“THE SENTINEL OF CHRISTIAN LIBERTY.”
By Editor
This is not the new name of a new periodical, but the new name of an old periodical. The American Sentinel was first published by the Pacific Press Publishing Company in 1886. Its object was to protest against anything and everything that tended toward a union of Church and State. It was set for the defense, in the field of thought, of the principles of human rights enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, and guaranteed by the Constitution. It met all Americans on common ground. In May, 1900, the journal was moved to Chicago, and published under the name, The Sentinel of Liberty. America had committed itself, in its three co-ordinate branches of government, to the evils of religious legislation. It has repudiated the equality of man set forth in the Declaration of Independence. It professes (not yet in its fundamental law, which is practically set aside, but) in high and influential circles and Supreme Court decisions, to be a Christian nation. The Sentinel of Christian Liberty desires to meet them on this blessed and holy ground, and reason with all thoughtful people over the great issues pending in this nation, and in the world. Once again it is published by the Pacific Press Publishing Company, from its office in New York City, 11 West Twentieth Street. It will be published monthly in magazine form; its first issue is November, 1901. It will contain 64 pages and cover. Its price is $1.00 a year. Its editor is John D. Bradley, one who understands thoroughly the principles of Christian liberty, and who for some time was editorially connected with it. There are announced the following editorial contributors:— A. T. Jones, a former editor of the Sentinel and a well-known writer on the subject with which it deals; M. C. Wilcox, editor SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal.; A. G. Daniells, President of the General Conference; C. P. Bollman, editor Gospel Herald, Nashville, Tenn., and a former editor of the Sentinel; L. A. Smith, assistant editor Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich., and also a former editor of the Sentinel. It ought to, and we are sure will, be a strong journal, of great interest and mighty mission. To those who subscribe now, the journal will be furnished to the close of 1902, including the November and December issues of 1901, for $1.00. It will be furnished with the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, the two for one year, for $2.00. We hope that all friends of liberty will co-operate in giving the Sentinel a wide circulation.
