We should have been better pleased had we been enabled to report a larger accession to our list during the past month, but we are thankful for what has been done. It proves to us that there are still brethren and sisters in the committee who have a mind and a will to work. We trust they will not cease their efforts as long as there is a subscriber to be obtained in their vicinity. It is probable that all, or nearly all of the Sabbath-keeping households are now receiving the Review, so that we cannot expect many more accessions from that source; but there is a wide field for usefulness outside of our ranks, among the many honest ones both in and out of the churches, who are living up to all the light they have, many of whom would no doubt receive the truth with gladness were it presented to them in a proper manner. To this field we wish to call the attention of our committee. There has never been a better time to send the Review to friends who are unacquainted with present truth than now. For the next six months or a year, it will be laden with important matter, especially adapted to those who never investigated the different subjects of our faith. The Review151of Elder Preble's articles on the Sabbath, which was commenced in the last number, will occupy a portion of each number for some time, which will probably be followed by a review of the celebrated Aker's Chronology, by brother Aldrich. It will also probably contain a discussion on the life and death question, between Elder R. F. Cottrell and Elder N. V. Hull, a Seventh-day Baptist. These articles presenting both sides of the different questions upon which they are written, together with the usual variety of original and selected matter upon all points of present truth, usually contained in the Review, cannot fail to make it an effective agent in exposing error and winning souls to the truth.
