A Word From Mexico

By A. ALLEN JOHN

THE REVIEW of the eleventh of May, containing President Daniells's address, and other important matter, has reached us. We regret the loss which all sustain who were not permitted personally to share the blessings of the conference in the way of wise reproofs, timely admonitions, and true encouragement. Yet it is a cause of gratitude that the REVIEW has been so wisely chosen to bear so many of these blessings to us, and that each can examine himself and apply that which will satisfy the longings of the soul. Thus doubly welcome is the REVIEW, and doubly blessed those who read it with profit.

“While meditating, this morning, as to the “word in season,” which I fain would speak to those who are burdened for the perishing, and desire to have this message, so solemn, so grand, so urgent, encircle the world in this generation, the one word which flashed before me and still remains was, “Go!” A familiar word, is it not? A business word, too! Victory for some one! “Go!” dear brother, sister, “Go!” “So run that ye may obtain.”

For self-supporting workers there are numberless openings. Missionary farmers, tradesmen, merchants, lawyers, teachers, nurses, and physicians are needed. The world is not large. Heaven is near all. The blessed dead of Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the surging ocean, will hear the Archangel's voice at the same instant as those who sleep on the American continent. That He may then say, “Come!” he now says, “Go!”
