Articles and Reports for the “Review”
By Editor
WE greatly appreciate the many excellent papers, general and local, which are being published by this denomination. We feel that our union conference papers are doing an excellent work for their particular fields. We do not see how they could well be dispensed with. They are needed by every Seventh-day Adventist in order that he may keep in touch with the details of the local work. In the same way our general church paper is needed by every believer in order that he may be kept informed of this great world-wide movement. We are glad that both the general church paper and the local conference paper are found in so many homes. For this reason we do not feel that the REVIEW AND HERALD and the union conference papers should duplicate reports and general articles. We are glad always to receive reports and articles from our brethren throughout the field. In fact the very life of the REVIEW AND HERALD is dependent upon these communications. But we feel that in justice to our large family of readers we should ask that all articles written for the REVIEW be prepared exclusively for this publication. Of course we have no objection to the publication of any article in any paper after it has once appeared in the columns of the REVIEW. If our brethren desire to report both to the REVIEW and to their local paper they should prepare a separate report for each paper. Then, too, there is another consideration. We have in our files a large number of accepted articles which are awaiting their turn for publication. Many of these are excellent articles. Surely it would be much better for us to publish these than to print articles or reports which are to be duplicated in local papers. We shall endeavor to follow this plan hereafter just as far as our knowledge will permit, and kindly ask that our contributors cooperate with us in making it effective.
