Important Announcement
By Editor
After giving the question careful consideration, the trustees of the Review and Herald Publishing Co. have decided to call the annual meeting of the stockholders, to be held the latter part of April. This will be after the next session of the General Conference, which will be held March 27 to April 13, and will give opportunity to counsel with representatives of the work in all parts of the field. In the meantime the trustees are making provision for carrying forward the denominational printing without any serious interruption. At the earliest possible time such machinery and material will be purchased and installed as will make it possible to print our periodicals, the tracts, pamphlets, and books, also to bind the books, which will be needed in addition to the large stock now on hand. It is difficult to secure machinery promptly now, as nearly all the manufacturers are behind their orders, but the prospect now is that a good share of this machinery will be in place by the first of February. Until that time, it will be necessary to issue the Review as a sixteen-page paper, but we shall return to the usual number of pages just as soon as our facilities will permit. We believe our readers will appreciate our efforts to issue the paper without interruption, although under trying circumstances, and will bear patiently with us until we can secure the necessary machinery with which to produce a twenty-four-page paper. Many appreciated letters expressing Christian sympathy and pledging substantial support and co-operation are being received by the managers and editors of the Review and Herald, and this acknowledgment is made to assure those who have written that their expressed interest has proved a strong support in a very trying time, and that these kind and thoughtful acts are a source of great encouragement, and are greatly appreciated. There is also a noticeable increase in the number of renewals and new subscriptions for the Review coming in since the fire. This is a practical demonstration of a genuine interest in this old-time friend, which has come message-laden to the homes of our people for the past fifty years. Now that it has had a great loss, and is in the midst of a severe trial, every cheering word and every new subscription is of great importance, and is much needed. It is hoped that the people throughout the entire field will now come to the support of the Review and send in their yearly subscriptions, that this loss occasioned by the recent fire may not in any way hinder the work of this denominational organ.
