380 BIBLE REVIEW June-July
March BIBLE REVIEW has not been received in England
and Scotland, and we doubt if a single copy of that issue
has reached there.
A large shipment of books that was
sent to London was lost at sea, and we have also received
notices of several smaller shipments not being received.
These conditions become a drain upon our finances; as
Well as stop the circulation of the teachings. We are
pondering over these conditions, for it seems on the
one hand that we cannot afford to lose the books in the
sea, and yet on the other as long as the people are calling

efforts. We feel the urge that the Christ felt when he
said, "I must work the works of him that sent me, while
it is day: the night cometh when no man can work" (John
ix. 4). It certainly looks as if this time were not far off,
and yet there remain so many of the Father's children
who are soul-hnngering for the truth, and who
have
not yet received it, while we hold it in our possession.
Surely we have no time to lose. The progress of this
work should not devolve upon a few only, but upon all
those who have received and accepted these teachings
that the Father has sent to the world to save his people.
It is not enough for us to try to save ourselves, but it is
our duty also to labor faithfully and earnestly to save
all of the Father's children everywhere. We sincerely
