Close of the Volume.

By Editor

THE present number closes volume 43 of the REVIEW AND HERALD. It has contained a greater proportion than usual of long articles, which have been inserted for the purpose of presenting the more prominent points of our faith before its new readers. This has interfered somewhat with that variety which it is desirable that a paper should contain; but we think the value of the matter presented has been more than a compensation for the lack mentioned.

It has been the design to complete the presentation of all the subjects introduced as far as possible in this volume; but in a lengthy series, this has been difficult, and some important subjects partially presented in this volume will be continued in the next. This is the case with the Atonement, the Kingdom, and the Immortality questions. Some interesting subjects for which we have not found room in this volume, as Spiritualism, the Saints’ Inheritance, &c., will be given in the next volume.

With a general feeling of union, co-operation, courage, and good cheer, in all parts of the field, and in all departments of the work, with a general condition of prosperity and indications of more abundant success in the future, we close this volume, and prepare to enter upon the new, determined to make it, by the blessing of God, of still deeper interest, and a still greater strength and power in the good cause which it is to advocate and defend.
