EDITOR^S TABLE.

                   OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

       THE ARTICLES OF FAITH, BY DR. JAMES E. TALMAGE.

     During the early part of April there will be issued by the
Deseret News a new Church work entitled " The Articles of Faith,"
the same being a series of lectures on the principal doctrines of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by Dr. James E.
Talmage.    The lectures were prepared by appointment of the First
Presidency, and the book will be published by the Church.       It is

intended for use as a text book in the Church Schools, Sunday
Schools, Improvement Associations, quorums of the Priesthood, and
other Church organizations in which the study of Theology is pursued, and also for individual use among the members of the Church.
The work has been approved by the First Presidency, and I heartily
commend it to the members of the Church.
                                                  Lorenzo Snow.
