EDITORIAL NOTES Our new house of worship in Seattle will soon be near enough completed for the brethren to occu py with their meetings. Read Bro. McKinney’s article this week on prayer meetings. He makes some splendid points which should be heeded by many churches. It appears from the reports of the annual anti cooperative meet ings we have so far printed, that the brethren *in Washington Terri tory are fully alive to the interest of the cause in that field. We have a noble band of brethren in the Territory, and we are glad to know they are pushing forward tthe work. ----- We ask attention to the official statement of the Executive Com mittee in reference to tf»e case of Bro. Norton. We are sorry that any trouble among our mission aries to Jjadia should have ever arisen, or that, it was necessary to make it public; but as Bro. Norton has now been released from all obligation to the brethren, it is to be hoped that all things are work ■ng together for good to those who love God and the cause of missions.
