Publishing Work in England
By Editor
IN the interests of our publishing work, Mr. H. H. Hall, the manager of our book department, is making an extended trip through Europe, after which he proceeds to South America. This trip is made necessary by the expanding proportions of our publishing interests in foreign languages. There is a large population of foreign-speaking peoples in this nation, and to supply them with the best literature on the message of the soon-coming Christ is one of our most important problems. Then there is the constant demand upon our older publishing houses to send literature in foreign tongues into places in other countries where as yet we have only depositories and the work is not developed sufficiently to demand the erection of printing plants. An interchange of book-plates of works already in print; proper cooperation in securing the best translators; what books, pamphlets, etc., shall have precedence; how to occupy the field so that all our forces shall be used to the best advantage,—these and many allied questions seemed to make this extended trip necessary. Mr. Hall has consented to furnish some items on the progress of our work that he finds on his journey. This article gives brief mention of our institutions in England. We shall hope to hear from him next from Scandinavia, Germany, and elsewhere on the continent of Europe. EDITOR.
