The Review Among the Scattered
Bro. Wm. Penniman writes from Macoupin Co., Ill: I wish to say a word in regard to the enlargement of the Review. I think none can so much desire or need a further enlargement, as the scattered and lonely ones. We are now among that number, and more than ever do we prize its weekly visits. It has grown more and more interesting, and now that we are blessed with the weekly sermons, we can not well do without them. What a consolation it is, that if we can not listen to the verbal teachings of the messengers, we can read their writings. It was hard for us to leave those of like precious faith, and go as it were into the wilderness, but we trust that we acted in the fear of the Lord. The Lord is good to his people, to those who put their trust in him. We want to do all that we do to his honor and glory. How true it is that God's people must take the step of temperance before they can take that of patience. We are trying to take it with them, and to rise with the message, that at last we may be among the overcomers.
