Reading the Review

By Emilie Isaak

I FEEL like writing a word of praise for the REVIEW. It is so good in all its departments that we hardly know which to read first when it arrives. Our hearts are strengthened every time we read it. It gives us such a good glimpse of how the great work is rapidly broadening out all over the great harvest-field, that it spurs us on to greater activity.

I suppose that we in the foreign fields enjoy it much more, perhaps, than those at home; yet I do not see how any one can get along without it. I think that a careful reader of the REVIEW will never fall from the truth, no matter what his business may be, or where he may live. If the isolated members, or those whose work throws them in constant contact with the many temptations of the world, would take time each week to read the REVIEW, their eyes would be kept open to detect the many snares of the evil one, and they could stand as firm, good lights amid a world of sin. Such ones as our nurses, public-school teachers, dressmakers, etc., ought to take the admonition and provide themselves with the REVIEW, so as to be able to read the good things its pages contain.

We are living in the time when we must cling closely to eternal principles, as well as closely to one another. The REVIEW is surely instrumental in keeping us all more closely united, making us stronger to stand against the evil forces. Then it also points out continually any error, which the cunning deceiver tries to tangle up with the truth, and set forth the true gospel so clearly that none of its readers can be misled. Therefore let us all, old and young, at home and abroad, read the REVIEW. I know from experience that God does bless this effort.
