Relation of Workers to the “Review”

By E. E. Andross

For about thirty years I have been a constant reader of the REVIEW AND HERALD. For twenty-eight years I have been connected with this cause in a public way, and during this time have watched carefully the results following the reading of our church paper. It has seemed to me that as a rule the constant readers of the REVIEW are not among those whose confidence grows weak in the principles of present truth, or who say in their hearts, “My Lord delayeth his coming.” Being constantly in touch with the development of this message in every part of the world, and acquainted with every advance move which the REVIEW chronicles, they recognize God’s leadership in the movement, and become thoroughly grounded in the faith.
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule; but I believe the exceptions do not prove that this is not the legitimate fruit of the continuous reading of our church paper. I do not see how it is possible for one to continue to be intelligent with reference to the advancement of this cause and not be a reader of the REVIEW AND HERALD. Not only does it contain the reports of the progress of the work throughout all the world, but its pages are also filled with most excellent spiritual counsel. I believe that the Lord has in a special way guarded this paper throughout the years, and has helped to make it a mighty factor in the preparation of a people for the coming of the Lord.
It seems to me to be a very important duty of every laborer in this cause to do all in his power to place this paper in the hands of every one who has newly come to the faith, and to encourage him to become a regular subscriber to the same. The instruction this paper contains from week to week is essential in building a strong Christian character, and in preparing the new convert to take his place in the ranks of God’s people, to do the work that the Lord expects of him, and thus prepares him to stand in the judgment.
