Workers Leave Australia for India

We understand that Brethren G. S. and W. Joseph left Australia the middle of August for India, to engage in the colporteur work.

Harvest Ingathering Campaign Prospects

ON September 7 the second mail car loaded with Harvest Ingathering Signs left the Pacific Press siding. But many orders had been filled previously to these carloads. Some conferences, we learn, have already ordered more than double the number of papers they used during the entire campaign last year. The prospects are good for the best campaign yet in behalf of missions.

Publishing Representatives Visit Schools

THE REVIEW AND HERALD Publishing Association arranged to have a representative of the publishing house present at the opening of each of the leading denominational schools in the territory of the Review and Herald. Brother E. R. Palmer attended the opening at South Lancaster Academy, and I. A. Ford the opening exercises at the Mount Vernon Academy and at Emmanuel Missionary College.

Baptisms and Growth in the Philippines

AFTER returning from the Shanghai meeting, Brother L. V. Finster writes: “A week ago Sunday I baptized seven at Cavite, where Brother La Cruz has been laboring. Last Friday I went to San Pablo, and on Sabbath afternoon had the privilege of baptizing eighteen. There are about fifty now keeping the Sabbath in and around San Pablo. These believers have been brought out through reading, and through studying the truth with our colporteurs. Many came to see their first baptismal scene, and the Lord’s Spirit was present as we spoke to those assembled. As a result of our tent meeting at Baliwag, about fifty have begun to keep the Sabbath.” Truly the harvest is great, and the reapers are few.

Campaign for Review Subscriptions

By Editor

WE note with pleasure the campaign which is now being carried on throughout the North American Division in behalf of the REVIEW AND HERALD. A goodly number of new subscriptions have been received. We earnestly hope that this work will be prosecuted in every conference and in every church until every English-reading family among Seventh-day Adventists subscribes for our church paper. Where brethren and sisters are found who are too poor to subscribe, the church should make provision to supply them with the REVIEW.

Boettcher Banished From Russia

The following cablegram was received at the Mission Board office on the tenth of this month: “Moscow. Boettcher banished—Saratof. Will return to America. Snodgrass, Consul General.” Saratof is in southeastern Russia, not far from the Caspian Sea. Brother Boettcher’s American passports have saved him from the hardships of banishment, but the cause in Russia will suffer great loss in the necessary absence of this intrepid leader. Let us remember in earnest prayer our brethren and sisters in Russia at this time.

W. A. Spicer Returns From Africa

ALL will be pleased to learn of the safe arrival home of Brother W. A. Spicer, after his extended tour among the mission stations in South Africa. He left the office last January, and reached New York on his return September 9. He shows the effects of the African tropical sun somewhat, but is enjoying good health, and brings a very encouraging report of the progress the message is making in that distant field.

News From Skodsborg Sanitarium

Brother Christian Juhl, manager of the Skodsborg Sanitarium, passed through Washington last week, en route to the West, to visit his children. He brings a good report from across the water. The sanitarium is prospering financially, and in general the work in Europe, despite war conditions, is making progress — of course under many difficulties. Brother Juhl expects to return to his work early in December.

The Work in San Jose

ELDER A. E. PLACE, writing from San Jose, Cal., says: “We have a church membership here of about one hundred and thirty. At our Sabbath services one hundred and seventy-five or more are often present, and at the Sunday evening service about one hundred are usually in attendance. The interest is growing from day to day. I am now in my sixtieth year, and never have I been more settled in the positive conviction that the coming of Christ is very near, nor have I ever been filled with a greater determination to do my duty to both God and man.”

Typhoon on China’s Coast

THE typhoon which swept China's coast recently in the vicinity of Shanghai, with such a harvest of death and wreckage, did no serious damage at our mission headquarters, save in destroying some windows and injuring small shade trees. Many buildings in Shanghai were destroyed or severely damaged, the wreckage of shipping strewed the shore, and many lives were lost. Many of the vessels that sank carried not only the freight, but hundreds of the poor watermen and their families. The toll of death goes on, by war, pestilence, and the elements. How slow men are to learn the lessons of such calamities!

The Review as a Danger Signal

THE REVIEW came into existence through special instruction at the beginning of our work, and has been a strong factor in building up this work for more than sixty years, and doubtless will continue to be the voice of the denomination until the close of time. While it serves as an impelling force, imparting spiritual vitality and creating a working devotion in the promotion of all lines of our special work, it also serves, as revealed in the following testimonial, as a particular danger signal to all of our members: “I am taking the REVIEW, and trust I shall as long as it is published. I feel that all our people should have it in their homes, and I am confident that those who are able to take it and do not, are neglecting to do so at their peril.”
