Greeting* —to—the- headers of
the first issue of Christian
Chronicle. 1 am happy to assume
the job of editor and publisher of
the4paper you now hold in your
hand. Not that it is an easy task,
_hy any means, for it is one of
the most arduous and thankless
tasks in all the world. I have no
illusions or misgivings about that
matter. But 4 aut happy to tackle
the job..because I think it is the
best means available today for
stirring up missionary enthusi-
asm in the church. Previous ex-
perience has demonstrated this
to be true.
I am happy because of the fine
group of Christian men and" wom-
en who have rallied to my side
to help me. Letters in almost ev-
ery mail since announcement of
..the Chroriicle, have brought word
from someone else who ia will-
ing and anxious to help me.
'Hence I am able to report that
the very best men for the job
in the church have been secured
to write for you.
Covering Latin-American news
and notes^will be the veteran mis-
sionary among the Mexicans,
John F. Wolfe. There is no other
man in the church today who is
as well qualified to speak of the
work, plan?, prospects, and con-
dition of our work “South of the
Border” as he. He will give you
each week a well written column
on the status of things religious
among Latin-American peoples.
He will bring you a picture of the
customs, habits, and the very
temperament of the people. He
knows them, and when you read
his Charming descriptions of
them and their ways, you will
feel that you do also. You will
not want to take a “siesta” while
