George M. Sorensen, secretary of M. I. A. of the Scandinavian Mission, Korsgade 11, Copenhagen, Denmark, sends a report for the year ending April 30, 1905, from which it appears there are eleven associa- tions in that mission with 403 members enrolled; 275 regular weekly meetings were held, and a total of 341 meetings, with 1288 miscella- neous exercises. These reports from Australia, Samoa and Scandinavia were too late to be included in the regular annual report of the associa- tions read at the late annual conference. We congratulate our friends in those lands and wish them continued and additional success. MANUALS READY FOR DISTRIBUTION. The Manuals for 1905-6 are ready for distribution. Orders should be sent to the General secretary, 214 Templeton Building, Salt Lake City, now, without delay. Ward presidents should only order for their immediate needs, and then re-order when more are needed; this to avoid the return of so many at the end of the season — a cause of great ex- pense in postage and expressage. It is important that every member of the improvement associations should have a Manual, to enable him to pursue the season's lessons intelligently.
