Resuming the Editorial Duties
By Uriah Smith
By the action of the Publishing Association, at its last session, the duties of editor have been again assigned to me. Although it has not been customary for such action to take effect till three weeks after the election, yet, on account of the worn condition of Bro. Andrews, owing to the incessant labor and taxation to which he has been subjected the past winter, the Trustees wish me to enter at once upon my duties. I therefore with this number, again assume the editorial responsibility of the Review. Grateful for the year's release which I have enjoyed from the confinement and cares of the Office, I should have preferred, if I had consulted my own feelings, a continuance of this freedom. But I wish to labor wherever the little service that I can render, may be most acceptable; and as my brethren have again assigned me to this place, I have only to say that I return to these duties cheerfully, and with an increased interest in the work of the last warning message, and an enlarged view of its magnitude and importance. I feel, in a measure at least, the responsibilities that are laid upon me; and I know that I shall not be able adequately to meet them, without especially receiving divine assistance. For this I shall seek; and to this end, I solicit the prayers of believers everywhere, for the prosperity of the Review, this important organ of the work, in which all lovers of the truth have a common interest.
U. SMITH.
