                                          The  Youth's  Instructor   ( abbreviation:  YI )   

                                                                                                                       

  In 1852, James White sensed a need for a paper for the youth in the church. In August of that year he launched an eight-page monthly titled The Youth’s Instructor. The subscription price for twelve issues was 25 cents. The editor wrote on page 2 of that first issue, “We design that the Instructor shall be filled with sensible matter, not only for the benefit of small children, but for the instruction of the youth from 16 to 20 years of age.” This paper then served a wide range of youth for several years. { YI  , , par. 3 }
A four-page weekly issue began January 1, 1879. The weekly was published continuously until April, 1970, varying in size from eight to thirty-two pages. In her lifetime Ellen White appeared as a Youth’s Instructor author more than four hundred times. That first August, 1852, issue presented her first article, “Communications.” her last article, written especially for publication in the Instructor, was “following on to know the Lord,” appearing on June 9, 1914. { YI  , , par. 4 }
For many years it has been the hope of The White Estate to cooperate with The Review and Herald Publishing Association to reproduce Ellen White’s articles that appeared through the years in the Youth’s Instructor. This volume is the culmination of these plans. { YI  , , par. 5 }
