SOUTHWESTERN UNION
was presented to me. I even began
to keep the Sabbath before she had
given a study on it, for I knew she
would find it in the Bible as well as
the other subjects presented.
She and her husband received a call
to another field of labor, and it was
planned that I should be baptized be-
fore they left. The following Sabbath
afternoon I was baptized in the
waters of the Slige, at the foot of the
Washington Sanitarium grounds.

A New Railroad Missionary
IN CLOVIS, New Mexico, we have
an active missionary hy the name of
Brother Cooley. He tells us of an
ascistant that he has secured on the
railway in the person of the news
agent on one of the trains. This
man has read Patriarchs und Proph-
ets, Desire of Ages, Daniel and Revel-
ation, and other books, and expressed
a desire of selling some of our lit-
erature on the train itself. Being
shown a selection of our twenty-five
cent booklets, he chose Christianity
at the Crossrocds and The Marked
Rible and at the time of writing had
sold twenty-three copies.
It rather reminds us of the story
of the stones, doesn’t it, when Jesus
said, “If these do not cry out the very
stones will do so.” The message must
go even though the Lord must raise
up news agents to give the glad story.

Church Missionary Secretaries
ARE you using your assistant?
According to the plans of the Home
Missionary department of the Gen-
eral Conference, the secretary of the
Missionary Volunteer Society is the
assistant to the missionary secretary
of the church. This is so stated in
Home Missionary Series Leaflet, No.
5, “The Church Missionary Secret-
ary,” p. 16.
Why not give this assistant of
yours good, real practical experience
during the Signs campaign by hav-
ing him or her take some of the mem-
bers of the church and solicit them
for their subscription for the club?
The leaflet alzo states, “Wherever
the church is of sufficient size, and the
magnitude of the work warrants,
another assistant secretary may be
RECORD
chosen to assist in the many details
attending a live and growing work.”
Why not have an assistant selected
by the church board permanently to
see that every member is a subserib-
er to the Review and Herald, to the
Watchman, to the Sabbath School
Worker, the {nstructor, the Little
Friend, the Home and School, the
Gazette, and other magazines? The
increase of volume of business would
well warrant such an assistant being
named.

Why Be a Vegetarian?
“THE Case Against Meat” in two
parts, will appear in the March and
April issues of Health. Dr. Avthur
N. Donaldson presents in these two
articles as strong facts and reasons
in favor of a vegetarian diet as have
ever been produced-—-mot arguments
based on tradition or bias, but sound
lucid scientific facets, given in a most
readable and convincing style.
If you are not having the advant-
age of the service of Health from
month to month, do not delay in sub-
scribing for it. Approximately one
thousand now single subscriptions are
being added every month. It costs
you only $1.50 a year (U. 8. A.) You
can secure the Signs and Health one
year each for only $2 (U. 8. A)
Address your Book and Bible House.
An Enlarged Prayer Meeting
THE elder of the Keene church,
Brother John Gepford, conceived the
idea that it would be a good plan to
review the message with our own
members, And so by the use of the
layman’s stereopticon and the films,
he is going over the old familiar mes
sage.
Members who have not been to
prayer meeting for years are begin-
ning to come. Parents bring their
children, who are anxious to see these
pictures. Outsiders, who have never
attended church, are beginning to
come to prayer meeting, The testi-
monies given after the pictures ring
with courage. Members tell how that
forty vears ago the truth first made
an entrance into their hearts, and
how cheered they are to review the
truths once again. The prayer meszt-
ing room is becoming small, as the
attendance has increased over one
hundred per cent.
