Reflections

By D. T. Shireman; A. Shireman

ALMOST forty-six years have passed since the REVIEW began coming to our home, changing its address as we went into new fields to build up the work that was dearer to us than the pleasures of this world. Many opportunities to seek for the gold of this world have presented themselves, but we knew that the earthly treasure would soon pass away, while the Word would abide forever.
Although the flames have turned into smoke and ashes the former home of the REVIEW, it still lives; and while death has laid low in the grave such faithful laborers as Brethren White, Andrews, Waggoner, Smith, and many others, yet the REVIEW comes to our homes laden with precious truths to encourage the few aged veterans whose heads have grown gray in this work.
May the younger workers upon whose shoulders the great burden must now rest until the message is given to the world, feel the need of seeking strength from Him who is able to keep us from falling. Only as we stand in Christ can we go through the perils we shall have to meet in this closing work.
Our courage is good. We hope to keep in the front till the battle is ended, and the victory won.
D. T. SHIREMAN, A. SHIREMAN.
