A Subscriber's Acknowledgments.
By Alonzo H. Ennes
I WOULD make my acknowledgments to all the contributors and writers for the Review, who from time to time have spoken words of encouragement to the brethren and sisters scattered here and there. Those who enjoy the benefit of society and church organization, cannot perhaps well realize how essential and how beneficial those stirring appeals are to the comparatively lonely ones. I hope they will continue to exercise their ability in this respect, and so much the more as the end approaches, and troubles thicken around us. Shall we not need each other's support and encouragement to stimulate each other to holiness of life and conversation, that by the help of God we may be enabled to endure those peculiar trials that an ungodly world and an apostate church will not be slow to heap upon all the truly faithful? Some of these for the last few days I have had to endure. Let us pray for each other, daily, that we may have patience and meekness, and a rich supply of that spirit that was exhibited by our Lord when he had to endure such unexampled contradiction and opposition from sinners. One thing is, and should be, to us an encouragement. If we suffer with him we shall be glorified with him; and if we are faithful, and continue to manifest the proper disposition when we are under trial, we shall soon find deliverance.
