The Review for 1905

By Editor

THE mere change of figures in the calendar does not in itself make any change in our circumstances and surroundings, or in our ability to deal with the situation in which we find ourselves. We can not therefore promise that there will be any radical difference between the first issue of the REVIEW for 1905 and the last issues of the old year. We can only say that it is our sincere desire to make the paper a worthy exponent of the truths of the third angel's message, uncompromisingly opposed to those deceptions and perversions of the truth which are now flooding the world. We hope to justify the standing announcement at the head of our editorial columns: "Devoted to the Proclamation of 'the Faith which was once delivered unto the Saints.'" We have been cheered by the many words of encouragement which have come to us during the past year, and by the hearty efforts which have been put forth in behalf of the circulation of the paper. We enter upon the new year with the largest permanent list of subscribers which the REVIEW has ever had, and with the reasonable prospect of a steady increase.
The year closes with such a combination of significant occurrences in the various developments of human history that we can readily see that the common year will be a stirring one. It will certainly bring many interesting experiences in the spread of this message. It will also witness rapid progress in the fulfilment of prophecy concerning the closing days of this earth's history. We shall hope to give in the REVIEW a faithful record and interpretation of these things, and we make bold to say that we are confident that every believer in this message will be encouraged and strengthened by being a regular reader of this paper.
We sincerely thank our contributors and other fellow workers for their valued help in the past, and look confidently for their co-operation in the future in our efforts to make the REVIEW what it ought to be, and to place it in the houses of all our Sabbath-keeping families.
