Read the "Review"

By Editor

SISTER MINNIE EMBREE PARKER writes as follows of the benefit she received from reading the REVIEW of Nov. 27, 1913:—
"I have been especially impressed with the food for our people contained in last week's REVIEW. I do not know that it was any better than every other number has been, but it impressed me because I read more in it than I have in many numbers. My husband read quite a little to me after he came in from work, while I was about my household duties.
"There was the first article by dear Elder Loughborough, 'Fruitless Confessions.' He is one who has done so much by pen and voice to build up the denomination. Then Elder Haskell's article on 'Bible Readings' shows that the 'rank and file of the people should be instructed to enter homes and teach the people the truth of God.' The article 'The Destruction of Sin' is surely present truth for this time when we need all the help we can get in order to be prepared to 'live in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor.' Then comes an interesting explanation of the puzzling question, 'Did Jephthah Sacrifice His Daughter?' Surely no one could read and grasp the thoughts in the next article without being determined never to doubt the fact that 'God will provide a living for commandment keepers, that with the Sabbath he will give the bread.'
"The author of 'Gospel Finance' shows that the nearness of the end, and the fact that we should cut loose from the world, do not mean 'that we are to become neglectful of the responsibility to do with our might the work that God's providence provides for us.'
The editorial pages are full of good things which our people should think of,—special deliverance in time of trouble, the wrong kind of social gatherings for Christians, the blindness and folly of bigotry, and a very interesting report of the work in the European Division. But time and space forbid my telling of all the good things under Note and Comment, The World-Wide Field, Home and Health, The Field Work, and the different departments—Missionary Volunteer, Publishing, and Religious Liberty. As I consider all the help given in this one issue alone, I think, If Satan can keep our people too busy to read the REVIEW, he can rest well satisfied."
