GOOD HEALTH.
By Editor
J. H. KELLOGG, M. D., EDITOR.
This popular health journal enters upon its fifteenth volume with the most flattering prospects for a continuation of the prosperity that has attended its publication in the past. It has for several years enjoyed the
LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY HEALTH JOURNAL IN AMERICA,
and its publishers are determined, not only to maintain the high position already attained, but to greatly increase its circulation the coming year, and thus enlarge its field of usefulness.
During the year each number will contain a large amount of valuable and interesting matter on the subjects of Health, Temperance, Popular Science, General Literature, and other topics of interest. The practical information in its pages on Sanitary Science, Public and Domestic Hygiene, and topics of kindred nature, gives it a scope and field of usefulness peculiar to itself, and unoccupied by any other journal.
AN ILLUSTRATED ARTICLE
On practical hygiene, or some other topic of general interest, will appear in each number, as a new and permanent feature of the journal in the future. In addition to this the Department of Questions and Answers, which has contributed so much to the success of the journal in the past, will be revived in a practically useful form, and made more valuable than ever before.
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE, $1.00 A YEAR.
PREMIUM FOR NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS.—The “Household Manual,” a work of great value as a book of ready reference, packed full of practical information, and sold at retail for 75 cents, is offered to new subscribers with GOOD HEALTH for one year, for $1.25. We regard this as the best premium offer ever made, as the book alone is well worth the subscription price of the journal, and 25 cents extra secures both.
Specimen copies of the journal will be sent free to any address on application.

BATTLE CREEK T. AND M. INSTITUTE.
By James White
This was a very large class. Ministers from several of the States were present. Elders Whitney and Stone had the pleasure of drilling between two and three hundred, embracing a large amount of active intelligence. Here men and women were prepared, not only to act in the tract and missionary cause, but to instruct others in the same good work.
The public services during the Sabbaths covered by the period of time given to the duties of the Institute, were seasons of the deepest interest. Social meetings were refreshing; and the seasons of prayer, enjoyed by the ministers who assembled morning and evening in the room where we now write, were very precious. Elders Corliss, Decker, and Colcord, all suffering from wear and disease, were special subjects of prayer. At the close of the Tract and Missionary Institute, the following resolutions were passed by unanimous rising vote:—
Whereas, Eld. B. L. Whitney, of Rome, N. Y., who has been with us for the term of eighteen days, and has occupied sixteen days in teaching the principles and practice of tract and missionary labor, has endeared himself to us by his Christian walk, his gentlemanly deportment, and ability as teacher and conductor of Tract and Missionary Institutes, therefore
Resolved, That a vote expressive of our grateful thanks is due our beloved teacher for his patient and efficient labors with us.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the class that our thanks are due the church at Battle Creek for their liberalities and kind attentions to our wants.
We have good news from the Institute now being held at Oakland, Wis. The work of the class opens with sixty members, and many encouraging features. Judging from the past, we feel very confident that Eld. Whitney, with the blessing of God, will make the several institutes to be held this spring in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois, a great blessing to these Conferences. J. W.
OUR FEEBLE PREACHERS.
By James White
There are quite a number of feeble S. D. A. preachers whose lives and labors may be of inestimable value to the cause if they can relate themselves properly to the laws of life and health in their arduous labors. These are generally men of fine feelings, good judgment, and ardent in their work, deeply feeling the worth of souls. To lose these valuable men, would be a terrible loss to the cause.
Of these we would mention the names of Elders Decker, Colcord, Corliss, St. John, and Fero. A change to a dryer climate in the Pacific coast States and Territories, would improve the physical condition of these dear brethren. And in no part of the broad field are laborers needed at the present time, as west of the plains. Colorado needs the labors of Eld. Decker and Eld. Fero or St. John; and these brethren need the change, and the pure, dry atmosphere of the Rocky Mountains, to improve their health.
The cause in California, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, needs the labors of Elders Corliss, Colcord, Fero or St. John, and these brethren need the change and the invigorating atmosphere of the Pacific coast. But there are objections. The Conferences to which they are connected would greatly feel the loss of their labors, and cannot see how to spare them. Some of these men are destitute of means, and from what quarter will the money come to meet their traveling expenses?
The season for labor is open. These men can be spared from the East, and must be spared, if a few years of labor upon the Pacific coast would confirm their health, during which time they could do much in building up the cause in the West. The General Conference is still in debt, and cannot raise the means to pay the fare of these brethren and then support them in their labors, as it has done when the cause on the Pacific coast was young and feeble.
The matter is now fairly before the brethren in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Colorado. If they want the labors of these ministers, they can doubtless have them by paying their traveling expenses West by the cheapest fare, and supporting them while they labor with them. J. W.

A NEW TENT FOR OHIO.
By Dudley Marvin Canright
It has become absolutely necessary to buy a new tent for Ohio. Two of those which will be used this season are very bad indeed, but will have to do. A new one will cost over $200. All should assist in paying for this, even if they can give but a little. It will have to be paid for by the first of May. Who will help? Let all do something. D. M. CANRIGHT.
EXPLANATION
By D. T. Fero
I wish to say to those persons in the Pennsylvania Conference who have signed the H. and T. pledge, and paid the membership fee, and have not received their certificates, that I am now here at the REVIEW Office, and learn that two editions have been printed and exhausted. But paper on which to print more is ordered, and another edition will be ready soon. This explains why those to whom I have promised certificates have not heard from me. You are not forgotten, friends, but will all be served in time. D. T. FERO.
