A Note to Correspondents

By Editor

THE editor wishes to say a few words to his correspondents. Owing to the additional work incident to the General Conference and the council of the General Conference Committee recently closed, the editor has found it impossible to give proper attention to his correspondence, and this note is intended as an explanation to those who may be wondering why their letters are unanswered. Furthermore, the editor has been requested to attend the camp-meetings in the Northwest, and will doubtless be on his way to that part of the field before these lines are read. It may therefore be some weeks before all letters can receive attention, and he asks for kindly consideration from those whose inquiries may seem to be neglected. In the nature of the case, preference must be given to those letters which relate to the current business of the paper.

Reports of Association Meetings Delayed

By Editor

WE regret our inability to present this week the reports of the meetings of The Michigan Sanitarium and Benevolent Association and The International Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association, which have recently been held in Battle Creek. We were assured by the secretary of these associations that the reports would be furnished for this issue, but later it was deemed advisable not to supply them to the REVIEW until they had appeared in a special number of the General Conference Bulletin. We are therefore unable to state when we can lay them before our readers.

One Church Elder’s Experience

“THE foreign mission offerings for the year 1902 from our church amounted to about thirty-five dollars, or an average of seventy cents a week. The donations this year run from one dollar and a half to two dollars a week. If this rate is kept up, it will be a great increase for our church. I hope that all other churches will be able to give as good a report. From my own experience, I can say that the Spirit of the Lord is working upon the hearts of the people, and they are responding nobly to the calls that are made upon them. This is as it should be. We are all of good courage, and desire to be led of the Lord to perform his will in all things.”

May Missionary Review of the World

The Missionary Review of the World for May contains an article on “The Macedonian Caldron,” by Dr. Henry Otis Dwight, who lived many years in Constantinople. This scene of disturbance is the “storm center of Europe,” and an important missionary field. Another contribution to this number of the Review is on “The Women of India and Intellectual, Social, and Religious Reforms,” by Mrs. J. T. Gracey. Among other articles of interest is a biographical sketch by the editor, on John Coleridge-Patterson. Published monthly by Funk & Wagnalls Company, 30 Lafayette Place, New York; $2.50 a year.
