The “Review” the Inspiration

By A. J. Scott

FORTY-TWO years ago, when I accepted the message, I began to read the REVIEW, and I have read it constantly ever since. It has been a source of strength and encouragement to me all along. It kept alive the desire to do something for the advancement of the Lord’s work. It begot a desire to present the truth to others. I could not preach, and our literature forty-two years ago was not abundant; but I took such as we had, a little health almanac, and began a successful work which I have kept up ever since—canvassing. I have sold thousands and thousands of our books, both large and small, in different parts of the United States. Several churches have been raised up in localities where I sold our books, and all these are to-day sound in the faith, and are giving strong support in means and workers to the local and general work. I regard this as largely the result of the literature I placed in the hands of those who were the first members of these churches, and the REVIEW has ever been an important factor in urging me on in my work.

Although I am now eighty-one years of age, and my work is supposed to be nearly finished, last year I sold over five hundred of our large books, and enjoyed the bountiful blessings God gave in this work. What the REVIEW did for me it will do for others who will welcome it and cherish the message it ever brings.
