All who send money to make up FULL RATES on their advanced credits for Review, are requested to state that the money is sent for that purpose that we may know how to give credit for the same.
It is expected that our brethren who have paid in advance at the former rate of $2.00 and $2.50 a year, will make up their credits.
HENRY F. PHELPS: We cannot furnish the back numbers of Review that you call for.
MRS. L. E. MARTIN: The $2.00 have not been received: We send the Review as you have directed.
DANIEL BEAL says he has moved to N——, Mich., and wants his papers sent there; but he gives us no instruction where he moved from. Until he gives such information we shall have to let his papers continue to go where they are now going.
C. PRANGE & BRO.: The book is not yet ready.
HENRY NICOLA: We are sorry to say, the money never reached us. We give the credits as you stated.

Now Ready.
THOUGHTS on the Revelation. This work is now completed and ready for orders. An idea of its nature and design, may be gathered from the Preface, which we herewith present:
“An increase of knowledge in reference to the prophetic portions of the word of God, was to be one of the characteristics of the last days. Said the angel to Daniel, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased;” or, as Michaelis’ translation reads, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even unto the time of the end, when many shall give their sedulous attention to the understanding of these things, and knowledge shall be increased.” While it is true that, of late years, knowledge has marvelously increased, in every department of science, yet it is evident that this prophecy specially contemplates an increase of knowledge concerning those prophecies that are designed to give us light in reference to the close of this dispensation, and the setting up of the everlasting kingdom of God. The fulfillment of the prophecy in the increase of this knowledge, is one of the pleasing signs of the present time. For about half a century, light has been breaking forth upon the prophetic word, and shining with ever-increasing luster to the present day.”
“In no portion of the word of God is this more apparent, than in the book of Revelation; for no other part of that word deals so largely in prophecies that pertain to the closing scenes of earth’s history. No other book contains so many chains of prophecy reaching down to the end. In no other book is the grand procession of events that leads us through to the termination of probationary time, and ushers us into the realities of the eternal state, so fully and minutely set forth. No other book embraces so completely, as it were, in one grand sweep, all the truths that can concern the last generation of the inhabitants of the earth, and sets forth so comprehensively all the aspects of the times, physical, moral, and political, in which the triumph of earthly woe and wickedness shall end, and the eternal reign of righteousness begin. It is to call attention especially to these features of the book of Revelation, which seem heretofore to have been too generally overlooked, that these Thoughts are now offered to the public.”
“No effort to arrive at a correct understanding of the Revelation needs any apology. The Lord of the prophecy has himself pronounced a blessing upon him that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep the things which are written therein; for the time is at hand. And it is with an honest purpose of aiding somewhat in arriving at this understanding, which is set forth by this language as not only possible but praiseworthy, that the following pages have been prepared, and are now commended to the careful and candid attention of the reader.”
Phonography Correspondence
Bro. H. F. Phelps, of Pine Island, Goodhue Co., Minn., would be happy to correspond with any one in Phonography, for the mutual benefit of each in that beautiful art.
General Conference Session
By Editor
Tuesday, May 14, at 9 A. M., the General Conference will commence its fifth annual session. From that point the meetings of the different organizations will continue through the week. In all these meetings, most of those connected with the Office will be engaged; hence there will be no paper next week. Number 24 we shall endeavor to have out early the week following.
Conference Delegates Arrive
We are already cheered by the arrival of a goodly number of delegates and brethren to participate in the coming Conference. The following ministers were with us Sabbath. Brn. J. N. Andrews, J. N. Loughborough, J. H. Waggoner, N. Fuller, D. T. Boudreau, J. Sanborn, J. Matteson, M. E. Cornell, J. D. Van Horn, S. Pierce, A. S. Hutchins, and D. M. Canright.
Health Reformer Subscriptions
By Editor
The Health Reformer for May is out. The volume will close with a double number to be issued in June. Hence it is time for subscribers to be renewing their subscriptions for volume two. It should not lose any. We predict that it will increase during the next volume, in interest and usefulness. All should continue it. And there are many S. D. Adventists who have not yet subscribed for it. We would say to those who have thus let one volume go without subscribing, Let it be the last. Subscribe at once.
