The Gospel Sentinel

SINCE the decision of the Southern Publishing Association to change the Watchman from a weekly missionary paper to a monthly missionary magazine was announced, there have been many letters received from workers throughout the country approving the plan, and there are many who are planning to use the monthly in their missionary work, and others who will enter into the sale of the magazine as a business. There are hundreds who might do this to excellent advantage to themselves financially, as well as doing a grand work in giving the truth to the people.
At the same time the association has received many urgent appeals to start a small weekly missionary organ at a very low price, that can be taken in large quantities by our people everywhere, and circulated freely “like the leaves of autumn.” There are many of our people who desire to do missionary work, but their limited means did not permit them to take large clubs of the weekly Watchman.
At the recent annual meeting of the Southern Publishing Association, at which were present representatives from the three union conferences comprising its territory, and also from the General Conference, the necessities for such a paper were considered, and in view of the fact that there seemed to be an imperative need for such a journal, it was decided to issue an eight-page weekly paper to be called The Gospel Sentinel.
The subscription price will be 50 cents a year, with a special price of only 25 cents a year in clubs of five or more to one address. While the paper will be small, yet the standard of excellence of the Watchman will be maintained in The Gospel Sentinel. The articles will be short, but full of the special message for this time. The first number will be issued early in February. Orders should be sent in at once so as to receive the first number.
