We sometimes meet with brethren who are in trial with us, and perhaps, have been in trial for months, because we do not give their communications, sent to the REVIEW Office, personal attention; may ask questions, and require a letter from us. Some others are tried with us in different ways. It is proper that we should here state that we are from home holding meetings at least one half of the time. When at home, we have no time to write private letters, only on important business. Probably we do not read one third of the letters sent to the REVIEW Office. They are read by others, and if necessary that we should see them, they are handed over to us. When at home, we are closely engaged in the duties of the Office, from 14 to 18 hours out of the 24. We should be happy to answer every question, and write many letters to our dear friends if we had time. We have gone far beyond our strength in times past, and have several times come very near the grave. We shall still do all in our power to serve our readers, and the precious cause of truth. And while we toil on, we expect that some who know comparatively nothing of our cares, trials and toils will complain. This we shall patiently bear. The battle will soon be over, the victory won, and the saints’ rest will be given. “Here is the patience of the saints, here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
