“Save the Boys”

By H. F. Phelps

I CAN not forbear to plead for the boys and girls of this generation, who, most certainly, are rushing on to eternal ruin through rum and tobacco. Have we no special effort to make in their behalf? And ought not a little of the means that Seventh-day Adventists save each year by the disuse of these things be used in the circulation of this journal? From present appearances, this journal will fail from lack of support. We do not believe this is as God would have it.

Why should not the journal receive the support of our people? A brother in renewing says that the boys and girls of Seventh-day Adventists need its instruction. Our people would do a good work by aiding in its circulation. Our churches, missionary societies, and Sabbath-schools could do a good work by taking a quantity at club rates.

Many of our people could order one or more copies, and be none the worse off in this world's goods, and gain a spiritual blessing. Shall we be content to do less? Millions are perishing, while we are not doing the thousandth part of what we should do to save them. Some of these millions may be saved. Shall we try to help them? Why not, brethren? For the sake of these millions for whom Christ died; for the sake of him who died to save us; and for the love we have for him who has forgiven our sins, I make this appeal for your help in the work that this aged pilgrim is trying to do for these millions of perishing souls.
