Death of Elder W. N. Glenn

By Editor

JUST as we are closing our forms, word reaches us of the sudden death of Elder W. N. Glenn, the associate editor of The Signs of the Times. This news will come as a shock to those who have learned to love Brother Glenn through long personal association or through the helpful articles he has contributed to all our leading papers. The REVIEW extends its sympathy to the Signs in its great loss, and joins the workers there in their sorrow. We hope to give particulars next week.

Oakwood Manual Training-School Special Announcement

We have received a copy of the new special calendar of the Oakwood Manual Training-school, Huntsville, Ala. The burning of the dormitory, destroying the stock of regular calendars, has made necessary the publication of this “Special Announcement.” The principal of the school is desirous of corresponding with those interested in the educational work among our colored brethren and sisters. Work can be provided on the new buildings for a number of young men who might wish to pay for their education in that way.

Our Daily Offering

By I. H. Evans

It is encouraging to see how almost universally our people are taking hold of the plan for raising the $150,000 fund. The most encouraging letters are coming from all directions, telling us that the conferences and churches are undertaking to raise this money with good courage.

Every day brings us nearer the beginning of the new year. We would indeed be glad if we could see the whole amount wiped out at the dawn of 1907.

A daily offering from every Seventh-day Adventist in the United States and Canada will easily bring in this amount. Courage and good cheer characterize efforts put forth in raising this fund.

No one should fall behind in the opportunities of giving to this fund, and we hope and trust that every one will do his best to make a liberal offering day by day until the fund is raised.

Let us all do our best while the effort is on, and soon we shall have this money raised, so we can pass on to other undertakings. I. H. EVANS.
