SHALL THE AUSTRALIAN MISSION BE ESTABLISHED?

By G. I. B.

We call attention to the article of Eld. Haskell in this issue, and ask for it a careful consideration. We have waited a few weeks to see if our people would respond to the calls in behalf of this important movement. We regret that as yet we have seen so little done to carry into effect the vote of the General Conference concerning this mission. Yet we are not at all discouraged. We feel sure it will be carried forward; for there is no going back in God’s cause.
If those hold back who might take hold and do for God, the result will be a sad loss to themselves spiritually and eternally. Others will come forward and do their work and take their crowns. As yet but little has been done toward raising this fund. We know, however, that many minds are troubled as to their duty, and some are anxious to dispose of property to enable them to obtain funds to assist in this mission.
Meanwhile the time is rapidly rushing on, and soon the missionaries will want to start for that distant land. May God help our men of wealth to arouse and see what an excellent opportunity this is to lay up treasure in heaven. Here they can transfer a portion of their treasure to the eternal world, laying it up in bags which wax not old. It cannot be possible that our brethren will be willing to see the cause hindered in its onward course because of their failure to do their duty. We will not believe it unless we are forced to do so. We expect to see the Australian mission established without fail. G. I. B.

CAMP-MEETINGS FOR 1885.

By George I. Butler

The time of year has again returned when we must begin to consider the camp-meeting question once more. In a little over two months these important convocations will begin to be held again. How the fast-revolving years rush on, and how rapidly we are hurrying on to the great Judgment-day! We can hardly realize that we are so near another camp-meeting season. But here we are, nearing the middle of March. It is time to hear from the presidents of Conferences who wish their meetings held in spring and early summer, what their desires may be.
We think it is better for those interested to correspond with one person concerning the arrangement of the time for the holding of these meetings, than with several, as it is more likely to save confusion. We speak of those living this side of the Rocky Mountains. We suppose of course that those living on the Pacific slope will correspond with Eld. W. C. White, or leading brethren at the Pacific Press, relative to their meetings, as Bro. White is the member of the General Conference Committee living in that section, and their camp-meeting labor will come from that quarter. But east of the Mountains there should be a mutual understanding, and an arrangement so that the various meetings can be supplied with suitable help without interfering with one another. Several Conferences might select the same time, and unless there was a mutual agreement, the proper help could not be furnished. As Eld. Haskell will be absent, probably the proper person to whom all communications concerning the time for holding these meetings should be addressed, is the President of the General Conference. He can counsel with others.
Let all interested, then, write as soon as they can ascertain their first, second, or third choice of time for the holding of their meetings; when able to do so, the place also. We would also suggest that they express their minds freely as to whom they desire to labor at their meetings. As far as consistent, these desires will be met.

Tabernacle Lectures, Visiting Workers, and Notices

By Editor

The lectures at the Tabernacle have continued through the week with increasing interest. The attendance has been good, and the speakers have enjoyed freedom. Eld. Canright has providentially been with us a few days, and has rendered efficient assistance in the work.
The little poetical gem which headed our T. and M. Department, in the REVIEW of Feb. 24 we inadvertently omitted to say was copied from the Union Signal, that staunch standard-bearer of the W. C. T. U., published in Chicago.
It is expected that a select party will leave Battle Creek by special car for California about March 20 to 30 via Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe R. R. Any one expecting to go will do well to correspond with J. Warren Wright, care REVIEW and HERALD, Battle Creek, Mich.
We are pained to see in The Missionary Review, an advertisement for chewing tobacco; and we are also puzzled to know what those who are supposed to read that otherwise excellent journal would care to know about somebody’s “climax plug tobacco with red tin tag.” Would the Review introduce its patrons to the pernicious habit of tobacco using, or foster its continuance among them? We would fain hope the advertisement is simply an inadvertence which will speedily disappear.

THE REVISION OF "FACTS FOR THE TIMES."

By George I. Butler

This very valuable compilation of facts, extracts from authors, statistics, etc., has been out of print for some time. The writer has been urged by the Board of Trustees of the Association to revise it by adding other important matters to it for a new edition. Things are constantly coming to light in this fertile age. Startling events are transpiring, and statements from prominent persons are being made, which have an important bearing upon the cause of present truth. We greatly desire that the forthcoming edition shall be still more valuable than any which has preceded it. And it may be such, if we can get access to all the important matters in the possession of our ministers and people which they have treasured up.
We are examining the volumes of the REVIEW which have been published since the previous edition was printed, calling out important matter for the book. But there are many things which our ministers and friends have gathered from other papers and books, which would be valuable for this compilation. These may be in scrap-books or otherwise preserved. If these were printed in this book, they would be useful to many.
Now, if any of our brethren having extracts which they think would be valuable, will send them to me at once, I will examine them, and such as are thought suitable will be inserted. If not used, I will return them to the sender, if desired. We ask all interested to consider this. If you send them, do so just as promptly as possible, for we have no time to lose. Send to Geo. I. Butler, Battle Creek, Mich.

ATTENTION, COLORADO!

By Wm. Ostrander

There will be a State meeting at Boulder April 20. This will be an important meeting for this conference. We desire to counsel with our leading brethren, and lay plans to more successfully carry forward the work of the Lord in this State. Let each Adventist in Colorado see to it that he is free from the charge made by the prophet Malachi. Then we will not be hindered by lack of means. Let each tract officer in this State be diligent and faithful. Much will depend upon a concert of action, if the cause in Conference shall indeed go forward. We hope to have Bro. E. S. Griggs, of Michigan, at this meeting. His experience and counsel is much needed. Ample provision will be made for all who come. Let none stay away. Come praying that the blessing of God rest upon us.
All money should be sent to N. H. Druillard, Denver, Colorado, Euclid Hall, 247 Fourteenth Street.
