about the preparation for that event. - —The removal of the Pacific Press publishing office from New York will make it necessary for the Maine Tract Society to settle in full for any indebt- edness at the office, and this can not be done unless all our local societies come up and pay what they owe us. —We desire to call the attention of our church elders and librarians to the subject of “ Christ’s Object Les- sons.” The Maine Tract Society has paid in cash nearly fifty dollars to agents for commission in selling this book, and the churches ought to bear this rather than the society; for if they do not, we shall find ourselves in debt again, and all through an effort to help the schools clear themselves from debt. Many in the various churches have promised to pay fifty cents a book to have their quota and more sold, and have failed to do this. Will our church officers call attention to this matter? It should be adjusted at once so as to have the books clear before camp-meeting. E E. H. MorTON. VERMONT NOTICE. DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS : We have made up a list of those who in our judgment are so separated from their brethren that they do not have a chance to meet in the usual services and thus have the benefit of the read- ings from time to time, and have asked the Mission Board to send you the readings the same as to the elders and leaders of the several companies. We do this that you may have oppor- tunity to see the needs of the field the same as the rest. Also thinking you would appreciate our Union Conference paper, the GLEANER, we are asking the editor to send you a sample copy and trust you will see the good qualities of the same, and consider that when you do not have weekly communion with the work through this medium, you are likely to be ignorant of much that is ATLANTIC UNION OGLEANER transpiring of real interest and im- portance. Then, too, there is an ad- vantage to consider. From time to time your State president, secretary, Sabbath-school secretaries or others in the work, desire to call your atten- tion to some special department of the work, give some notice of meetings in your vicinity, and like notices; then, you see, there are the camp-meeting reports and general articles of special interest to every member of the con- ference. These we wish to get before you, not alone that we may reach you, but that you may have the help and inspiration contained in them from time to time. Accordingly, we are asking you to subscribe for this paper for a three months’ trial at ten cents ; then if you wish you can order it continued for a longer period. It is only fifty cents a year and is a weekly paper. We shall be pleased to receive your order at any time. Sincerely yours, F. M. Dana. Burlington, Vi. ECHOES OF PARADISE.” Tue musical world will no doubt be pleased to greet a new hymnal en- titled ¢ Echoes of Paradise,” compiled by Thoro Harris. We note in the preface that it “isthe fruit of an effort to meet the steadily increasing de- mand for a hymnal that shall fulfil all the requirements of the most ad- vanced standard of musical taste.” Among the testimonials is the fol lowing from B, F. Yeoman, professor of music in South Lancaster Acad- emy: “Your book, ‘ Echoes of Para- dise,” has been received, and I have given it a careful examination, I find that it contains much new and original music of a decidedly higher standard than the great majority of hymnals upon the market to-day. I take pleasure in commending it to the public.” The work contains three hundred and twenty pages, and three hundred (7) 391 and thirteen hymns, many of which are entirely new. Price, bound in cloth, single copy, thirty-five cents, or thirty dollars a hundred. Address Thoro Harris, 3012 Seventh Street, Northwest, Washington, ID. C. Berore us lies a four-page leaflet entitled ¢ The Eastern Question.
