standard and Oakland Transfer Co., to take trunks and packages from San Francisco to the camp-ground in Oakland for twenty-five cents each. Checks should be left with the above named company at their office, No. 3 Commercial Street, San Francisco (just across the street from the ferry landing), or delivered to the baggagemaster on the camp-ground. Pay no money to the Transfer Co., as arrangements have been made to collect when the baggage is delivered.
Those coming via San Jose and intermediate points on the Broad-gauge R. R. should check baggage to, and get off at, Market Street Station, Oakland. Those coming by the Narrow-gauge R. R. should check baggage to, and get off at, 14th and Webster Streets. Those coming via Benicia should check baggage to, and get off at, Sixteenth Street Station. Teams will be in readiness to transfer baggage; and horse-cars for the transfer of passengers run direct from the depot to the grounds. The San Pablo Avenue cable cars starting at Broadway and Seventh Streets also run direct to the camp-ground. C. H. JONES.
HEALDSBURG COLLEGE.
By W. C. Grainger
THIS is one of the best schools on the Pacific Coast, and, as far as we know, is by far the cheapest. While the monthly expenses in other schools range from $30 to $45, in this, from $18 to $22 pays for board, tuition, lodging, etc., in fact, everything except extra branches, books, and clothing.
In this school, manual labor is combined with study, two hours of each day being devoted to some useful physical employment.
The morals of students are strictly guarded. No one of impure character need apply for admission. Those unknown to the faculty, personally, are required to present satisfactory testimonials of good character before they will be received. If, after a student has been admitted, he is discovered to be an improper person to have connected with our school, he will be promptly dismissed.
The literary work of the college is arranged in the following courses: Elementary, Normal, Scientific, Classical, and Biblical.
The fall term of this school will begin Monday, September 2. All former students who desire to maintain their present class standing, and all new students who possibly can, are respectfully urged to enter at the beginning of the term. You cannot afford to lose any part of the term's work, much less the first part of it, neither can the college afford to permit you to do so, except under the most pressing circumstances. Then do not remain away for some trifling cause, and lose a large part of the term's work.
Provision will be made for those desiring to attend the general camp-meeting at Oakland. The fare from Healdsburg and return is a mere trifle. None should be deterred from entering at the beginning on account of saving that expense.
The Biblical department opens October 8.

THOSE buying tickets at the stations of the Santa Fe R. R. for the camp-meeting at San Diego, are entitled to reduced rates. The agent will sign a receipt that full fare has been paid in going. This receipt will be kept, and the secretary at the camp-ground will certify that the party has been an attendant at the camp-meeting, and the return ticket will be sold for one-third the regular rate.

"THE FALL AND REDEMPTION OF HUMANITY."
By Editor
THIS is the title of a lithographic allegorical picture, illustrating the Bible story of man's creation, his fall, the plan of salvation devised for his rescue, together with representations of the patriarchal, Jewish and Christian systems of religion, and also of the false religious practices of the heathen and unchristian people in various ages since the flood. The picture is also a prophetic chart and presents to the eye the symbolic figures mentioned in the second, seventh, and eighth chapters of Daniel, and the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and eighteenth chapters of Revelation.
The central figure is the crucified Saviour. In front of the cross, a group of weary, sin-laden, repenting, commandment breakers are seen coming to Christ for pardon. They look unto him by faith, and their burdens of sin fall off, and that faith in Christ is shown by being baptized. Coming up from the watery grave of baptism, clothed with Christ's righteousness which is by faith, they sit at the table of the Lord's Supper, and eat by faith the flesh of the Son of God and drink his blood in the emblems which he himself gave as a memorial of his death. Their pathway is shown as leading along a rugged, precipitous way, surrounded by dangers which call for constant watchfulness and prayer, until finally they reach a point in their pilgrimage where they stand like unto "men who wait for their Lord." The sanctuary in Heaven is represented as being open, and the ark of the covenant is seen therein, overshadowed by the wings of the cherubim, while our great High Priest stands before the ark interceding for fallen man.
This picture was designed and published by Dr. M. G. Kellogg, of the Rural Health Retreat, St. Helena, Cal., and is offered for sale at 50 cents per copy. It is arranged that all profits accruing to him from the sale of the first edition shall be used in furnishing the chapel to be erected at the Retreat. The picture is nicely executed, is 22x28 inches in size, and will be sent postpaid, with "explanation," on receipt of price, by Pacific Press Publishing Co., Oakland, Cal.
