Gives No Uncertain Sound

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

THE REVIEW AND HERALD has visited me regularly since I first subscribed for it in the winter of 1854. I had been keeping the Sabbath about one year, but had not been receiving the REVIEW, when Elder Bates secured my subscription. For sixty-two years I have been a reader of the REVIEW. Personally I could not do without it.

I have noticed, in visiting our brethren in this country and in foreign lands, that their interest in present truth is shown largely by the interest they take in reading the REVIEW AND HERALD. There is no paper published by Seventh-day Adventists that can take its place. No one who understands the English language and is at all interested in present truth can afford to be without it.

It reports every advance move of present truth in both foreign and home fields, bringing to every believer information that cannot be obtained from any of our other publications.

Some forty or fifty years ago, when the tract and missionary work was carried on as a separate organization, it was understood that the tract society should see that every family in the conference had the REVIEW. If any were so poor that they could not afford to pay for it, a fund was raised to send it to them.

When individuals become interested in the truth by lectures or missionary work of any kind, the REVIEW should at once be placed in their hands, as it gives them an intelligent knowledge of our position, and of our work both at home and abroad. This is its mission, and it gives no uncertain sound. It is our only general church paper.

As we near the time of trouble, the mission of the REVIEW AND HERALD will become more and more important. It should be in every English-speaking family interested in the work of the third angel's message.
