OUR NEW PAPER.

By John Nevins Andrews; D. T. Boudreau

The larger part of the matter for our first number is now in type and made up into pages. We think it will be a choice number. We had thought to publish a sheet of the same size as the REVIEW before its enlargement, but have gladly accepted the generous advice of the General Conference Committee and shall issue a sheet of the present size of the REVIEW and the SIGNS. Our printer has a stock of paper of suitable size for such a sheet as we thought to publish; but not large enough for the sheet we now think to issue. It therefore becomes necessary to order paper from the mill and the manufacturer could not fill our order for some ten days. Perhaps the delay is no greater than is necessary for our part of the work; for very great labor and care are demanded, under the circumstances, on the part of those who prepare the matter and correct it as it comes from the printer. We have not a moment of leisure, and in fact we feel so deep an interest in this sacred work that we desire no leisure, only as we would find time for other important duties.
If the providence of God favors our effort, we will have a quantity of our sheet at Battle Creek by, or before, the 10th of August next. No doubt errors will be found in the work and failures in the matter of good taste. But while some of these will be because of our deficiencies, others will be occasioned by the impossibility of obtaining at the present time some of the things which we should choose to use. We are grateful for the long patience of our brethren in America, while waiting for us to make this important advance in the work. We are also grateful for the excellent counsel of the General Conference Committee and for their generous assistance.
We now expect to print our first number the first week in July, and hope hereafter to be on time each month. We shall be grateful for communications from the friends of truth in America, whether written in French or in English. Nothing will have a more cheering influence upon the cause in Europe than a record of the progress of the work in different places in America. We ask the assistance of those who love the cause of truth. We believe that God will crown our efforts with success. We feel that God is helping in our work, and we are hopeful in him.
