The Association Meeting.
By Uriah Smith
A WORD of explanation may be necessary in reference to the call for a special meeting of the Publishing Association found in this number. When we accepted the office of President at the last yearly meeting, it was with no design or wish to hold that position for any great length of time. Bro. White, as we all know, is the person for that place. But circumstances were such at our late meeting that he did not see his way clear to accept the position; and we allowed our name to be used simply to bridge over the matter till more favorable circumstances should exist. Happily, the obstacles in Bro. W.'s way are now removed, and the object of the resignations that have been offered, and the meeting that is called, is to put Bro. W. into his proper position as President of the Publishing Association. He should also be Editor of the Review, and Bro. Waggoner, having his attention so fully occupied with matters pertaining to the cause on the Pacific Coast, has also resigned, making a vacancy on the Editorial Board. We would be glad to see as many of the stockholders as may find it convenient to come; but we would say that none are under the necessity of coming, as any number assembled at a regularly called meeting, can legally transact business; and there are a sufficient number in Battle Creek to hold a meeting, should no others find it convenient, or specially desire, to be present on the occasion.
