OUR WEEKLIES.

By Editor

WE wish to say a word to all lovers of present truth in behalf of the Review and Herald. It is the church paper of the denomination, and should be in the house of every Seventh-day Adventist. It contains information which no one can afford to dispense with. It should not be superseded by the Signs in any household, as the object and place of the two papers are quite different. Not different in respect to publishing and advocating the great doctrine of the Lord's coming according to Rev. 14, for both do this. But the Signs is not specially a church paper, but a pioneer paper, published under the auspices of the Tract and Missionary Society. Between these papers there can never be any rivalry; the providence and Spirit of God has clearly assigned to each its place in this great work, and they who wish to work in the cause, and keep pace with its progress, want both the Signs and Review. We hope our ministers and tract workers will not cease their efforts until the Review is in every family where the faith is professed.

We are not speaking this specially for the Pacific coast, though we do mean this. We are informed by the ministers that there are many families of believers in the Eastern States where the Review is not taken. We remember years in the past when this was not so. Every one who loved the truth, loved and read our church paper. Would that we might speedily see that time again.
