When articles or communications for publication come to us we send out a card acknowledging the receipt. The card reads thus: "Your contribution is rec'd, and will be considered in its order. Accept thanks." This is signed by the editor. We keep these cards on hand, and as soon as a contribution comes to the office we intend to send one of them to show that it has been received. The card does not imply an acceptance or rejection, for when it is sent there has been no time for consideration. The dear contributors are sending in their tithes and offerings so liberally that the promise is fulfilled and our "storehouse" is well filled. Reports, etc., are abbreviated as much as possible to make room for as many as may be. All are doing their duty faithfully and lovingly to support the Journal,—which means so much to them, because it is the channel through which our Leader sends out her messages of love and admonition, and the students their thoughts and experiences.
We write this, not to stop the flow, but to let those whose testimonials do not appear know, that it is not because they are not worthy, but because we have not the space for all. The blessing is not lost because they are not published. The effort has been made, the thought has gone forth, and is one of the means of leavening the general thought. Many are wondering why their testimonials do not appear, and many are writing asking us the reason; that is why we make this explanation.
