Change of Address
By A. C. Bourdeau
I AM now located in Kalamazoo, Mich., having recently sold my property in Battle Creek, and changed my residence to the city of Kalamazoo. My permanent address is now 1211 March St., Kalamazoo, Mich. The Lord is blessing me in the work here. After the morning services on Sabbath, December 4, I baptized two willing souls in the church here, in the presence of a large number of interested friends. I trust that all will pray for the success of the Lord's work here in this place.

Special Notice, Vermont and New Hampshire
By O. MONTGOMERY
IN harmony with the recommendation passed at the Atlantic Union Conference that the Central New England Conference cede to the Vermont Conference all the State of New Hampshire, with the workers laboring there, our executive committee has thought best to call a special session of the Vermont Conference, together with the workers and representatives of the New Hampshire field, to convene Jan. 15, 16, 1910, for the purpose of reorganizing and binding the two fields together in one larger and stronger conference.
This will be a very important meeting. Matters of considerable moment will be before us for consideration. Plans will be laid for the future which we believe will mean much for the cause of God in this field. We sincerely trust that each church will send a delegation of strong, able men who can advise with us and counsel us in these things. The delegates will be chosen by each church in the same way and on the same basis as for the regular annual session. Each church is entitled to one delegate without regard to numbers, and one additional delegate for every ten members. The churches in New Hampshire will elect their delegates on the same basis.
This meeting, being called for only two days, Sabbath and Sunday, will not take the people away from home for a long time. They can come Friday and leave Monday. I hope each one will be present at the first meeting Friday evening.
The place of holding this meeting, together with the arrangements for entertainment, will be announced later, but we expect it will be at White River Junction, Vt., if we can make satisfactory arrangements.
O. MONTGOMERY.

ELDER D. H. OBERHOLTZER'S address is now Madison, Wis., care the Sanitarium.
Westworth Sails for China
In response to the invitation of the General Conference Council at College View, Elder W. A. Westworth and wife and two children sailed, doubtless, on the twenty-fourth, from Vancouver, British Columbia, for China. Elder Westworth takes the superintendency of the China union mission field. Elder Charles Thompson, formerly of Kansas, takes the presidency of the Southeastern Union Conference.
South America's First Sanitarium
In the Field department of this number, Elder J. W. Westphal, president of the South American Union Conference, tells of the progress of their first sanitarium enterprise in South America, and of the necessity for studying simplicity, owing to lack of funds. In a letter received from Dr. G. B. Replogle, who is assisting Dr. R. H. Habenicht at the Argentine sanitarium, we learn a few interesting particulars regarding the equipment in this institution that has grown up on the plains of Entre Rios:—
“At this writing there are from twenty to thirty patients in the house. The ground floor in the new building is finished, and full of patients; the upper floor will be ready in about two weeks. We are able to furnish the rooms with beds and bedding as we go, and use kerosene boxes for stands and tables. However crowded the conditions, the patients are getting the good, and go home well pleased. The busy season is just ahead of us.”
Annual Offering for Missions
If any reader of the Review has not had a share in the making up of the annual offering for missions, it is not too late yet. Send the gift in to your church or conference treasurer, or to I. H. Evans, acting treasurer of the General Conference, Takoma Park, D. C.
Mission House and School in Asmara
WE have a letter from Elder L. R. Conradi, dated November 26, from Asmara, near the Abyssinian border. He reports our missionaries well, and busy. They will probably call for about two thousand dollars to put up a mission house and school, and to provide equipment for a small industrial mission.
New India Health Magazine
By Editor
WE have received from India the first number of the new India health magazine, the Herald of Health. It is edited by H. C. Menkel, M. D., and printed on our mission press at Lucknow. It is a practical little magazine, aiming especially to be helpful to the people of India, and we trust it may have a large circulation.
German Youth’s Paper Launched
THE International Publishing Association, of College View, Neb., is starting a German youth's paper called Der Jugendbote (Youth's Messenger). It is an eight-page monthly; price, fifty cents a year.
Missionary Teacher for Guatemala
Last week Miss Alice Fieldberg, of the Foreign Mission Seminary, and stenographer in the Sabbath-School Department, left Washington in response to a call for a teacher in Guatemala City, Central America. She has doubtless sailed this week from New Orleans.
Work for Foreign-Language People
By Editor
The January second-Sabbath missionary reading deals with a most interesting topic, that of work in behalf of the people in the United States who speak foreign languages. We hope no church or company is failing to receive these second-Sabbath missionary programs, which furnish a most helpful and instructive service, appealing to action and effort on the part of all.
Church-School Missionary Exercises
No doubt many a church-school closed its first term last week with missionary exercises. We were glad to share in the fine program arranged by the children of our Takoma Park church-school. At the close of the program the children brought forward an offering of $23.50 for China, representing their recent efforts to raise money for the missionary cause.
Early History of the Seventh-day Adventist Sabbath-School Work
The Review and Herald Publishing Association has just brought out a booklet by Mrs. L. Flora Plummer, corresponding secretary of the Sabbath-School Department, entitled “Early History of the Seventh-day Adventist Sabbath-School Work.” It is a very interesting presentation of an interesting topic, and should be read by all. It has forty-eight pages, with cover, and is advertised at five cents.
The 1910 Year Book
By H. E. Rogers
SECRETARIES of conferences and those in charge of institutions have kindly sent information recently for revising the denominational directory for publication in the 1910 Year Book. This matter is now in type, and the printing will be begun in a few days. In the meantime there is opportunity for further corrections if sent promptly. If changes in officers or in addresses of workers have been made since these reports were forwarded, if the information is sent immediately, these additional corrections may be made, and thus the Year Book can go to press with the latest information available. Only prompt reports will be of use in this case, however.
H. E. ROGERS, Statistical Secretary.
Wanted — Pioneer Canvassers
By E. R. Palmer
ALMOST daily, urgent calls are coming to our general office from the far-away mission fields for strong young men as pioneer canvassers. Brother L. V. Finster, of Manila, Philippine Islands, writes:—
“Our book work is very promising here. I think it is the best field I have yet been in to sell books. We are very anxious for another good canvasser for the southern islands here. Haven’t you a good man to send along,—one who will not need looking after?”
The General Conference Committee has voted to send the man asked for as soon as a suitable man can be found. A call has already been sent out for two men for Porto Rico. We believe that two men have already been found to answer this call.
From old Mexico comes a call for two or three more canvassers to join the sturdy little band of faithful young men who have been winning such splendid victories in that country. We trust that the Lord will lay the burden of this call upon the men he wants for the service. We believe he will do it.
Brother Carl Weaks, former general agent of the North Pacific Union Conference, has arranged to sail from New York for India Jan. 12, 1910. The General Conference Committee has authorized the selection of two canvassers to accompany Brother Weaks.
Thus the calls are coming in, and being answered as rapidly as workers can be found and money can be secured to send them abroad. We wish to hear from some of our strong, faithful, successful young men who will count it a privilege to volunteer for India, Mexico, or the Philippine Islands. No one whose life is wholly consecrated to God need to tremble with fear at the thought of this kind of service. What better opening could be made for a strong, enterprising young man than one in a new mission field, to learn a language, gain experience, and grow up to be a burden-bearer in the work of the world.
We feel from our hearts that such opportunities are far greater and better than all the opportunities which we may covet at home, surrounded by riches, and honor, and friends.
Will those who will volunteer, please write us particulars concerning age, health, experience, responsibilities, expenses, etc. Please give references, so that we may write for information and counsel from one or more of our workers who are acquainted with you and your experience.
We trust that every reader of this call will join with us in prayer, that the men who are most needed may volunteer for this service. E. R. Palmer.
