Send them Out.

By S.

What are our friends doing with their old Reviews? Sister A's are lying up stairs, neatly sewed together, and folded away in the bottom of a huge box. She has laid them away “for reference;” yet, with her fresh papers and pamphlets, together with her labors, she is prevented from looking at them. Sister B has taken some to paper the cupboard shelves. Why not send these to this acquaintance, that friend, or to some relative? Says one, “They may not be well received.” “Perhaps they will not read them.” Let us cast our bread upon the water and try to walk by faith and not by sight. Let us labor and leave results to God. Let us plant, with prayers and tears, being in real earnest. We regret that we cannot stand before a congregation and plead with the people like elder such-a-one; but perhaps we can call to the mind of some one the fact of the importance of looking to see where he is standing, thereby creating a desire to hear the words of the elder whose labor we desire to perform, and help to stay up the arms of some weary preacher. Send out the old “Reviews.” Never mind if they get lost. Send them out. By such a course, should one soul be saved, all the old papers we have would bring a glorious price. S.
