The “Review” for 1917

By Editor

WE have many good things planned for the readers of the REVIEW during the coming year. We cannot enumerate all of these, but will give a little idea of some of the things which will be presented during the next twelve months:—
1. Articles from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White. Some of the most soul-stirring articles ever written by Sister White were published in the REVIEW AND HERALD about twenty years ago, back in the eighties and nineties. We shall reprint some of these excellent articles in the REVIEW during 1917. We shall also reprint a number of articles from Sister White which some of our readers have especially requested.
2. Elders A. G. Daniells, W. T. Knox, N. Z. Town, and F. Griggs will furnish us with articles regarding the development of the work in the great Asiatic Division. Some of these brethren are visiting this field for the first time, and they will have many new impressions to give us as to the character of the work which is being done. Elder Daniells’s articles will be illustrated by photographs of our institutions and workers. These brethren will also send us reports of the important meetings which will be held in that field, together with the report of the general meeting of the Division in Shanghai next spring.
3. We are receiving every week reports from our missionaries throughout the world-wide field. These relate many thrilling incidents of the manner in which the Lord is going before our workers and opening to them doors for the entrance of the truth. These reports will constitute a regular weekly feature of our paper.
4. It will be our aim to cover during the year the principal doctrines constituting the message for this day and generation. Some of our best Bible writers have prepared studies on these topics. These studies will embrace a series of articles on each of the following topics: The second advent, the prophecies, the law and the Sabbath, the sanctuary, religious liberty, the nature of man, temperance, church relationship, and the home. These studies will be found particularly helpful to those who desire to obtain a knowledge of present truth. They should be studied regularly in every Seventh-day Adventist home.
5. Some of our ablest Bible students and pioneers in the message and leading workers will contribute regularly to the columns of the REVIEW, in general articles, in reports of labor, etc.
6. The excellent instruction which has been given in the Home department will be continued next year, making this department of value to every member of the family.
7. The departmental secretaries of the General Conference — the Publishing, Medical, Educational, Religious Liberty, Missionary Volunteer, and Home Missionary — will tell of the progress of the work of which they have the oversight.
8. The editors of the REVIEW will endeavor to keep in touch with the great world field, pointing out the dangers which threaten us, and the opportunities afforded us in passing on to others a knowledge of the times in which we live.
These and other features too numerous to mention will serve to make the general church paper for 1917 one of the most valuable volumes we have ever issued. Let us not be content with reading our church paper by ourselves alone, but let us see to it that every member of our church has access to this great newspaper of the denomination.
