The Rev. Pieter Jan Oggel, son-in-law of Albertus and Christina Van Raalte, wrote a note to in De Hope that the Rev. A. B. Veenhuizen, an associate of Van Raalte in the theological school in Ommen, was coming to Holland to teach modern languages at Hope College and to edit this paper. Currently he is serving a congregation in Pultneyville, New York. Also in this issue, volume one, number one, is the statement of purpose of this new publication. It is designed to serve the Dutch-speaking population. Ecclesiastically we hope not to be involved in polemical writing... .The columns of this paper are not open to vile correspondence or personal insults. Since the sponsor of the paper is Hope College, the paper is so-named.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1860s/1344/thumbnail.jp
