Special Notice.

By James White

RULES FOR CORRESPONDENTS.

1. When you write to this Office, use good paper, good pens, and best black ink. Then take time to write carefully and well.

2. Never mix up business matters on the same leaf with other writing. Put your business items on a part of the sheet by themselves, under the head of BUSINESS.

3. All articles designed for publication should be marked, For the Review AND HERALD, For the Youth’s Instructor, or For the Health Reformer, as the case may be. Let these be written plainly, carefully, and with as few words as possible to express clearly the ideas introduced. Short articles are most desired.

4. Do not trouble our clerks to read long letters of experience, or statements of your position and faith. They receive more than fifty letters each day, and all such matters, not designed for publication, are worse than lost. They do no one any good. They weary the patience of clerks, and cost precious time to write them. We call for clear, sharp, spirited articles for our periodicals; also, business letters, devoted to business, and nothing else; and beg of our friends to save us the pain of reading long, wordy letters.

5. All Drafts, and all Money Orders, should be made payable to REVIEW AND HERALD. Do not forget this. And remember also to address all letters, excepting those strictly personal, to REVIEW AND HERALD.

JAMES WHITE, Pres’t. S. D. A. P. A.
