This number completes the third volume of the REVIEW. And here we wish to express our gratitude to God for what he has done for us, especially the last year. We came to Rochester thirteen months since, with very poor health, and almost destitute of means. We then had neither Office nor Sabbath-keeping Printers. We now have a good Office to do our own work, and hands who, not only act their part as Printers, but who feel a deep interest for the advancement of the cause of truth. This relieves us of many cares and burdens that we should otherwise have to bear. Our health has greatly improved.—We are free from debt, have quite a quantity of Tracts on hand, and are in a situation to go on with our work without embarrassment. We have been greatly encouraged by the promptness of our dear friends, aiding us with their means. They have our hearty thanks. May God’s blessing attend them in all their efforts to promote the cause of truth.

There are now about forty brethren and sisters in this City who assemble on the Lord’s Sabbath. We have been having our trials; but of late, there has been a spirit of labor in our meetings for more consecration to God and his cause, and for more of the Holy Spirit. And God is greatly blessing us.

In view of what the Lord has done for us the past year, we will praise his holy name, and with good courage toil on in this glorious cause.
