Transfer of the Pacific Health Journal
By Editor
At the recent session of the Pacific Union Conference the following action was taken:— Whereas, There is need of a low-priced, popular health journal, on which all our people can unite in giving a large circulation; and,— Whereas, It should bear such a general name, and be published in such a place, as will make it a representative of the whole field; therefore,— We recommend, (a) That our brethren at Washington, D. C., be invited to publish such a journal, and that we pledge it our hearty support; and (b) that the Pacific Health Journal be offered to the Review and Herald of Washington, D. C., and that they be invited to change its name and make-up as they may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose mentioned above. In harmony with these recommendations arrangements have been perfected for the transfer of the Pacific Health Journal by the California Medical Association, the present publishers, to the Review and Herald Publishing Association of this city, and the magazine will be published here, beginning with the July number. The June number of the Journal will contain the following announcement:— In view of the transfer of the Pacific Health Journal by the present publishers to the Review and Herald Publishing Association of Washington, D. C., it seems proper that at least a brief statement should appear in this issue concerning the plans for the future of the magazine. It is the purpose of the new publishers to make the magazine a worthy exponent of the true principles of health and temperance reform in their broadest application to the physical and spiritual welfare of the people. We intend to make the instruction simple and practical, dealing with those questions which enter so largely into the common experiences of the home life, seeking to stimulate the desire for the better way of living, and to impart as much help as possible in the application of right principles. As the home of the magazine will now be removed from the Pacific coast, and as it is the intention of the publishers to give it a general circulation, it has seemed advisable to change the name, adopting one which would be more in harmony with the changed circumstances. The magazine will hereafter contain thirty-two pages, besides the advertising pages, and cover. It will be divided into appropriate departments and suitably illustrated. The price will remain as heretofore, five cents a copy or fifty cents a year. We are confident that all the past friends of the magazine will be pleased to know that Dr. G. H. Heald will be retained on the editorial staff. All the present subscribers to the Pacific Health Journal will receive the magazine under its new name for the full term of their paid subscriptions. We invite the co-operation of all who are interested in the advancement of the principles for which this magazine stands, and pledge our earnest effort to make it worthy of their continued support.
