The Sentinel Becomes the Sentinel of Christian Liberty
By L. A. S.
Have you seen a copy of the Sentinel in its new form? If not, send to the office of publication, 11 W. Twentieth St., New York City, and get one. No one should be ignorant of the nature, purpose, and necessity of this important publication. As has already been explained to our readers, the Sentinel is now a monthly magazine, has been removed to the metropolis of the country, and is issued by its former publishers, the Pacific Press Pub. Co. Its name is now the Sentinel of Christian Liberty. The addition of the word “Christian” to the name does not, we are sure, mean that the nature and purpose of the Sentinel have changed. The Sentinel always advocated Christian liberty; for there is nothing in the world more Christian than liberty,—simple liberty, in the broadest sense of the word. In fact, it is through Christianity, and Christianity only, that liberty in the broadest sense can be realized. The first issue of the new magazine—the December number—contains an article by Alonzo T. Jones, telling why this change in the title has been made. The new Sentinel is a magazine of 64 pages, attractively gotten up, and presenting all the advantages which a publication of magazine size has over the ordinary weekly paper. John D. Bradley is the editor, and A. T. Jones, A. G. Daniells, M. C. Wilcox, L. A. Smith, and C. P. Bollman are announced as editorial contributors. The price remains as formerly, $1.00 per year. The Sentinel is one of our oldest periodicals, is the one that has come most before the eyes of statesmen and public men generally, and has accomplished, in the days when it was warmly supported, a work of incalculable magnitude and value. Is it less needed now than formerly? If you think so, read what is said on this point in “Testimony for the Church,” No. 33, pages 239–248. L. A. S.
