WHERE SHALL WE CIRCULATE?

EVERYWHERE. In all places. Why not? We design to have something in the REVIEW which will benefit all classes: some reproof for every known sin; some exhortation profitable for all to follow. We desire to have the REVIEW find its way into every Christian family, and search out every honest heart. Wherever there is a person who gives evidence that he loves the Lord Jesus; wherever there is one who in reality, as well as profession, is willing to take the Bible and the Bible alone as his rule of faith and practice; wherever there is one who is willing to take his stand unflinchingly upon the word of God, and treat with its deserved contempt and scorn any tradition that may have insidiously crept in to subvert that word; wherever there is one who is seeking for the old paths, and desiring to walk therein regardless of the course which the multitude may take,—there the REVIEW should circulate. We have confidence to believe that there are even more than "seven thousand" of such, who have not yet in heart "bowed the knee to the Baal" of tradition. Be on the look-out for such; and wherever you find them bring them in contact with the REVIEW and with the published expositions of present truth. Let the light blaze full upon them; and you will see your efforts rewarded by an increasing rally around the standard of truth. And will not this be reward enough? Yes; enough for all those who love and labor for the truth for the truth's sake.
Our subscription list was very encouragingly increased during the last volume; but each succeeding volume should be an advance upon any that has gone before. Let each then do what they can in this respect for volume seventeen, remembering that nothing marks the prosperity of a paper more than an increasing list of subscribers, and that nothing inspires the hearts of its conductors with more zeal and courage, than to see its testimony spreading and to receive new and numerous calls for its weekly visits.
