In 1888 De Hope reprinted three meditations from De Heraut. The meditation on Psalm 143:6 in vol. 22, no. 18 was reprinted from De Heraut, no. 518, November 27, 1887; the meditation on Nahum 2:7 in no. 40 was reprinted from De Heraut, no. 552, July 22, 1888; and the meditation on John 4:14 in vol. 23, no. 2 was reprinted from De Heraut, no. 558, September 2, 1888.

In De Hope, vol. 22, no. 20, the “Propositions for the Public Conference on the Matter of the Reunification of the Reformed” were reprinted from De Heraut, no. 532, March 4, 1888 (see 1888.01).

In vol. 22, no. 41, “De martelaren van den Bartholomeusnacht. (24 Augustus 1572)” [The martyrs of St. Bartholomew’s Eve. (August 24, 1572)] was reprinted from De Standaard, no. 123, August 24, 1872 (see 1872.08).

In vol. 22, no. 43, “Naijver of samenwerking” [Envy or collaboration] was reprinted from a leading article in De Standaard 17 (1888), no. 5037, August 13, 1888. The editors of De Hope subtitled the article “Clannishness or Generosity—Where and How the Line Should Be Drawn.” After making extensive reference both to practices in his own circles and to national and international customs, Kuyper concludes the article by expressing his hope that this line will become better delineated in church circles. Although De Hope dropped some material that was of regional interest only, it reprinted the majority of the piece, which deals largely with matters of general concern.
