Evangelical United Mennonite Publication Society (Goshen, Indiana, USA)
Evangelical United Mennonite Publication Society, Goshen, Indiana, appears in 1880 as the publisher of The Doctrines and Discipline of the Evangelical United Mennonites, and in 1881 as the publisher of A Choice Collection of Hymns. The Mennonite Brethren in Christ Publication Society, Berlin, Ontario, appears as the publisher of the Doctrines and Discipline of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ in 1888 and again in 1897. By 1903, however, the Bethel Publishing Company appears as the publisher of Mennonite Brethren in Christ books. It appears, although this is not confirmed by J. A. Huffman’s History of the Mennonite Brethren Church (New Carlisle, 1920), that the first two names refer to the official denominational publishing agency of this group, which, though continuous, changed its name. The annual conference of 1879 had established a church printing plant and appointed a publishing committee. The printing plant was first located in Goshen, then in 1885 in Berlin, Ontario. The Bethel Publishing Company was, however, a private venture of J. A. Huffman, which became a denominational agency in 1918.
