Changes at the Southern Publishing Association

The sixth annual session of the Southern Publishing Association was held recently in connection with the Southern Union Conference in Nashville, Tenn. In the organization of the new board, Elder S. E. Wight was chosen president; L. A. Smith, vice-president; M. F. Knox, secretary and treasurer; and R. L. Pierce, general manager and manager of the book department. This releases Brother R. Hook, Jr., who has been general manager of the association for several years, to take the treasurership of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, which was tendered him some weeks ago. Of his separation from the publishing work in Nashville, the Southern Union Worker says: "It is needless to say that there is a feeling of sincere regret on the part of the office and factory force in parting with Brother Hook, and we believe that the prayers and best wishes of the entire South will follow him to his new field of labor." In entering upon his work with the Review and Herald Publishing Association, Brother Hook will receive a warm welcome. The association is glad that it is able to secure his services for the responsible work he will take up. Brother Hook came to Washington this week, and will enter at once upon his new duties.
