What They Say

“I have been a constant reader of the REVIEW for fifty-one years. I could not get along without it.”
“I do not know how I could get along without the REVIEW.”
“For fifty-eight years the REVIEW has come to my home. It is a most welcome visitor. I do hope that every believer will have it come to him. Its pages are filled with the truth for these times.”
“I have been a constant subscriber and reader of the good old REVIEW for forty-two years. Nearly all that time it has been my only preacher, as I have been one of the isolated members. I could not have lived the message without it.”
“I have regarded myself as a life subscriber to the REVIEW for a long time. Years ago we used to subscribe for five years at a time, so I inclose my check for a five years’ subscription. One year is altogether too short a term for a ‘lifer.’ All Adventists, whether in America or in foreign fields, should have the REVIEW all the time. It is the one link that unites all as one people, and keeps us in touch with headquarters.”
“It was in 1860, about the time that Lincoln was first elected, that my father subscribed for the REVIEW. I chanced to go to the post office and receive the first number that came. I well remember the look of it and some of the articles that it contained. I have missed reading but few copies of it since then, and for years I have read all that each copy contains. I cannot take all our periodicals, but I expect to take and read the REVIEW to the end. I do not know that there is anything that I have a greater burden for than to see more people reached by the REVIEW and more of our members induced to subscribe for it.”
“The first five dollars that came into my hands after I accepted the truth I sent for the REVIEW, a prophetic chart, and a hymn book. I do not think we have been without the REVIEW six months since then. Oh, there are so many things for which to praise the Lord! We cannot enumerate them. I can say from the heart, praise the Lord for the Spirit of prophecy that has piloted us thus far.”
