Our 8-page Tracts.

By Editor

WHILE we were in Battle Creek a joint meeting was held of the Publishing Committees of the two Publishing Associations. We have for some time been trying to devise some plan whereby these two committees might co-operate in their decisions and actions, and this joint meeting was an effort to carry out this idea. Amongst other things upon which action was taken, we were requested to revise the series of 8-page tracts which were got up mostly for use in tent-meetings.

There are some things in them which refer to the circumstances and opportunities of tent-meetings which make them quite inappropriate for general circulation. These can be changed without injuring them at all as tent tracts. And some of them can be corrected and improved in some other features. We shall put them in tract form as fast as they are put through the SIGNS. Instead of the "book list" occupying one page, each will contain notices of those books which treat of the subject of the tract.

Added to that which appears on the second page of this paper, will be only a few lines calling attention to books on the same subject.
