Important Notice Regarding Change of Committee on Song-Book

By Frederick Griggs

The name of F. E. Belden was published in the Review of February 21 as a member of the large committee of twenty-five that was appointed by the General Conference Committee to select the hymns for the new proposed song-book for gospel workers. We have received word from him that he does not care to act on this committee. Accordingly, as chairman of the committee, I take the liberty of withdrawing his name as a member of the committee, in deference to his request. I would appoint H. F. Ketring in his stead. The committee will then stand as follows:—

Frederick Griggs, W. A. Westworth, W. A. Colcord, C. C. Lewis, R. W. Parmele, H. R. Salisbury, H. C. Lacey, J. S. Washburn, W. W. Prescott, William Simpson, L. Warren, H. F. Ketring, C. H. Edwards, C. H. Jones, M. C. Wilcox, Dr. W. A. Ruble, D. E. Scoles, H. S. Shaw, J. W. Beardslee, B. F. Stureman, Mrs. W. A. Ruble, Mrs. W. H. McKee, Mrs. Rhoda Dunlap, Mrs. Vesta J. Farnsworth, Mrs. Andrew Nelson.

We shall be pleased to have our people everywhere make suggestions to this committee of those songs which they think will be valuable for use in our evangelistic efforts. This proposed book is to be a small one which can be sold for ten or fifteen cents at the outside, and consequently can not contain a large number of songs; but the committee desires to have a large number from which to select, and will appreciate the help of our people everywhere in this matter.

FREDERICK GRIGGS.
