An Open Letter

By A. Carey

Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.
DEAR BRETHREN: The experience that has come to me of late has been so precious that I want to tell you somethingabout it. As I have watched the development of events in connection with the removal of the REVIEW to Washington, my heart has been made glad to see that God is leading his people on to the triumphs of the message.
How any one can live in the message without the REVIEW is more than I can tell. A sister told me yesterday that she puts in all her time reading the Bible, and has no time for other reading. With me the Bible and the REVIEW go hand in hand, the one telling what God has done and will do, and the other telling what he is doing week by week through human instrumentalities in these last days.
The coming of Christ is the hope and anchor of my soul, and as the omens of its nearness thicken around, my heart rejoices more and more. When I catch the thought that the Saviour said, “Verily,” that is, positively, “this generation,” the generation which shall see all these things, “shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled,” then my heart is aglow with rapture, and I press to the work with new energy, hoping to help a little in hastening the coming of the Just One. May heaven continue to bless the good old missionary, the REVIEW, and give it constantly renewed life and power in holding up the standard for the people.
A lowly servant of the Master,
A. CAREY.
