be but a small margin to work upon. The wider the circulation of
our publications, the greater will be the demand for books that make
plain the Scriptures of truth. Many are becoming disgusted with the
inconsistencies, the errors, and the apostasy of the churches, and with
the festivals, fairs, lotteries, and numerous inventions to extort money
for church purposes. There are many who are seeking for light in
the darkness. If our papers, tracts, and books, expressing the truth in
[82]
plain Bible language, could be widely circulated, many would find
that they are just what they want. But many of our brethren act as
though the people were to come to them or send to our offices to obtain
publications, when thousands do not know that they exist.
Exalt the Value of the Books
God calls upon His people to act like living men and not to be
indolent, sluggish, and indifferent. We must carry the publications
to the people and urge them to accept, showing them that they will
receive much more than their money’s worth. Exalt the value of the
books you offer. You cannot regard them too highly.—
