The Review as a Missionary Worker

WE learn from Elder A. J. Breed, president of the Upper Columbia Conference, that five hundred and sixty copies of the REVIEW are taken in that conference of fourteen hundred Sabbath-keepers. This is a most excellent showing, and we judge from it that the REVIEW visits almost every family within the limits of the conference. It is plain that some good missionary work has been done in that field by those who believe that the reading of the REVIEW will be a means of strengthening and encouraging believers in this message.
Of his own experience Brother Breed writes as follows:—
I have taken the REVIEW ever since I was a Sabbath-keeper, and that has been about thirty years; and if I am where I can not get it to read every week, it seems to me that I have sustained a great loss. I wish all our people could realize the worth of the REVIEW in the family and in the church.
Such a testimony as this—the result of an experience of thirty years—ought to have weight with the younger workers in this cause.
The publishers of the Australasian Signs of the Times are making an earnest effort to increase the circulation of that paper to twenty thousand copies a week. We are glad to see that from month to month they are able to report encouraging progress in this direction. The Australasian Signs is filled from week to week with articles which ought to reach a wide circle of readers. We hope our fellow-workers in that field may soon realize their desires concerning the circulation of their paper.
