Editorial Staff Changes at the Review and Herald
By Editor
The readers of the REVIEW have noticed the initials “L. A. S.” and “A. J. B.” attached occasionally of late to articles in the paper; and as all may not understand the arrangement, a word of explanation may be in place. When the request was presented that we resume our former position on the paper, we felt that it would not be reasonable, under the circumstances, to accept, only under the condition that suitable editorial help be provided to assist in the work. That help was found to be available, and has been obtained. Leon A. Smith, late editor of the Sentinel, had formerly acted as Assistant Editor of the REVIEW; and the Board signified their desire that he take the place again, which he has consented to do. Meanwhile there was another helper, Augustin J. Bourdeau, son of Elder D. T. Bourdeau, whose services were available, who had been connected with the Office, in the circulating department and in the editorial room, for about five years. He was in just the position to render further assistance, and has been engaged for that purpose. This furnishes a strong corps of helpers in all departments, properly to care for the contributions sent in, to answer correspondents, prepare editorial, condense and classify Progress reports, gather and edit News Notes, and look after other points which concern the success of the paper. Each helper on the paper intends to magnify his office, and serve the cause, and through the paper, the interests of the cause, to the best of his ability. But it must not be left to us alone. May we not count, faithful readers, on your cordial well-wishing and friendly help? And from henceforth we ask the prayers, good will, and co-operation of every reader of the REVIEW.
