Now Time to Get Your Ingathering Supplies

By T. E. Bowen

THE time is here once more to order through your church librarian or directly from your conference office a supply of the new Harvest Ingathering REVIEW.

We have heard from some near-by sections that almost twice as many papers are being sent for as last year. This is good. To provide these papers and keep up its other work, the Review and Herald Office is running night and day, with three shifts. A million of the War Extra are already ordered, and shall we not follow this immediately with a million of the Ingathering REVIEW?

Now that we must support, for a time at least, the European missions, the demand is upon us for almost double duty. We hope every reader of the REVIEW will begin early to plan for faithful work among neighbors and friends with the Ingathering number.

If you have not yet received a sample copy, drop a card to your conference office, and one will be sent you. The stirring times for which we have been looking many years are now upon us. Shall we meet the demand of the hour? The Harvest Ingathering REVIEW will provide the opportunity for all to do a grand work for God just now. T. E. BOWEN.

Eugene Leland’s Evangelistic Labor in Bermuda

LAST week Elder Eugene Leland, of Michigan, was booked to sail from New York for the Bermuda Islands, to spend a few months in evangelistic labor in connection with our church in Hamilton, the capital.

First Word from Germany Since War Outbreak

UNDER date of August 7 and 16, Elder Guy Dail, secretary of the European Division Conference, writes to the General Conference from Hamburg, Germany, reporting the workers at that point well. This is our first word from Germany since the outbreak of the war.

Nashville Food Factory May Continue

The Nashville (Tenn.) Food Factory, which was expected to close the first of September, will probably continue in operation until the first of October. Orders will be received for the present, subject to such delays as are incident to the reduced force now employed. Such universal regret has been expressed at the prospect of the closing of this factory that earnest efforts are being put forth to arrange if possible for its continuance, but not as a conference institution as at present. Just what can be done remains to be seen. The address of the factory is Madison, Tenn.

Use of the Review and Herald War Extra

By Editor

We have received many encouraging reports from our brethren in the field regarding the REVIEW AND HERALD War Extra, which has recently been published. A number of our workers engaged in tent efforts have used large numbers of the Extra to good advantage in connection with their meetings. A letter received from Elder Stemple White, of Duluth, Minn., speaks of the excellent interest he has in his tent meetings, and of the good use which his workers have made of literature bearing on the present situation in Europe. Twenty-five or thirty thousand copies of the Extra were distributed in the city of Washington, D. C., where Elder R. E. Harter is conducting a successful meeting. Elder J. S. Washburn writes of the good use he made of the Extra in a large interest which he has in the city of Philadelphia. The matter in this number is still very timely, and we believe that still further use could be made of it by those engaged in labor for the general public.

Encouraging Camp Meeting Reports

By Editor

We rejoice in the many excellent camp meetings and conference sessions which have been held during the last few months. From every part of the field there comes a note of cheer and courage. A letter just received from Elder B. G. Wilkinson, president of the Columbia Union Conference, says of the little camp meeting just held in West Virginia: “This meeting was a splendid success from every standpoint. The Spirit and power of God were felt in the camp and resulted in a great revival. There were less than one hundred adults on the ground, but the brethren responded nobly to the emergency call, and gave in cash and pledges one thousand dollars. They are organizing the conference to carry the appeal for help for mission work throughout the whole field.”

Brother Wilkinson also speaks of the excellent showing made last year by the Mount Vernon Academy. We are glad to pass on this good word for the encouragement of others:—

“We are greatly encouraged with the annual report from Mount Vernon Academy. The net operating gain for this year alone was $2,179.57. Gifts and donations were made to the amount of about $9,000; so during this school year the daily academy reports a total gain of $10,994. As in the past about $9,000 had been spent in repairs on the building, it was in excellent condition when the Ohio camp meeting was held on the grounds of the academy a short time ago. The debt is now reduced from $33,000 to less than $18,000. The brethren are all of good courage, and expect to see the work go onward in that field.”

Carnahan Returns to Cuban Mission

WE learn that Brother S. H. Carnahan sailed last week from New Orleans for the Havana, Cuba. He has been for some time in Oregon, and returns to Cuba to act as secretary and treasurer of the Cuban Mission and to connect with the mission training school being established in Santa Clara, one of the central cities of the island.
