What Do They Miss?

By William C. White

Is there a family of Sabbath-keepers in your neighborhood who does not receive the REVIEW? Is there a member of your church who does not have an opportunity to read it? What are they missing that would help them in their Christian experience?

What do you find in the REVIEW that helps you in Christian living? I find in it spiritual encouragement and instruction, and a clear setting forth of the plan of the warfare in which we are engaged. When disheartened or perplexed, I find in the REVIEW the record of the Lord's work for the enlightenment and deliverance of his people from opposition and temptation; and my courage is renewed.

I shall never forget the joyous countenance of Brother James Erzenberger, thirty-five years ago, as he would hold up the dear old REVIEW, and exclaim, “I have received a large letter.” So I find it,—a large letter from my dearest friends, and telling the very things about which I am most anxious to hear.

The progress of the message is the most interesting news that the believer in the message can hear. And the REVIEW is full of cheering news, not only from all parts of America, but from all parts of the world.

Have you an honored friend engaged in missionary work in Syria, Africa, South America, or China? He may not have time to write to you individually, but you can read his letter in the REVIEW. Are you contributing to the support of a pioneer work in Alaska, Mexico, Japan, or the West Indies? In the columns of the REVIEW you will find a record of the work done there.

Those who seldom see the REVIEW do not realize what they miss by not having it. How can we help them to know the value of its weekly visits?

This we can do. Carefully keep each paper, mark the articles most likely to interest and benefit the reader, and then, when your own family has finished reading it, send it to those who do not have it. When they become interested, ask them to subscribe. W. C. WHITE.
