The Reading Circle.

By L. Flora Plummer

As announced, this number of the REVIEW contains the first Reading Circle study on Good Samaritan work, this lesson to be studied in the week of October 13–19. These lessons are introductory to a regular book study on health principles, which begins January 1. The importance of such a study has been emphasized over and over, through the Testimonies, and we trust that all will take up these studies in a practical way, and so be not only prepared to live them themselves, but to present them to others.

All the Reading Circle lessons are designed for home study. They may be studied by one person as successfully as by a large company. They may be made a family study, parents and children uniting in it. No one need wait for a meeting of the church to be called before beginning the study. No organization nor formality of any kind is necessary. Each family and each person is asked simply to study each lesson as thoroughly as possible during the week assigned for that lesson. No one should hesitate to enter upon the home study of the lessons because he is so situated that he has not the privilege of reviewing the lesson with others.

The whole plan is a very simple one; but if all our people would faithfully carry it out, the result would be marvelously great.
