By J. D. Pierson

From Bro. Pierson.

BRO. WHITE : As I am a firm believer in all the teachings of the Bible and am a reader of the Review which is wholly based on that holy book, I would like to express my feelings in regard to it. The Bible and those precious volumes, bearing the undisputed title, "Spiritual Gifts," and the Review, combined, form a treasure for all those that love to feast on the word of God, and have faith in a compassionate Saviour.

The paper is a welcome visitor in my family. I could not enjoy myself without it. I love it; I love the cheering testimonies, that are weekly recorded on its pages, from God's dear people.

I am a poor man, with nothing but my hands to rely upon, but the Review is cheap enough for me at three dollars a year.

Let me inquire of the many young men in our ranks, who have no families dependent on them, and who read the Review from year to year, Will you not consider the wants of the cause, and open your hearts and purses to the precious cause of truth, that it be not hindered for the want of means. Wages are high and money is plenty. Every one can do a little. The widow's mite was more acceptable than the rich, because she gave what she could. Let us try to be awake to these things; for we have but a little time to work. "We are not our own, we are bought with a price." Let it not be said of us "ye have robbed the Lord in tithes and offerings."

Yours in hope.
