The “Review”—Reasons for Loving It

By A. S. Hutchins

A. S. HUTCHINS
1. BECAUSE it is free from light, chaffy reading.
2. Because it comes to us richly laded with the truth, Bible truth, present, sanctifying, soul-saving truth. It comes reflecting the rays of heavenly light, as the peaceful waters reflect the rays of the shining sun.
3. Because it has for its object the salvation of perishing souls.
4. Because it comforts, warns, exhorts, reproves, strengthens, and encourages the children of God.
5. Because the Lord smiles approvingly upon it in its noble, worthy mission, and upon its conductors, whose hearts burn with love to him, to his cause and service.
Let us then pray for the prosperity of this weekly visitor, that God’s sustaining hand may still rest upon it and its editor, till the holy warfare in which we are engaged shall wind up in glorious triumph, and everlasting victory to the saints of the Most High.
These are days of great excitement. National calamities are upon us. Let us beware lest the heart become so much absorbed in political matters, war news, etc., as to neglect the weightier matters. To see Sabbath keepers watch more anxiously for, and read more eagerly, publications containing these exciting topics, than the REVIEW, is a bad mark.
Soldiers of Christ, look out! Satan would rather have you spend your precious time in reading and talking upon such subjects than upon heavenly things. There is an awful battle coming. The battle of the great day of God Almighty rapidly hastens on.
“The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth.” Jeremiah 25. “A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand.” “And who shall be able to stand?”—Review and Herald, June 10, 1862.
