“The Church Officers’ Gazette”

By Editor

THIS is the name of a new sixteen-page monthly journal issued by the Review and Herald Publishing Association. It is printed for the General and North American Division Conferences. The purpose of this journal, as expressed by Elder I. H. Evans in the first number, is “to furnish a medium for communicating the plans, policies, and instruction of the North American Division Committee to the church officers; to publish to local officers the lessons and instruction of the secretaries of the Missionary Volunteer and Home Missionary Departments; to place in the hands of local officers such data and special information as will be helpful to them in building up their work; and to afford a means of communicating with church officers otherwise than by circular letters.”
Of its relation to other periodicals and of the scope of its work, Elder Evans says:—
“The Gazette is not a competitor of any other periodical or magazine published by our people. It is not for general circulation. It will not contain leading articles on doctrinal or religious subjects. The Gazette has a field of its own; it is published for the benefit of the church officers, and its circulation is to be confined to them. It is hoped to make the Gazette so practical, so helpful, that every officer will subscribe therefor, and receive its monthly visits. When conditions do not warrant this, it is desired that copies be supplied out of the church funds.”
It will be necessary for every church officer to have this journal in order to become thoroughly acquainted with plans and policies relating to church work. We earnestly hope that every officer will become a subscriber. The yearly subscription price is fifty cents: in clubs of two or more copies to one address, thirty-five cents each. Miss Edith M. Graham, secretary of the Home Missionary Department, and Miss Matilda Erickson, secretary of the Missionary Volunteer Department for the North American Division Conference, are the editors.
