The Value of the “Review”

By George I. Butler

THE REVIEW is worthy of the utmost confidence of our people. It is doing a grand work, and fills a position in the denomination that no other paper can fill. Its subject matter covers a vast field, and its circulation is world wide.
We always await the coming of the REVIEW with great interest. We love to read it on the blessed Sabbath. In it we find an account of what is being done in every one of our mission stations all over the world. It also covers the vast home field. All the important meetings held and all the important business done in our glorious cause are chronicled in its pages. Here the deaths of our church members are recorded. Here are inspiring articles from the most earnest believers and some of our best writers. In the REVIEW just what is going on in this cause is found week by week. Many of the greatest events happening in the world are here mentioned. The great dangers which threaten our prosperity are brought to our attention, and every hopeful and encouraging omen, circumstance, or event is narrated for our edification. The REVIEW AND HERALD uncovers to us all, week by week, the very heart and body and life of our work.
The servant of the Lord has spoken in regard to the importance of reading the REVIEW, plainly saying that every Seventh-day Adventist able to do so ought to take it. And not only that, but where members are too poor to take it, those better off should make up a fund and furnish the deserving poor with the paper free. We feel very certain that such a move would be praiseworthy, and meet the mind of the Spirit of God. Every Seventh-day Adventist ought to have the REVIEW, and read it too.
Dear brethren and sisters everywhere, don't fail to take our oldest denominational paper, which for all the time of our existence as a people has faithfully given us its warnings, counsels, admonitions, cheering messages, and heavenly, spiritual, soul-inspiring calls for better service and nobler aspirations. We can't afford to be without it.
