With acknowledgment first to God, Truth, grateful recognition is here made to all friends of the Journal who have, during the last weeks, made expression of the helpfulness to them of articles in its pages from our beloved Teacher, or approval of editorial positions, and of its tone and matter generally.
Thanks are also due for the increase of its usefulness through large additions made to its subscription list. Extracts from some of the letters addressed to our Teacher or to the Journal, were published in the April issue, and in the present this publication is continued.
Her students will notice with regret, on the cover page of the Journal, further indication of our Teacher's complete severance from its management and control; but with none can this regret be so profound as with those who have been honored in it with her direct association, and guided by her wisdom. Two circumstances will lighten the regret of readers of the Journal in reading this final and unqualified announcement. The first is, that our Teacher will continue to use the pages of the Journal—as she does in this issue— when God tells her to speak to her students in rebuke of error or in support of Truth; the second is, that her time will be occupied in the crowning work for God, of her great mission to humanity.
