The Review.

By James White

GREAT interest is taken in the REVIEW. It is all the preacher many of the scattered ones have for months. It should contain sound doctrine, and a variety of plain practical preaching, brief narrations of Christian experience written in a free, humble style, and stirring exhortations to obedience. Inexperienced writers often fail, in being too precise and stiff in style. They should know first that they have something to write, then write it in as free and easy style as if addressing a friend. To help the editor and printer, each communication should be copied so plainly that each word could be readily known standing alone. Use no more words than needed to fully give your ideas. The REVIEW may contain good preaching and a good conference meeting each week.

The decision to mail the REVIEW early in the week, and always on the same day of the week, if possible, is important. If mailed early in the week most will receive it before the Sabbath, which is desirable with all, especially with those who cannot attend meeting. If mailed the same day each week it will generally reach the subscriber's Post Office the same day each week, and all will know when to call at the Post Office for the REVIEW. J. W.
