ECHOES FROM THE FIELD.
NOTES AND ITEMS.
Brother Bruce Shaw and wife have
lately moved to Nebraska,
Do not neglect to order the General
Conference Daily Bulletin.
After the General Conference is over,
those who have not had the Bulletin will
regret it.
“IF ALL OUR MEMBERS WERE
JUST LIKE ME, WHAT KIND OF
A SOCIETY WOULD OURS BE.”
It is now time to order the General
Conference Daily Bulletin. It will give
daily reports of the Conference pro-
ceedings.
Brother J. Z. Walker, one of our Con-
ference workers, has moved from Trini-
dad to Montier, Missouri, He writes us
they find a needy field there.
We just received word that Elder and
Mrs. Wightman. are in central Missouri,
working just as enthusiastically as ever
in the interests of Civil and Religious
Liberty.
No Seventh-day Adventist who desires
to keep in close touch with the advance-
ment of our special work can afford to
be without the General Conference Daily
Bulletin.
Elder Lair is now making an extended
trip in the southern part of our Confer-
ence. Hehas visited Trinidad, Alamosa,
Monte Vista, Salida and other churches
aud companies along that route.
‘Why not order all papers, books, etc,
through your librarian? Is not that what
you elected her for? She will gladly do
it, and it will often save you some work
and postage, as'she is writing us nearly
every week anyway. :
We are pleased to note, since running
the article in the ECHOES on the question
of diet, that many prominent writers are
taking a strong position in favor of less
flesh foods as a part of our diet. They
say that our system does not need it, and
that it is positively injurious to us.
Many of our readers will be surprised
to learn of the untimely death of Elder
J. M. Rees, as given in last week's Re
view. Elder Rees was once president of
the Colorado Conference, and had a
large number of warm friends in Colo-
rado. The ECHOEs extends a hearty
sympathy to his family in their sorrow.
Yet we sorrow not as those who have no
hope.
In a letter from Brother L. B. Schick,
who is now canvassing near Hamilton,
Missouri, we learn that while he was de-
livering books the other day, the horse
‘which he was riding became frightened,
threw him, and then stepped on him with
both feet, tearing his overcoat, undercoat
and shirt. “When he wrote he said he
did not know just how badly he was hurt,
but was thankful that it was no worse.
Our EcHOES readers will remember
Brother Schick as one of our former
bookmen.
* Reporting.
Let all the Missionary Volunteer sec-
retaries be sure to report to their church
librarian, as well as to the Conference
Missionary Volunteer secretary. Read
Note 1 on the society report blank. Do
not fear that this will duplicate reports.
We know how to handle them here in
the office.

do, March 16, 1909, of appendicitis, Vona
May Rambo, oldest daughter of Mrs.
Jacob Lutes. Vona was 11 years and 6

months and 14 days. The funeral was
held at the home in Vernon, and little
Ross was laid to rest in the cemetary at

and spoke of our hope because of the
resurrection morning so soon to dawn,
W. D. EMERY.
Died, at Florence, Colorado, March 31,
Sister Abigail A. Jones, aged 84 years.
Sister Jones was born in Nicaraugua
County, New York. While but a youth,
she, with her parents, moved to Michi-
gan, where they lived until she was mar-
ried to Mr. Crippen. The result of this
union was two- sons, who survive her,
Her husband dying, she was married
again to a Mr, Cutler, and he dying, she
was married to Mr. Jones, whom she sur-
vived several years. While young, she
became a member of the Christian church
and was a consistent member of that
body until twelve years ago, when she
was privileged to hear present truth un-
der the preaching of Elder E. T. Russell.
Since that time she has been a member
of the Seventh-day Adventist church.
She fell asleep with the assurance that
her Redeemer was soon coming to awake
His sleeping children. Services were
held at the home of her son, Mr. Crip-
pen, and words of comfort from Psalms
90:10 were spoken by the writer toa large
concourse of people.

A New Feature.
A Religious Liberty Department will
appear in the May Signs Monthly and be
a permanent feature thereafter. This
will be good news to our many friends.
The Current Events, Prophetic, Missions,
Temperance, Bible Readings, Home,
and first mentioned Department will
give our people a well balanced monthly
magazine covering every point of God's
truth. A better means of getting this
truth before the people would be hard to
find,
Important Articles.
Besides the articles by Professor Rine
on Spiritualism which will begin April 14
in the Signs of the Times (weekly); be-
sides a. very interesting series of articles
from Professor Howell on “The Bible in
Greece,” giving one a wonderful knowl-
edge of that country and people; besides
nearly a score of very excellent articles
from Mrs. E. G. White, we have just re-
ceived six special ones from her pen:
“God in Nature,” two articles.
“A Personal God.”
“God is Qur Father,” two articles,
“Christian Growth.”
These are articles of specially striking
interest, touching upon one of the great
mooted questions of the present day: Is
God in Nature? What has He to do
with it? Are Nature's laws God’s laws?
Can we obtain a complete revelation of
God in Nature? These things are clearly
set forth in these articles by Mrs. White.
This special series that we have named
will begin the first issue in May. They
ought to be read by all.
Besides these there will be splendid
practical articles on Christian godliness
from her pen every week.
Do you Know how many churches
there are in our Conference, the
amount of tithe paid last quarter, as
well as Sabbath school donations?
Those who are subscribers for the
Echoes get this information regu-
larly.
