No Wonder.

By L. A. S.

In one of our Conference papers a minister mentions having met recently a Seventh-day Adventist who did not know that there had been a session of the General Conference last spring. He of course knew nothing of the reorganization that had taken place, and expressed his surprise at the changes that had been made. Such ignorance seems very surprising, but the surprise largely disappears when we learn the cause: he was not a subscriber to our church paper, the REVIEW AND HERALD. Really, what could be expected of a Seventh-day Adventist who tries to get along without the information given from week to week in our church paper? How could such a one be expected to keep pace with the message? He could not; and this illustration shows how far in the rear it is possible for one to get under such circumstances.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” says the Scripture. We can save souls from perishing by a little effort put forth to extend the circulation of our church paper. L. A. S.
