# To Our Friends

<!-- page:663 -->

I announce, with pleasure, the fact that I have secured the services of Elder Gustavus Hills, as assistant Editor to the Times and Seasons. Having entered into the printing business, in its various branches, and upon an extensive scale-also, having successfully established the stereotyping and book-binding business, all to be conducted under my own supervision, has rendered it highly necessary that some such arrangement should be made, as it is almost impossible for one person to do justice to this paper, and attend to all the varied duties consequent to an establishment of this kind.

I feel to congratulate our patrons upon the new arrangement, as I can assure them that Br. Hills is a scholar and a gentleman, and no pains will be spared, on his part, to make this a useful and interesting sheet, such as will prove a benefit to the church.

E. ROBINSON.
