Communications.

By Editor

Our friends will remember that two pages (one quarter) of the REVIEW are especially designed for communications from abroad. This is that brethren and sisters from all parts of the field may have a medium of communicating freely with each other, and making known to the remnant their own hopes and determinations, and the progress and prosperity of the cause of truth in their vicinity. For there is a large class of our readers with whom this department of the paper possesses the greatest interest.

There are many scattered and lonely ones who seldom have the privilege of meeting with those of kindred faith and hopes; and the perusals of the communications in the REVIEW, as they have often expressed it, are the only conference meetings they have. For their sakes, therefore, we hope this department may be well filled with testimonies from many of our correspondents each week. We may not in all cases be able, on account of space, to give the entire letters as they are written; but from such we will present extracts of what is most important and interesting. Short articles also on subjects of common interest are solicited from brethren and sisters.

Our correspondence has of late been quite cheering. There seems to be a desire among the remnant in all parts, to rise in spirituality, to be more consecrated to God, and manifest more zeal and energy in his service. May this work go on till God shall indeed have upon the earth a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
