German Special Edition and Parsons Visit

By Editor

A SPECIAL edition of our German paper, the Christlicher Hausfreund, will be issued for use among the German-speaking people during Thanksgiving week. This paper will contain practically the same matter and the same illustrations as appear in the special edition of the REVIEW, and will be furnished to the members of our German churches without cost to them, for use in soliciting donations, the same as the REVIEW will be used. All orders for this paper should be addressed to the International Publishing Association, College View, Neb. After due consideration it has been decided not to issue any similar special editions of the Scandinavian papers, in view of the fact that a large proportion of the Scandinavian people understand the English language, and can be reached by the use of the REVIEW. The members of our Scandinavian churches will, therefore, unite with the large body of our people in soliciting donations during Thanksgiving week by using the REVIEW.

ELDER D. A. PARSONS, of England, with his wife and Mrs. L. A. Parsons, his mother, have been spending a few days in Washington, on their way to the Southern field. Acting on medical advice, Brother Parsons left England for a drier climate.

Elder Evans Arrives in Japan

A LETTER just received from Elder I. H. Evans states that he arrived in Yokohama October 1, after a very comfortable voyage, and was about to make a visit to different parts of Japan in company with Elder F. W. Field. We shall expect a report from Brother Evans for the REVIEW in a short time.

Deadline for November 19 Notices

By Editor

ANY notices which in the ordinary way would be published in the REVIEW for November 26 must be sent to this Office in time to appear in the issue for November 19. This becomes necessary in view of the fact that the issue for November 26 is the special Mission number of the REVIEW, already being printed, in which no announcements of this character can be inserted.

Medical Missionaries Sail for India

We learn that Thomas J. Grenville and wife, of the British Training College, sailed from England this month for India, going out to engage in the medical missionary work.

Chinese Missionary Paper Issued Regularly

OUR Chinese missionary paper. Fuh in Hsüen Pao (The Gospel Herald), is now being issued regularly from the printing-office at Shanghai. We learn that the circulation is larger than at any previous time.

Elder Reaser Appointed to Mexican Mission

LAST spring the Mission Board invited Elder G. W. Reaser, of the Southern California Conference, to take the superintendency of the Mexican Mission. He accepted the appointment, and having recently been released from California by the arrival of Elder E. E. Andross, Brother Reaser and wife have this month removed to Mexico City.

Church Membership Record Notices

By Editor

IN order that the church records may properly represent the actual membership of the different churches, it may become necessary to drop the names of persons whose residence is unknown, and from whom no report has been received for a long period; but it does not seem to us advisable to advertise such action through the REVIEW. Church officers who desire to learn the addresses of absent members will be freely accorded the opportunity of making inquiry through the columns of the REVIEW, but we do not think it proper to announce the dismissal of members through this medium. We request, therefore, that church officers should frame their notices in harmony with this statement.

Delay in Shipping Daybreak Books

THERE has been considerable delay in securing sheets for the book “Daybreak in the Dark Continent,” and now they must be bound before the books can be sent out. Our work is crowding us very hard in the bindery; but some of these books will be finished just as soon as possible, and orders filled as soon as the books can be obtained.

Watchman Publishing Office Moves to Panama

THE printing-office of the Watchman Publishing Company, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, W. I., has been closed; and the machinery, type, stock, etc., have been shipped to Cristobal, Panama, where a new building is being erected, a portion of which will be occupied as the permanent office of this company. During the time occupied in the removal and re-establishment of that office, the Caribbean Watchman will be printed in the Review and Herald Office. The October number has already been sent out to the subscribers.

The Near Second Advent and Denominational Growth

THE rapid growth of the work carried forward by this denomination is attracting the attention of some among the Seventh-day Baptists, and leads one writer in the Sabbath Recorder to inquire whether a comparison between the growth of the two denominations does not “suggest that we as Seventh-day Baptists are missing our opportunity not only for denominational growth, but for gaining a preparation for the coming of Christ, by rejecting this doctrine [the near second advent].” This inquiry is certainly worthy of serious consideration on the part of those who are seeking an explanation of the fact that very few people are receiving the Sabbath truth when separated from the doctrine of the near coming of Christ.

Dr. Wu Ting-Fang Abandons Flesh Food

On Sunday, October 18, Dr. Wu Ting-Fang, the Chinese minister, took dinner at the Washington Sanitarium, Takoma Park, after which he delivered a brief address to the physicians, nurses, and students in the assembly hall of the Foreign Mission Seminary. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Wu said: “Up to three or four years ago I was very fond of animal food, and of what you call luxuries, but I have been studying this question, and I have given up eating flesh food altogether. I also stopped drinking champagne, believing it to be poisonous in its effect upon body and mind. I have given them up altogether as ‘pernicious diet.’” Dr. Wu is a gentleman of education and culture, and his address was received with great favor by the audience.
