Important Works.

By Uriah Smith

We have received from the Signs Office, Oakland, Cal., Testimony to the Church No. 26, and also an Appeal from the General Conference Committee, entitled Dangers and Duties of our Time.

Testimony No. 26, a work of 208 pages, is filled with matter adapted to the wants of the people at this present time. The many admonitions it contains are most timely and important. We trust their force will be felt, and that they will be appreciated and heeded.

The Appeal from the Committee is equally timely. Some of its statements are startling, but who, candidly looking at the matters introduced, can say that they are not just. We expect it will be instrumental in producing the awakening so much needed among us at the present time.

As Bro. White elsewhere states, both these works are sent out without waiting for orders. The friends will approve of this plan, as thereby much time will be saved. The method proposed to meet the expense is also such as no one can take any exception to. All will agree that the expense should be met not from any existing fund, but from fresh contributions. And if more than enough to meet the actual cost of the works is sent in it will go into the General Conference treasury, where means is so much needed. Churches should at once take up collections, and individuals should make remittances, as suggested. Send either to Oakland, Cal., or to Battle Creek, Mich.
