The American Sentinel Moves East
By Editor
Most of our readers know of the American Sentinel, a brave religious-liberty journal, published for four years past in Oakland. Very few papers, in so brief a time, ever had such a wide circulation, or greater influence. But it has been thought best by its publishers to enlarge its field of operation by removing it from the present sparsely settled West to the thickly populated East. Accordingly, it was decided to publish it from New York City, the great commercial center of this country, and also the greatest religious center, with postal and railway facilities excelled by none. The great mass of Sentinel subscribers can thus be reached one or two days after the paper leaves the press. We know that, while its friends in the West will regret to have it removed, its friends in the East will be truly grateful, and will work for it with greater zeal than if it remained in the West. The American Sentinel, we are assured by its publishers and editors, will still safely guard the interests of religious liberty, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Its commanding position in New York City, so near the seat of war, will better enable it to watch the operations of those who ignorantly or willfully would roll back the car of religious liberty over one thousand years. At an early day in this present session of Congress, measures will be introduced the tendency of which is to form a union of religion and the State. The Sentinel is a defender of our liberties, and should be worthily and heartily supported. Every movement looking in the direction of religious legislation will be carefully watched and fairly met in the American Sentinel, where the rights of all will be defended without fear or favor. The first number of 1890 will be published from 43 Bond Street, New York City, to which address all communications concerning the Sentinel should be sent after December 15.
