THE NEW VOLUME.

By Uriah Smith

We enter again upon a new volume and a new year. The coming year we expect will be an eventful one. We look for significant and stirring scenes to take place. Yes, says one, still indulging in the sensational. Well, friends, we cannot well help being sensational; for we are living in sensational times; and the events transpiring around us everywhere, or bidding fair soon to occur, are themselves sensations of the most thrilling kind. The Lord save us from such deadened sensibilities that we cannot feel and be roused to enthusiasm in times like these.

For the Review we have only to say that the prow of the good old ship is kept rigidly toward the harbor; the colors are nailed to the mast; and we shall keep steadily forward regardless of the crazy crafts of error around us, under the inspiration of the most solemn and impressive message ever given to the children of men.
