The Readers of the Review
By Editor
ARE daily increasing. When we commenced the present volume, we sent out only 800 copies; now we send out 1600. And we have reasons to believe that a greater proportion of our readers now are Sabbath-keepers, than one year since. But there are some to whom we send the REVIEW that we have never heard from in any way. We know not but what they are believers in the present truth. But without doubt, some are not, and take little or no interest in the REVIEW. And, perhaps, some wish it discontinued. As names are daily sent in for the REVIEW we must print more copies, or erase the names of some to whom we have sent it some time, without as much as hearing from them. We conclude to do the latter. Before commencing another volume, we shall copy the names into new books, and wish to do all the erasing of names before that time. And here we wish to state to Agents, and to all, that the object in sending out the REVIEW, and thus spreading out the truth before individuals, is, that they may see and embrace the truth. But if they do not, after having a chance to learn our views, and if there is no prospect of the object for which we labor being gained, then we see no reason why the REVIEW should be continued to them, unless they wish to pay its cost, which is $1 a year. To cast our pearls before those who turn and rend us, is forbidden by our Lord. We would here say, that lack of means to aid in publishing the REVIEW should hinder no one from taking it. Let the worthy poor have it. But in many cases one copy will answer for two families. Those who send, or have sent names, will do well to bear this in mind. We have begun to erase names from our books, and shall erase more. And on the margin of the last paper we send to such we shall hereafter write their names in Red Ink. And if any of our readers who still wish the REVIEW continued, shall find their names in Red Ink on the margin of their paper, they will please write to us immediately, and it shall be continued, whether they can help sustain it or not. Let those who have sent names for the REVIEW, ascertain, if possible, whether it is accomplishing any good. If not, they should inform us. We have sent the REVIEW to some for more than a year without as much as hearing from them. They should write. But if they do not, they should not blame us for erasing their names, after reading these statements.
