The Review.

By John Nevins Andrews

I DESIRE to express my sincere gratification at the great improvement which the Review exhibits. If the enlargement were the only matter of congratulation, I could speak in warm commendation of the Review; for it has ever been filled with excellent matter. But its enlargement brings us a much greater variety, and what was before excellent, seems still better now. I am grateful to God that such a paper is published. It shines with a steady light, and speaks with no uncertain voice.
The cares, labors, and responsibilities of the editor are not small. How many of the readers of the Review think to pray for him? I trust many do this daily. I am sure that no paper has fewer fault-finders among its readers. The Review is not perfect: no uninspired production can be. Yet it is in the highest degree worthy of the confidence and support of that people who strive to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. We can all do something for the Review.
1. Some can write for its columns articles calculated to enlighten and instruct in the doctrines of the Bible. Others can bear testimony to the sanctifying effect of these truths upon their hearts. Both these classes can do good with their pens. It is very wrong that such should neglect the gift that is in them. But all who write for the Review should have a large measure of the grace of God. Those who write thus will be likely to do good; and should any of their articles be declined by the editor, for he cannot insert everything, they will not become angry with him.
2. Many can give of their means to sustain the Review, or to send it to those who are too poor to take it, or who from ignorance of its value would decline to subscribe for it. No better way can be found to make money the means of preaching the gospel of Christ.
3. All can recommend the Review to their friends, and make them acquainted with its excellent teachings. And all can pray for the blessing of God to rest upon those who prepare the paper, and upon the paper as it goes out on its mission of mercy to sinful man.
