FORWORDPeriodicals of the Disciples of Christ andrelated reli gious groups, made possible throughthe cooperation of Culver- Stockton collegewith the Disciples of Christ Historical Society,is the first attempt at acomprehensive listof the periodicals of the Disciples of Christ,the Christian church,and the churches ofChrist. In this work I have attempted to listthe title of every periodical designed formore than individual church circulation. Although over eleven hundred titles are listed,I know that there must be manyothers as yetunknown to me.Exactly what to include and what to omit createda problem.Periodicals published outside ofthe United States and Canada have been leftfor a later list.College publications andlisted, perhapsSunday school materials arenot very completely.Interdenominationalpublications with Disciole editors arenotlisted unless started under Disciple auspices.Papers published exclusively in the interestsof individual churches are not included; 'sucha list would have thousands of titles.Nonreligious papers edited by Disciples, unlessof an inspirational or educational nature, arenot listed.The arrangement is alphabetical with the mainentry under the last title by which the periodical was known, with references from earliertitles.Under the main entry will be foundthe following information if known: the placeof places of publication,the inclusive volume-iii-

numbers,the inclusive dates of publication,the names of the editor or editors(in manycases first and last editors only are givenwith the word "others*), previous titles withinclusive dates,and other notes tending toidentify the periodical. Christian church andchurches of Christ periodicals are so indicatedafter the titles.Only churches of Christperiodicals founded later than 1906 are solisted. For easier identification, periodicalswith like names have the name of the state inparentheses following the title. This notationdoes not mean that the paper was a"state"paper.Information concerning each title has been secured through actual examination of the periodical, through a careful search of the newsnotes in hundreds of volumes of periodicals,byand through lists and statements madeothers working in this field.Documentationof each title has been made and filed in thearchives of the Disciples of Christ HistoricalSociety.And what is the purpose of this publication?It is to be used as a check list In the preparation of a union catalog of our periodicals.Later I hope that such a catalog will be published showing the location of thetitleslisted here and of those which have beenomitted, through oversight or ignorance, fromthis list.Too, the list may well be used ascollectors of our pera searching guide foriodicals.It may also be of some value as aguide-post In the cataloging of those periodThrough cooperative checking of theicals.-IV-

list, much new information will be secured concerning these and other titles.to many persons forFinally,I am indebtedhelp in the compiling of this list. Acknowledgment must be made to Charles C. Ware, curator of the archives of the Historical Comthemission ofNorth Carolina ChristianConvention;to Edgar Riley, presiMissionarydent of Kentucky Female Orphan School and toDon Carlos Janes of Louisville, Ky., for exceedingly valuable aid. The Standard publishing Company,the Christian Board of Publication and the Gospel Advocate Company haveallowed generous use of the files of theirpublications.;Claude E.
