Testimony No. 32.

By Alonzo Trévier Jones

WE take this occasion to speak a word further to our brethren in regard to this important work. As time grows shorter, the importance of diligence in the work committed to us, and of carefulness in individual action, becomes greater. And in this Testimony the attention of all is again most forcibly called to the dangers and duties that lie all about us. This number is of special importance to all in every department of our great work—to the minister, the missionary, the colporter, and the canvasser; to parents, to children, to husbands, and to wives; to the sick, to the well, to physicians, and to nurses; to churches, and to individuals.

We would not attempt to select any one part as more important than the others, but we will mention a few of the portions which are particularly worthy of careful and repeated perusal. These are: "The Influence of Unbelief—Deceitfulness of Sin—Marriage with Unbelievers—The Manufacture of Wine and Cider—The Support of City Missions—Young Men as Missionaries—Importance of the Canvassing Work—Business and Religion—Responsibilities of the Physician—The Coming Crisis—Joshua and the Angel."

This number is put up in durable shape, being well and handsomely bound in cloth. It contains 238 pages of closely printed matter, and the price is only 50 cents. Let the orders come in, large and fast. Nobody is to be enriched by it but the buyers. A. T. J.
