(1914–1951; monthly; R&H , 1914–1918, and SPA , 1948–1951; files, AU , AUC , LLU , UC , CoUC, R&H ). A magazine not intended for general circulation, but subscribed to by local churches to “furnish a medium for communicating the plans, policies, and instruction of the North American Division Committee to the church officers” to help them in building up their work.
It included programs for MV Society meetings, sermon and program material for the monthly and weekly church missionary services, special material for MV Week in the spring of each year (beginning 1922), poetry, discussions regarding the MV Reading Courses, and information to help plan the services and activities of the local church and to promote missions offerings; also, beginning September 1942, a section containing material for the Home and School Association. It was superseded by three new specialized periodicals—GO; MV Program Kit; and Adventist Home and School.
