In foreign fields Bible distribution
goes on through the hands of the mis-

hardships of many of these Bible sell

wonders how people are found who are
faithful to endure them. The distribu-
ton of the Bible In America goes on
through home agencies. auxiliary Bible
societies. young peoples associations
in Sunday schools. and through the
home mission societies. There are also
many Bible sellers. some of them en-

are quite equal to those on foreign

A cordial invitation is extended.

First steps toward increasing the mis-
sion funds of the General Conference
of Seyenth-day Adventists to between
$500. 900 and $4,000 year have been
taken through movement that has
been started by several of the leaders
looking to the organization of all the
countries in the far east into one diVi-
sion conference similar to those in
North America and EUROPE anu

tions there in their various phases.
A petition has just been received at
the worlds headquarters of the de-
nomination in Takoma Park. from
Shanghai, China, asking that Japan.
Korea, Manchuria. China, Mongolia, IN
dia, the Philippines. the Malay penin-
sula, Siam, Australasia. the East In
dies and other countries in the orient
be set off into what would be known
as the Asiatic division. and that the
constituency in North America be asked
to give their financial support to the
plan to extend the denomination in all
these places in a more organized way
than ever before.
The plan, il adopted. would require
the sending out of a large number OF
ministers, Bible workers. schooi teach,
ers and other gospel laborers. as well
as an increase in the missionary ap-
preparations of 100000 year over
what it was last year.
The petition asking that these pians
be made at the coming fall council OF
the general conference was signed by
