Close of the Volume.

By Editor

This being the last number of the volume, we have been obliged to omit some interesting matter to give room for the index.

We think it is safe to promise, that the next volume will be of still more interest than this has been. Readers in general love variety, and brief articles secure the best reading. Several series of lengthy articles have run through this volume; and, though the matter itself be important, and it is sometimes necessary to publish them, they often interfere with the Conference Department, more than could be wished, and crowd out much that we would like to publish of a devotional cast. These serial matters will soon be closed up, and the progress of the cause in all parts of the field will receive more attention than in the past.

On account of ill-health Bro. Littlejohn was not able to furnish the closing article in reply to the Statesman this week. We are happy to know that these articles have received much favor with readers of the REVIEW, who will, in turn, be glad to learn that they will soon be published in book form.

Time is short. “The end of all things is at hand.” Every week, almost every day, brings letters to the Office, imploring help, asking for the preachers to visit the various localities where labor is desired. But the “laborers are few,” and all are invited to make greater efforts to circulate the REVIEW, which has thus far proved to be an efficient worker in the good cause.
