EDITORIAL NOTICE.

By J. H. Waggoner

It was not because of any desire to shrink from duty, however arduous, that I urged to be released from the position of resident editor of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The state of my health is such that I do not consider myself able to perform the duties of the position as they should be performed. To properly edit such a paper requires hard labor and much care. But at the earnest solicitation of the Directors of the Association, and of others, in whose judgment I have great confidence, I consent to take hold of the work, promising to do all in my power to fill the position acceptably. I cannot ask for more forbearance and kindness than was manifested toward me in my labors during the past year. For the success of that year much credit is due to the assistance and counsel of Sister L. M. Hall. Her experience in this Office and her watchful interest in the work has proved of great value.

But with all the help and all the wisdom of the world, we cannot be successful in such a work as this unless we have the help and direct blessing of God. Therefore, in behalf of myself and my associates in labor, I ask the prayers of all the friends of this cause and of our missionary paper.

The marks of credits will be as heretofore. The editors will be known by their initials. Original articles and our own correspondents will be known by signatures in SMALL CAPITALS. All selections will be credited in italics. Articles without signature are by the resident editor.
