Letters From Daniells and Thompson

LETTERS received from Elders A. G. Daniells and G. B. Thompson report an exceptionally smooth passage across the Atlantic. These brethren will attend the general meetings in Europe before the opening of the General Conference council. This council meeting of our European workers and leading workers from the United States will be a very important gathering. It should be remembered in our prayers.

The Gospel’s Closing Work

By Editor

In the early spread of the gospel it was reserved for the lands of darkness to witness the mighty workings of God's power. We are beginning to see this repeated in connection with the closing gospel work. The report of Brother Miller in this number, of the way God is working upon hearts in the great Chinese empire, is but one indication of this. The fulness of time is come, when the message of the Lord's soon coming must go to all nations. God has gone out before us, and has prepared the soil for the reception of the seed. Let us earnestly follow the leadings of the Spirit, in order that we may take advantage of every opening providence.

The Search-light Missionary Boat

There is now a missionary boat, a power cruiser, dedicated to the service of the advent message on the Alaskan coast. It is called the “Search-light.” Brother Fred W. Temple, of Ketchikan, southern Alaska, being master and operator. He sends us a copy of a poster announcing: “The ‘Search-light’ has been designed and built for the Alaska Marine Missionary service, and will be held open for charter only until a small indebtedness standing against the boat has been paid off, after which she will enter upon her original duties.”

The Johnston Sunday Bill

By Editor

ALL will read with much interest the report of the hearing of the Johnston Sunday bill, as given in the Christian Liberty department. Little by little, apparently slowly but nevertheless surely, do we see the elements strengthening and organizing for the final conflict, in fulfilment of the prophecy of Revelation 13. That which we accepted as a matter of faith years ago we now have plainly revealed before us. Every step in the progress of Sunday enforcement and church-and-state union should appeal to us as a confirmation of the prophecy of the Word, and as an earnest of the ultimate fulfilment of every prediction. We are living in a thrilling period of earth's history. Rapidly transpiring events on every side speak in no uncertain tones of the speedy coming of our blessed Lord. Even though the days be evil, let us rejoice in that they betoken coming deliverance, as the hours of darkness precede the breaking morn.

A. H. Mason Appointed Treasurer

Last week Brother A. H. Mason connected with the Review and Herald Publishing Association as treasurer. For several years the association has felt the need of connecting with the office management additional assistance, particularly in this department, and it considers itself fortunate in securing of Brother Mason for this position. This event relieves Brother I. A. Ford of the double burden which he has carried during the past year, and enables him to devote his full energy to the management and promotion of the Book department.
