Our Pioneer Missionary Paper
By Editor
Dr. George Thomason, of the St. Helena Sanitarium, has furnished some splendid articles for the Signs, but the several articles treating the subject “The True Science of Christianity and Its Principles of Health Contrasted With Christian Science and So-Called Divine Healing” promise to be of exceptional value. They will begin in the Signs in a few weeks, and every believer should have several copies for his own use. Subscriptions for the six months’ series beginning November 11 will secure all the articles.
Elder R. C. Porter contributes a splendid series of thirteen articles to our pioneer missionary paper, the Signs. The subject is “The Kingdom of God,” and it will be developed in a thorough way, taking up its origin versus evolution, its laws, invasion, subjects, liberty, principles, covenants, false views, and reestablishment. This is a very strong series, and will appear in the new six months’ series to begin November 11. These are real missionary articles.
Many have heard Brother H. H. Hall, of the Pacific Press, in his interesting illustrated talks on the Waldenses and their work. Brother Hall, has now prepared a series of six articles for the Signs of the Times weekly, and they will appear in the six months’ series beginning with the issue of November 11. It will be a treat to have these in printed form. They will not only be of value to our people, but will be most excellent missionary articles. They will show the life and education, the stanch faith in the face of bitter persecution, and the inspiring missionary example of this great people. Be sure your name is on the list for the first number. Include a few of your friends.

Training for Nurses
THE Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium Training-school for Missionary Nurses desires a few more consecrated young men and women to complete the number of applicants to be accepted for the 1914 freshman class which begins January 1. This school has special advantages to offer to those desiring to prepare themselves to become more efficient workers for God and humanity.
Our location is an ideal one, situated at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The instruction given includes all the branches of nursing taught in the modern hospital training-school, both theoretical and practical. As a large number of patients enter our institution each year, the training is not confined to any one branch of our work, and the student receives a varied experience in general, hospital, and surgical nursing. Write us at once for illustrated nurses’ catalogue. Address Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, Colo.
The November “Watchman”
By Editor
The October Watchman met with splendid success throughout the field, and the good things in store for the readers of the November Watchman will insure a warm welcome for the same. The following is a partial list of its excellent contents: “The Impending Conflict;” “Did the Pope Change the Sabbath?” “Type and Antitype” (Sanctuary Series); “Was Peter the Rock?” “The Promises Made the Fathers.”
Many words of praise have been received concerning this good magazine, and the following illustrates how the Lord is impressing those not of our faith to help give the message:—
“GENTLEMEN: Please forward me 20 copies of the Watchman, and terms to agents. While visiting Windsor, Canada, I bought a copy of the Watchman. On arriving home I read it and became impressed with its splendid make-up and the truthful method of presenting Bible facts. I think this good magazine should be widely circulated. Let me try.

Harmony by Correspondence
By C. C. Lewis
The harmony which the Fireside Correspondence School proposes to teach through correspondence is music harmony, and we are sure it can be taught successfully in this way.
The first lessons of the series are just from the press, and are prepared by Miss Barbara M. Knox, daughter of Elder W. T. Knox, treasurer of the General Conference. Miss Knox is thoroughly qualified for this work, having completed four years’ study of the subject, one year with Prof. Wm. J. McCoy, of the University of the Pacific, San Jose, Cal., and three years with Profs. George Siemonn and Howard Thatcher, at the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, Md.
Familiarity with the rudiments of music and a certain skill in playing, such as will enable the pupil to play the exercises of the lessons on piano or organ, are necessary for the successful pursuit of these studies.
We have printed a few extra copies of the first lessons, which may be had free by those really interested who will first write for them, together with the Annual Announcement and full information in regard to terms, etc.
Address the Fireside Correspondence School, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
C. C. LEWIS, Principal.

For several years he was actively engaged in missionary work, being director of a district in Michigan. Shortly before becoming a Seventh-day Adventist he was married to Jenette Weed. To them four children were born, three of whom still survive. His wife died in 1891. About a year after this he went West, but later moved to Graysville, Tenn. In 1896 he was married to Bettie Harris, who preceded him in death. Our brother sleeps in Jesus. A very large congregation listened to remarks by the writer from Rev. 21:4.

Nebraska Harvest Ingathering Campaign
WRITING under date of September 26, Elder J. W. Christian, president of the Nebraska Conference, says: “You will be interested to know that we are taking hold of the Harvest Ingathering campaign in a vigorous way, enlisting the cooperation of our conference laborers and church elders, and swinging the rank and file of our people into this movement. I believe we have reason to expect greater results for missions from the campaign this year than from 1912.” We hope that the earnest efforts being put forth in this conference will be duplicated in every conference, and that the campaign this year may be the most fruitful of success.
