Office Change in the Y. M. M. I. A. Office O UR MUTUALS and the Era are deeply indebted to Elder Moroni Snow, who, from the summer of 1909 to 1928, served as secretary and treasurer of the general organiza- tion and as assistant business manager of the magazine. Broth- er Snow's health has not been the best of late years, and he recently retired from active association with the general office, though he still remains a member of the General Board. An outstanding character- istic of this faithful man is his devotion to duty; he was a veri- table "watch-dog of the treas- ury,'' and in spite of failing health carried uncomplainingly the heavy burdens of his office with efficiency and dispatch. He leaves the position which he filled so creditably with the love and confidence of all his associates. Brother Snow must find great satisfaction in contemplating the splendid service he has rendered the M. I. A. during these long years. Because of his acquaintance with the work, he will still be able to give valuable assistance to the Board. All Mutual workers will join with us in invoking the blessings of the Lord upon this worthy man. The work formerly done by him has been distributed among other members of the present office force, under the direction of Oscar A. Kirkham; — O. B. Peterson, in addition to other duties, is sustained as general treasurer, and Alma H. Pettigrew will take care of the general correspondence and attend to the details of Era subscriptions. All correspondence pertaining to the organization should be directed to the General Superintendency Y. M. M. I. A., 47 East South Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah. General Superintendency, Y. M.
