P. O. CHANGES—RENEW IN SAME NAME
Hundreds of Post Offices are dropped in favor of new ones every year. Any change in yours should be immediately reported. Sisters renewing WATCH TOWER subscriptions should give the same initials as at first or mention the change, and thus save us and themselves much trouble.
All friends of the Truth properly feel it an honor and a privilege to entertain the Pilgrim Brethren during their brief stays. However, the interests of the Truth and the comfort of the Pilgrims should also be considered. The Elders, or, under their direction, the Class Secretary, should see to it that Pilgrims are entertained in homes where they will not be a burden and where they will be comfortable. Those who travel and preach continuously are more or less under a nervous strain and need comfort, proper rest, and some degree of privacy for meditation. All having the interests of the work at heart should, therefore, cheerfully cooperate that the Pilgrim may be entertained in a home where accommodations are suitable.
The entire Class would surely be disgraced if the Society's representative were otherwise treated. We are sure that only thoughtlessness on the part of some has made this suggestion necessary.
After the close of the hymn the Bethel family listens to the reading of "My Vow Unto the Lord," then joins in prayer. At the breakfast table the MANNA text is considered. Hymns for April follow: (1) 5; (2) 196; (3) 263; (4) 46; (5) 102; (6) 37; (7) 114; (8) 145; (9) 99; (10) 214; (11) 191; (12) Vow; (13) 7; (14) 182; (15) 290; (16) 14; (17) 279; (18) 198; (19) 154; (20) 273; (21) 221; (22) 324; (23) 8; (24) 261; (25) 166; (26) 72; (27) 195; (28) 272; (29) 1; (30) 286.

We have on hand some very neat Colporteur Cases which hold a complete set of STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES, regular edition. These Cases are neatly gotten up and much resemble the doctor's case. Price, $3; charges collect.
We have now the First Volume of SCRIPTURE STUDIES and the DRAMA SCENARIO in the Armenian Language. Order as needed—usual prices.
TISCHENDORF NEW TESTAMENTS EXHAUSTED
Our stock of Tischendorf New Testaments is exhausted. We can find none in the United States. We are seeking some in Great Britain—thus far without success. The book is published in Germany and is not obtainable from there under present conditions.
ANOTHER VOLUNTEER NUMBER OF B. S. M.
Those who have used the first Volunteer matter of the season and who are, therefore, properly ready for our second number for 1916 volunteering, will please notice that it will be ready for them shortly and that orders may be sent in at once. The leading article in it will be "What Is A Christian?" This article seems to appeal to a very large number of intelligent, conscientious, thinking people, and, we believe, will be a means of doing much good.
Regular Volunteer matter is sent "Collect," thus insuring prompt delivery; but the Society reimburses the transportation expense on receipt of the bill for same.
