Our New American Secretary

On July 1, Elder W. W. Eastman, the secretary of the Publishing Department of the North American Division Conference, entered upon his duties. To many of the readers of the REVIEW, Elder Eastman will need no introduction. He began in the book work in Texas as a canvasser in 1890. Two years later he was made field agent, in which capacity he served three years. He was then invited to labor in the West Indian field, where he spent eight years. Returning to Texas, he again occupied the position of field agent of that State for three years. He was then elected general agent of the Southwestern Union, holding this position five years. The Lord especially blessed Brother Eastman in laying a good foundation and building up a solid, permanent work in that union. Sixteen months ago he was elected circulating manager of the Southern Publishing Association. He left this position to accept the call made at the General Conference to take the secretaryship of the Publishing Department of the North American Division Conference.

As Elder Eastman's responsibilities will bring him into closer relationship with the general department, we extend to him a cordial welcome, praying that God will especially bless him in the important work to which he has been chosen.
