From questions that have been asked, we know that many who have sent questions wonder why the answers to them do not immediately appear. Almost everyone who asks a question requests that it be answered in "the next issue of the paper."
Our correspondents of course do not know how many such requests are received every week. Each one imagines himself to be the only questioner; but as a matter of fact, we receive one, and sometimes several questions every day.
Now when it is remembered that the paper is printed but once a week, and that usually not more than one can be dealt with satisfactorily in one number, it is evident that some must be put off. But they are all saved, and it is the intention to give everyone due attention. So do not be discouraged, but keep on sending.
It is but just to say that questions are not always answered in the order that they are received. In answering, the editor selects from the mass the one that appeals most to him at the moment, and which he thinks will best serve the interests of both paper, and people at that time.
Please have patience; and if you do not see your own question answered at once, remember that some other person is being satisfied, even if you are not, and, with thousands of others, profit by what is said to that other one's question.--Present Truth, June 25, 1903.
