That there were published 2,000 copies of the Review, and that five persons read each copy, there would be 10,000 readers, which is the smallest computation; and suppose too, that out of these 10,000 readers, one in a hundred should write to the Review once in a week, stating candidly, and frankly, their present state, and spiritual wants, their joys and sorrows, doubts and fears, and inquiries, &c., &c. Many of these letters would demand an answer, say 10 of them; so here would be 110 letters, and items, and articles a week, and it would keep Bro. Smith and his staff, quite busy, to condense 110 articles so that the Review would contain them. But many would write, they say, only they have so little time. But all get time to eat, and drink, and sleep? and certainly the cause demands our best treasures.
I only speak as an individual; but I will say, I do desire ardently to hear from the saints, personally, and often. If there is no other time, take some sleepless night, when Satan will not let you sleep, and let us hear from the 110.
