Personal.

By J. M. Aldrich

A WORD in relation to myself. Our brethren have become informed ere this from the published report, that at the late Association meeting it was deemed proper to elect me as President of the Publishing Association. To say nothing of the fitness of this transaction, I offer the same as my only apology for allowing my name to be thus officially inserted in the Review as it now appears.

While I with the brethren deeply regret the occasion that gave rise to my election—viz., the enfeebled health, and consequent resignation of Bro. White, I feel grateful that I am accounted worthy by my brethren to fill so honorable and responsible a place in the cause of God, as that which they have assigned me. May God give me every needed grace, that I may discharge the duties incumbent on me in an acceptable manner, so that the cause may be advanced, and God glorified. J. M. ALDRICH.
