The Daily Bulletin

By A. G. Daniells

Arrangements have been made to issue a Daily Bulletin during the thirty-fifth session of the General Conference, to be held in Oakland, Cal., March 27 to April 13, 1903. A larger staff of editors and assistants will be engaged in the preparation of the paper, by which we hope to make it even better than it has ever been in the past. It will contain complete statistical and general reports from our various conferences and mission fields, information regarding our organizations and institutions, as well as full stenographic reports of all conference proceedings, and of the Bible studies. The Bulletin should be carefully studied by all our people who desire full information with reference to our work in all parts of the world, as brought out in the conference. The subscription price is fifty cents for the session. All orders should be sent to the Pacific Press Publishing Co., Oakland, Cal., and at an early date, to insure the receipt of every number from the first. Orders may also be sent through any State tract society.

A. G. Daniells.

A Statement

By Editor

Since our recent fire a report has been in circulation that the Review and Herald Publishing House is not a denominational institution, and that the denomination as such has no rights in the institution; and the secular papers have taken up and have spread the report.

Some of our brethren feel anxious about such declarations, and desire to know what such rumors mean.

We take this opportunity of saying that the Review and Herald publishing house is truly and distinctly a Seventh-day Adventist Publishing House. For more than fifty years it has existed for the supreme purpose of fostering every branch of work connected with the third angel’s message. It has ever been loyal to the work of God; has stood by the General Conference in every emergency in the past; has fostered every new institution that has been started, to a greater or less extent, in nearly every part of the world, and has exerted a strong influence in behalf of the financial backing of the denomination.

While there is the third angel’s message to proclaim, or a lost world to be warned, we trust the Review and Herald shall stand at the front of the battle, doing valiant service for Prince Emmanuel. Though it has met with a great loss in its recent fire, the institution still lives, and the work it was designed to do will be carried on with renewed vigor.

What this denomination stands for, the Review and Herald represents. Wherever there is battle for right, and truth, and God, there we purpose to throw our interests and stake our all. This institution is "our institution." It does not belong to one man, nor to a set of men, but was founded by the denomination in its infancy, and to the denomination it shall ever be a true and humble servant.

Let us remember that the Review and Herald is distinctly God’s institution for advancing the third angel’s message.

Review and Herald Board.

Donations for the Washington Church

By Editor

We are much pleased to acknowledge a good list of donations this week for the benefit of the Washington (D. C.) church. We hope others will forward their contributions without delay, as the help is needed at once. Read Brother Washburn’s note on the fifteenth page.

The Sentinel of Christian Liberty

Since the first of January The Sentinel of Christian Liberty has been coming to us in the form of a weekly, instead of a monthly, magazine. It presents a neat, attractive appearance, and is filled each week with short, stirring articles and paragraphs. The publishers, The Pacific Press Publishing Co., 11 W. 20th St., New York City, will be glad to send sample copies free for examination.

Foreign Papers Move to College View

By Editor

Through an arrangement which is satisfactory to the Review and Herald Publishing Co., the General Conference Committee, and the Central Union Conference Committee, our Danish, Swedish, and German papers will hereafter be published at College View, Neb., in connection with the foreign departments of Union College. The papers will be under the same editorial management as before, and will be conducted on the same general plan. This change has been under consideration for some time, and would probably have been recommended at the next General Conference, but in view of the recent fire it seemed advisable to arrange the matter at once. We hope the editors will be greatly blessed and the papers greatly prospered in their new location.

Thanks for Sympathy and Support

By Editor

Our union conference and State papers have made very sympathetic references to our recent loss, and there has been a good response to the appeal for co-operation in extending the circulation of the Review. For the expressions of brotherly feeling and good will we wish to make our hearty acknowledgment.

Sister White’s Address to Battle Creek

By Editor

The article by Sister White which appears in this issue was read to the church in Battle Creek on Sabbath, January 17. The Tabernacle was well filled, although it was known that it could not be warmed, and a deep impression was made upon the large congregation. We expect that this matter will receive further consideration as soon as regular services can be resumed.

Adventist Leaders Visit Mexico

Brethren A. G. Daniells and W. C. White left Nashville, Tenn., on Sunday evening, January 18, for Mexico, planning to stop a day or two at New Orleans on the way. Brother W. T. Knox, the president of the Pacific Union Conference, met these brethren in Mexico, and they will together consider the interests of the work in that field. Brethren White and Knox will then return to California, and Brother Daniells will come directly to Battle Creek.

Reports Concerning the Denomination

We have received copies of State papers containing dispatches from Battle Creek dealing with the affairs of this denomination in general, and the Sanitarium and the Review Office in particular. While there is absolutely no foundation for some of these reports, there are a few significant statements which are repeated with such persistence as to give rise to the suggestion that they may be sent out for a purpose. It is a good time to think much, to say little, and to wait quietly for further developments. Those who know and love this message will not be disconcerted by an interview, or a letter, or a dispatch in the newspapers purporting to represent the sentiment of the denomination. The voice of this denomination is not expressed in that way.

A Temporary Reduction in Size

By Editor

On account of our limited space, we have been compelled to omit some of our regular departments for a few weeks, but we hope to resume the usual size after one more issue. In the meantime we can only ask our readers to bear patiently with us. All obituary notices, addresses, requests for publications, etc., which have been received, will be printed as soon as possible.

New Cover Design

The Advocate of Christian Education begins the new volume with a new and attractive cover design.

Sydney Sanitarium Opened

The Sydney Sanitarium, Wahroonga, New South Wales, has been opened for the reception of patients. The medical work is under the supervision of Dr. D. H. and Dr. Lauretta Kress.

Establishing a Sanitarium in England

By Editor

The illustration on the first page of this issue will help our readers to form a correct idea of the beauty of the country in which our sanitarium in England is located. The scenery in the valleys among the hills of Surrey is very attractive, and the surroundings for a health institution are ideal. We hope that the reading which was sent out last week to be read in all our churches next Sabbath, January 31, has been received, and that it will touch a responsive chord in the hearts of our people. We are deeply interested in this effort to establish a sanitarium in England, and we shall greatly appreciate the co-operation of our brethren and sisters in this matter.
