Writing for the "Review"

By Editor

WE greatly appreciate the excellent articles which we receive from our workers throughout the field for the columns of the REVIEW. These we acknowledge and place in our files, to be used as soon as our space will permit. We are glad also to receive from our workers reports of their labor. A record of what God is doing in the salvation of souls always proves an encouragement to the entire church.

We are sure, however, that we are not making an unusual or an unreasonable request in asking that the articles and reports which are sent for publication in the REVIEW be prepared especially for the columns of our church journal.

Many of our readers have both the REVIEW and their local paper. It is an injustice to them to have articles duplicated in the two papers.

Then, too, the space in our church journal is necessarily limited. We run each week from eight to ten general departments. We can devote only two or three pages in each issue to reports from the field, and about the same amount of space to general articles. It does not seem consistent for us to duplicate in the REVIEW articles which have already been printed, while we have in our files excellent contributions awaiting space for publication.

There are times when the editors of the REVIEW feel justified in reproducing reports of important meetings which have already appeared in print, but they have access to these reports in the various denominational papers which come to their desk. After the publication of articles in our general church paper, we have no objection to their use in any paper in the world.
