We acknowledge among our exchanges, the _Fisk Herald_, published at Nashville; the _Atlanta Bulletin_; the _Olio_, of Straight University; the _Tougaloo Quarterly_; the _Head and Hand_, of Le Moyne Normal Institute at Memphis; the _Helping Hand_, of Sherwood, Tenn.; _Our Work_, of Talladega College; the _Howard University Reporter_, of Washington; the _Word Carrier_, of Santee Agency, and _Iapi Oahe_, of Santee Agency; also the _Christian Aid_, published by our church in Dallas; the _Beach Record_, (occasional) by our school in Savannah. Several of these papers are models of their kind, publishing original articles written by the students and professors, and printed by the students with superior typographical skill. As indicators of progress, they are full {91} of interest, apart from the items of local school and church intelligence with which they are freighted. * * * * * We commend to our readers, "The Missionary Review of the World," edited jointly by Rev. J.M. Sherwood, D.D., of New York, and Rev. A.T. Pierson, D.D., of Philadelphia. One rises from its pages as if he had been breathing Christian ozone. The editorials are upon living topics and issues, and are vigorously presented. The "Review" sweeps its vision over the entire world and it not only sees, but knows how to tell what it sees. If the high standard of literary excellence so far sustained can be continuously held, we shall have a magazine of missions which will be the peer of our best literary monthlies in quality and interest. * * * * * We congratulate the Congregational Sunday-School and Publishing Society on the acceptance of its appointment of Rev. Geo. M. Boynton as its Secretary. We have known him as a member of the Executive Committee of the American Missionary Association, as editor of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY, as a pastor, as a secretary of Associations and Conferences, as a wise counsellor and genial brother. We regard him as eminently fitted for the place to which he has been called. To Brother Boynton we extend most cordially a welcome to the honorable, the fraternity of the Secretaries. * * * * *
