SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE REVIEW.

By George I. Butler

SUBSCRIPTIONS are coming in by the hundreds since the dictionary, so favorably spoken of, has been offered to those who would subscribe for the first time. At this season of the year, when many subscriptions expire, and when times are so hard, we are forced to the painful duty of cutting off many names. But we are sure most of these will renew. We have never seen a person who was not pleased with the dictionary. It is an exceedingly useful book for every family, and there is none in the market for the same money which will compare with it. With such a premium, it is easy to get persons to subscribe who have no religious interest; and we cannot tell how many of these will become interested. One of our brethren, whose life of integrity as a Sabbath-keeper had long been known in his neighborhood, and who had thought he never could obtain a subscriber, went out one afternoon and obtained four or five. He continued to go out, and obtained others. One man took the paper who had in his house already two dictionaries, one of them unabridged. Many of our people could succeed as well as this brother. Always try first to get their subscription for a year at $2.00, with the dictionary; if you cannot, then try for six months at $1.00. G. I. B.
