DEAR BRETHREN:—In the Review of Oct. 16th is a request from you as a Committee to hear from brethren in different parts of the field relative to the manner of publishing the Review. We take this opportunity to say that we approve of the plan of a Committee to relieve the Editor of the burden of the financial department. We also approve of the plan you propose of having one resident Editor, and 4 or 6 Corresponding Editors. Two of them perhaps located near the Office, that they might be consulted more readily. The others located in different parts of the field.
It is our mind also (and that of the brethren generally, so far as we have conversed with them) that Bro. White still continue to have charge of the Review, if his health will admit.
We would also suggest the propriety of a Committee of three appointed, in whose care the Press shall be placed for the use of the Church, in publishing the light of present truth. We make this suggestion, not that we have any fears ourselves of a misuse of the Press; but it would cut off the opportunity of any who might in future (as some have done in time past) seek to create disaffection on this account.
We however submit the whole to the wisdom of the Brn. who may assemble in Conference—assuring them of our hearty co-operation in their efforts to publish the last message of mercy to a perishing world.
