REVIEW, VOICE, SIGNS, AND TRUE MISSIONARY.

BRO. HASKELL is right in urging immediate action in obtaining 30,000 subscribers. To do this work judiciously and properly will require time and patient effort. There is, therefore, no time to be lost. It is very important that as many subscribers as possible be obtained in season to receive the first number at the beginning of the year 1875.
And yet it would be better to take more time to do this work properly, than to do it carelessly on time. Let the work be done faithfully, and be pushed forward as soon and as fast as practicable. Hundreds of names, such as H. W. Beecher, were forwarded last year. These men have neither time nor disposition to give our views the least attention. Let our precious periodicals go where they will not be consigned to the waste paper basket before a single paragraph of them is read.
The Voice of Truth is designed for a pioneer paper, to go out everywhere to the unbelieving world, and never to take the place of the REVIEW among our people, while the REVIEW will be adapted to the church. In it will be given weekly appointments and reports of missionary meetings, and more full explanations of plans of operation. The True Missionary monthly being insufficient for this great work will be merged in the REVIEW at the close of the present year.
As fast and as far as possible, the free subscribers to the Signs of the Times east of the Rocky Mountains should be transferred to The Voice of Truth, either at full, or at one-half price.
All the friends of the present truth on the Pacific Coast should stand by their paper now, and work with vigilance to bring it up to a self-sustaining point. This will require work. We published the REVIEW AND HERALD four years by donations, and at the close of those years, in July, 1854, there was not one-fourth the financial strength with all our scattered few at that time that there is now on the Pacific Coast.
Those east of the Rocky Mountains, who have pledged One Hundred Dollars each for the press in California, are requested to forward the sums to this Office, and they will be acknowledged in the REVIEW, and held subject to the order of the California Conference Committee. J. W.
