“Review and Herald” Extras

The Review and Herald has issued two Extras during the last few weeks, dealing with some of the great issues that are now stirring the minds of men. The following statement of contents will give some idea of the subject matter of these Extras:—

The War Extra

California Sunday Measure Defeated

By Editor

A TELEGRAM received from Elder J. O. Corliss just as we go to press states: “California initiative Sunday measure defeated. Complete campaign details next week.” We rejoice in this good word, and shall await with interest the report to be sent later.

Bible Worker Sails for Bahamas

By the steamer “Vigilance,” leaving New York October 30, Mrs. Almeda Haughey-Nelsen sailed for Nassau, Bahama Islands, being released by the West Michigan Conference in response to the call from the Bahamas for an experienced Bible worker.

General Conference Council Meeting

THE General Conference and the North American Division Conference Council closed an important as well as interesting and successful meeting last week. Reports of many important recommendations made by this council will be given next week.

The Ludingtons Go to Burma

By the Japanese liner “Awa Maru,” from Seattle, November 3, Brother D. C. and Mrs. Ludington are proceeding to Burma, to join the staff of the Meiktila Industrial School. Brother Ludington, graduate of Emmanuel Missionary College, had charge of the Battle Creek Industrial Academy last year. Mrs. Ludington has spent years in Central America and the West Indies, being the daughter of Elder H. C. Goodrich, who is now in the West Indian field.

British Union Financial Gains

A GOOD word comes from the British Union Conference. Elder W. J. Fitz-gerald writes of their financial report for the quarter ending September 30: “We should have felt pleased if we had barely held our own financially as compared with the third quarter of 1913; so you can well imagine how gratified we were when our reports all came to hand revealing a gain in tithes of $1,000, and in offerings to missions of about $1,250.” Truly the work moves forward in all these countries agitated and distressed by the great war. Nothing can stay the message of truth; but if the situation is prolonged, with increasing disturbance, we must expect to hear of serious depletion of the normal income in the European unions.

The Culmination of the Gospel Work

By Editor

the culmination of the gospel work

One million five hundred thousand copies of the War Extra have been issued, and orders are still coming in. No better literature can be found to place in the hands of our neighbors to show them the meaning of the things which are coming on the earth. Now while the minds of the people are stirred over the great war, and particularly over the part which Turkey will act in connection with it, is the time to circulate these Extras. Neither one of these Extras will pass out of date. Both should be circulated freely in every community. The price of either Extra is 50 cents a hundred; $4 a thousand, postpaid. Orders should be sent through your tract society, or direct to the Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

Encouraging Youth to Attend School

By Editor

WORD from our various educational institutions shows that our schools have opened with encouraging enrollments. It is a cause for rejoicing that so many of our young men and women are improving the opportunity which these schools afford for a preparation for the Lord's work. But there are many youth among us whose interest to secure this preparation has not been awakened. Surely we can do no higher kind of missionary work, nor any that will prove more fruitful in results, than to encourage the young men and women among us to enter our schools. A kind word of encouragement will do much many times in leading them to make a decision, and we know of no better place for the investment of means than for some of our brethren and sisters to assist financially worthy young men and women to obtain an education as laborers in this cause. Look around you in your church, and see what you can do in this field of missionary endeavor.

Join the Harvest Ingathering Campaign

Good reports are coming in from all parts of the field regarding the missions campaign now going on. The situation in Europe has awakened a spirit of inquiry as to the meaning of present-day events. The people generally are willing to read, and their sympathies are drawn out in behalf of those in distress. Those who have been out with the Harvest Ingathering REVIEW report a kindly reception and many substantial evidences of the interest of those they visit. If you have not already taken part in this campaign, you should not miss the opportunity it affords of getting in touch with your neighbors, in imparting to them by God's grace a spiritual blessing, and receiving in turn a blessing yourself.

Preserve the Week of Prayer Issue

By Editor

The Mission Board is sending a small quantity of this Week of Prayer number of the Review to conference tract society offices to supply those who may not receive the readings. Also this number is being furnished workers and isolated Sabbath keepers. We suggest that the readers of the Review preserve this issue for use later.

The above group of mission workers is located on Vavau Island in the Friendly group, South Pacific, and is made up of E. E. and Mrs. Thorpe, their little daughter Elva, three young Tongan women, and one other worker.
