The REVIEW’s Increasing Circulation

By Editor

IT is a source of gratification to us to be able to announce that the circulation of the REVIEW has been steadily increasing until it now has the largest permanent list in its history. We appreciate the efforts put forth in its behalf by the friends of the paper, and still invite their co-operation in the purpose to place it in every Sabbath-keeping family in the United States.

The 1904 Year Book

THE Year Book, containing the official denominational directories for 1904, has now been issued. Much painstaking work has been done by the statistical secretary, Brother H. E. Rogers, in the preparation of this pamphlet, and the information is reliable and up to date. It will be found of interest to all who desire to be informed concerning the affairs of the denomination, and almost a necessity to all workers. The price is twenty-five cents, and it can be obtained through the usual channels, or from the office of the General Conference.

The REVIEW in Every Family

WE are receiving encouraging responses from our brethren in the field with reference to the effort to place the REVIEW in every Sabbath-keeping family in the United States. Elder J. G. Wood, of Ohio, writes as follows:—

Touching the circulation of the REVIEW among our own people, I will say that I give this matter my personal attention, to see that every family gets the REVIEW as far as possible. In looking over my diary I find twenty-four subscriptions for the REVIEW in the last ten months from our little company. For more than forty years we have had, with few exceptions, the weekly visit of the REVIEW in our family. In fact, we hardly know what we could do without it. We look for the REVIEW with nearly as much interest as we do for the next Sabbath day. The REVIEW always keeps us in touch with the advancing light of the great threefold message for our time. . . . It is the great medium which the Lord uses to speak to his commandment-keeping people.

Another Call

By Editor

AGAIN we would call the attention of the stockholders in the Review and Herald Publishing Company, of Battle Creek, Mich., to the matter of transferring their stock so that it can be used in the publishing work at Washington, D. C. In order for this stock to be made available, it must be signed over to I. H. Evans, Trustee, who has been appointed by the General Conference Committee and the Review and Herald Board to attend to the matter of closing out the old company. All who are willing thus to transfer their stock, so that it can be used in the publishing work at Washington, D. C., should attend to this matter at once.

Take your certificate of stock, and turning it over on the back, sign it on the dotted line below the printed matter, and forward to I. H. Evans, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

If you can not find your certificate, please drop a line to I. H. Evans, as above, and he will send you a blank that will answer the purpose.

This matter ought to be attended to at once. Will not all our brethren and sisters who read this notice see that their stock is promptly assigned?

The Practical Working of a Good Plan

By W. A. Colcord

COLLEGE VIEW, NEB., Jan. 26, 1904.

Elder A. G. Daniells,

Washington, D. C.

DEAR BROTHER: Our First-day offerings in the College View church during the first seven months of 1903 amounted to only $18.52. During the last five months of the year, or from the time we adopted the ten-cent-a-week envelope plan, our weekly offerings amounted to $343.18. In other words, the result is hundreds of dollars under the new plan, against almost nothing under the old. I think this speaks well for the systematic ten-cent-a-week plan, especially when the use of the little envelopes is adopted, as we have adopted them here,—placed them in little pockets on the backs of the seats, so that everybody can get one without fail every time he comes to church.

Sincerely your brother,

W. A. COLCORD.
