The New Volume of the Review.
By Editor
WITH this number, the REVIEW enters upon a new volume. It ought to enter upon a higher sphere of usefulness. It should be a more spiritual paper. Every article in its columns ought to be indited by the Spirit of God. The truth should shine out with clearness from its pages. It should give the trumpet a certain sound. It ought to be, and it must be, the means of instructing its readers in the truths of the Bible, and inciting them to advancement in the things of the Spirit of God. We must as a people live more in the spirit of consecration to God. The REVIEW is the only preacher to many of the scattered people of God. It must itself constantly advance if it lead forward its readers toward the heavenly kingdom. Not a few of those who have read the REVIEW in the past, will close their eyes in death ere the present volume is finished. Shall its teaching cause such to set their houses in order for that solemn event? The REVIEW has a definite object to accomplish. It is to lead men to the observance of the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, that they may prepare for the swiftly-hastening Judgment. Every volume brings us nearer this grand event. With every volume the responsibility of the REVIEW increases. Shall the REVIEW be such a paper as we need? Shall it discharge its weighty responsibilities in such a manner as to truly serve the cause of Christ, and promote the salvation of perishing men? Let all its readers remember the REVIEW in their prayers. Let all who write for its columns seek the unction of the Holy Spirit, and may God make the REVIEW a blessing to his cause.
