Prices of Our Publications
69
The press is a power; but if its products fall dead for want of men
who will execute plans to widely circulate them, its power is lost.
While there has been a quick foresight to discern the necessity of
laying out means in facilities to multiply books and tracts, plans to
bring back the means invested so as to produce other publications,
have been neglected. The power of the press, with all its advantages,
is in their hands; and they can use it to the very best account, or they
can be half asleep and through inaction lose the advantages which they
might gain. By judicious calculation they can extend the light in the
sale of books and pamphlets. They can send them into thousands of
families that now sit in the darkness of error.—
