TEMPERANCE SONG BOOK.
By Barbara C. Stickney
The new work entitled "Temperance and Gospel Songs" is now ready. It is well bound, and contains one hundred pages of the choicest music, nearly all of which is new, having been written expressly for this work. It is designed more especially as a temperance book, and meets a want that has long existed, and been felt by all temperance workers. The object and merits of the book are truly represented in the preface as follows:—
"In preparing the following pages, the object has been to present earnest, stirring words and music which shall meet the demands of the temperance work in all its branches. With the exception of a few valuable selections, both words and music are new, written especially for the book by the best talent in the land. Among the authors of new music are D. S. Hakes, Dr. W. O. Perkins, H. S. Perkins, Wm. F. Sherwin, W. A. Ogden, T. C. O'Kane, J. A. Butterfield, Dr. J. B. Herbert, W. T. Giffee, Elisha A. Hoffman, Frank M. Davis, W. J. Bostwick, L. B. Jewell, and R. B. Mahaffey. Among the authors of new words are F. E. Belden, E. R. Latta, S. Fillmore Bennett, Corie F. Davis, W. C. Gage, Eliza H. Morton, Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle, Mrs. E. P. Hakes, Laura C. Nourse, Juliette Estelle Prescott, Julia E. Lloyd, R. F. Cottrell, and others."
Our temperance clubs should not delay in procuring a supply of these books, as they will greatly aid in making their meetings interesting. Orders can be sent directly to the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., or the books can be obtained of the local tract societies, which should keep a supply on hand. Price: single copies, 30cts.; by the hundred, 25cts. each.

Newspaper Directory for 1880 and 1881
By Editor
WE are indebted to Geo. P. Rowell & Co. for a copy of their Newspaper Directory for 1880 and 1881. These directories, published annually, are by far the most complete of their kind. Messrs. Rowell & Co. were the first to give them reliability, and although many publishers were at first unwilling to acknowledge the correctness of their reports, and objected to the sometimes unpleasantly inquisitive nature of the publishers' inquiries, it has now become evident that their plan was the only one which insured, as nearly as possible absolute correctness.
Moody’s School for Daughters of Drunkards
The San Francisco Occident says that the large brick building which Mr. Moody has had erected during the past summer upon a commanding spot near his farm in Northfield, Mass., intended as a school for the daughters of drunken parents, has been built "for Jesus, and for no one else." In the summer vacation it is proposed to fill the rooms with "Christian people who desire to spend a few weeks in the study of the Bible instead of in fashionable watering-place dissipation."
NOTICE.
By R. D. Benham
I WISH to call the attention of the Sabbath-school secretaries of the North Pacific Conference to the importance of promptness in reporting. There are about half of the schools in this Conference that have not reported at all, and some that did report this quarter, were altogether too deficient in detail. Every little company and every isolated family of Sabbath-keepers should have a Sabbath-school, if there are enough to elect a superintendent and secretary and have a class of two members. The superintendent can act as secretary and teacher too, if necessary.
My heart is in the Sabbath-school work, and I would gladly visit every school and every family where a school might be started, were it possible; but this I cannot well do, and would therefore ask you to awake to a greater degree of interest yourselves. Form little Sabbath-schools. Take the weekly Instructor. Obtain the lesson book for little ones. Then at the end of each quarter, carefully fill out the blank which I will send you if I know where to address you, and return the same to me. I will gladly furnish you with any supplies or instructions that you may need. I want the names and addresses of every Sabbath-school secretary in the Conference, and of as many lonely families as possible, as I wish to correspond with them. May the Lord inspire us with a greater degree of earnestness in his work that we may hear the "Well done" when the Master comes.
My P. O. address for the present is Salem, Marion Co., Oregon. R. D. BENHAM, State Sec.

NEW TESTAMENT LESSONS.
By William Clarence White
WE would call the special attention of all Sabbath-school workers to the following facts:—
1. With the Lesson Sheet for October, the Lessons on Prophecy were brought to a close, and the classes of the Fourth Division are advised by the General S. S. Association to leave whatever course of lessons they are now studying, and all unite in studying the lessons on New Testament History. The resolutions passed at our last annual meeting at Alameda include the following upon this point:—
Resolved, That we recommend the 3d, or Youth's, Division and the 4th, or Adult, Division to unite in the study of the New Testament lessons, and thus by joining our forces be better prepared to carry on the work successfully.
2. The 3d, or Youth's Division, will have to go over a few of the same lessons that they have studied before; but the strength gained by a union of the divisions will more than compensate for this apparent loss.
3. There are such frequent delays in the mails that it will be best for the schools on this coast to recite the lessons two weeks later than the date at the head of the lesson.
Among the advantages of this plan are the following:—
1. Both youth and adults will be furnished with the most interesting and profitable lessons that could possibly be found.
2. Uniting the two in one large division will add to the interest of review exercises.
3. Having one less division to look after, the superintendent can give more attention to each.
4. Uniting more teachers on one lesson will increase the interest of the teachers' meeting.
As these lessons which have been so often called for are now furnished, and our schools are under such favorable conditions to adopt them, we hope to see the interest of all who have been looking for them increased in the Sabbath-school work.
