ALL who have occasion to correspond with any of the officers of the General Conference or of either of its departments, should remember that the address is now Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. All letters and remittances intended for the Review, Instructor, Life and Health, and Sabbath School Worker should be addressed to 222 North Capitol St., Washington, D. C., not Takoma Park. All donations for the general work should be sent to the General Conference Treasurer, at Takoma Park, not to this office.
The Pastor and Modern Missions
ONE of the latest contributions to missionary literature is “The Pastor and Modern Missions,” by John R. Mott, well known through his enthusiastic efforts in behalf of world-wide evangelization in this generation. The general outline of the book is essentially the same as that followed in a course of lectures delivered at several theological seminaries. The subject is treated under five divisions, as follows: The Non-Christian World at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century and Its Message to the Churches of Christendom; The Pastor as an Educational Force in the World’s Evangelization; The Pastor as a Financial Force in the World’s Evangelization; The Pastor as a Recruiting Force in the World’s Evangelization; The Pastor as a Spiritual Force in the World’s Evangelization. This book is highly recommended by the secretaries of various mission boards. The price is $1 net, and it is published by the Student Volunteer Movement, 3 West Twenty-ninth St., New York City.
Washington, D. C
By J. S. Washburn
THIS paper goes to press a little too soon to give a report of the meeting held in Lafayette Opera House, Sunday evening, March 5. The subject was appropriate to the time and occasion, The Inauguration of the King of Kings.
As will be seen by the list published on page 19, the amount of donations received up to the present time on the Washington building fund is $59,551.38. This leaves $40,448.62 yet to be raised. We still hope that, by a large increase in the donations, the amount needed to build the General Conference offices at least, will be furnished before the date of the opening of the General Conference, May 11. This can be done, and easily done if those who have been waiting to make large donations come forward at once to the help of this work.
From a recent Testimony in regard to the Washington work, I quote the following:—
We should now stir up the minds of our people in America to give willingly to the work that is being carried forward in Takoma Park. A school and a sanitarium are to be established in this place. A building in which publishing work can be done is to be erected. As soon as possible, school and sanitarium work should be set in operation.
We hope that no one will become weary in the special effort that is being made to erect memorials for God in this important place. All our churches are to show an unselfish interest in this work, doing all in their power to hasten it forward. Let church officers counsel together, and present to the church the importance of prompt action, and let the prayers of the church ascend to heaven, that all may see that it is their duty to help.
