Through the courtesy of the -First Presidency and the Presiding Bishopric of the Church, we are pleased to be able to announce that the offices of the General Superintendency and the Improvement Era will be located in the new Bishop's Building on upper Main Street, Salt Lake City. All communications after the15th of December should be addressed to the Improvement Era, Rooms 20-22 Bishop's Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, where we invite all our friends and patrons to call and see us. The Fund and the Era. The attention of stake superintendents and ward officers is directed to the fact that the time for making collections of the General Fund is the second week in December and in February. Envelopes were distrib- uted in early November to the stake superintendents, and should now be in the hands of the officers of the associations. We trust that this important matter will he attended to promptly, and that each organiza- tion in the Church will seek to make its contribution this year 100 per cent, which means 25 cents from each member of your association. A little extra effort will enable you to bring your ward up to this basis. Brethren, let us make this year a banner year in this matter of the Gen- eral Fund contributions. In this connection, if you have not already made a thorough canvass for the Improvement Era, see to it that this shall also have immediate attention, as we desire to this year have every ward reach the five per cent of the Church population limit. Let us all give a lift. Presidents Winder and Lund Members of General Board At a meeting of the General Board of Young Men's Mutual Improve- ment Associations held on the 27th of October, President Joseph F. Smith nominated Presidents John R. Winder and Anthon H. Lund as members of the General Board Y. M. M. I. A., and they were unani- mously sustained. The Mutual Improvement Associations are to be con- gratulated upon receiving into the General Board these brethren whose influence and efforts for the Mutual Improvement cause are sure to be felt for great good throughout Zion.
