S. N. Curtiss Leaves Review and Herald
By Editor
Several weeks ago Brother S. N. Curtiss received an earnest invitation from the Pacific Press Publishing Association to connect with the work in Kansas City, Mo., as manager of their important branch at that place. Brother Curtiss, after carefully considering this invitation and counseling with his associates, decided to accept the same, and sever his connection with the Review and Herald. With his wife, he left Washington last Saturday evening for his new field. He separates from the work here leaving many friends and with the highest respect and confidence of his associates. He has been connected with the work of the association as manager for nearly nine years, as treasurer from 1903-10, and as vice-president for four years. He has labored hard and faithfully. The transferring of the business to Washington, the pioneering of the work here, with the erection of buildings, together with the routine labor and strain of carrying on an enterprise of this character, have been attended with many perplexities, which can be known only by those who have gone through the experience. But in it all the Lord has abundantly blessed the efforts which have been put forth. The association has made a splendid gain. The net worth of the business has increased from a small amount nine years ago to more than one hundred twenty-one thousand dollars at the present time, the result in small part of donations, but largely in consequence of natural growth. Much of this success, under the blessing of Heaven, has been due to the faithful labors of Brother Curtiss as manager and of his associates in the work, together with the faithful army in the field who have sold the literature created. The prayers of all will attend Brother Curtiss in his new field, and we believe that his connection with our sister institution will unite even more closely the work and interests of our two largest publishing houses.
