it. Part of the money that comes in from the sale of our publications
should be used to increase our facilities for the production of more
literature that will open blind eyes and break up the fallow ground
of the heart.
There is danger of entering into commercialism and becoming so
engrossed in worldly business that the truths of the word of God in
their purity and power will not be brought into the life. The love of
trade and gain is becoming more and more prevalent. My brethren,
let your souls be truly converted. If ever there was a time when we

papers. There are many who can help in the work of selling our
periodicals. The Lord calls upon all of us to seek to save perishing
souls. Satan is at work to deceive the very elect, and now is our
time to work with vigilance. Our books and papers are to be brought
before the notice of the people; the gospel of present truth is to be
given to our cities without delay. Shall we not arouse to our duties?
If we are making the life and teachings of Christ our study, every
passing event will furnish a text for an impressive discourse. It was
thus the Saviour preached the gospel in the highways and byways;
