The Testimonies.

By Editor

WE are more and more impressed with the importance of the volumes which will soon be issued at this office, containing the "Testimonies" which have been published in numbers all the way from 1856 to the present year. In the work of preparing these for the press it fell upon us to read almost the entire matter of the four volumes. Quite recently we have read Nos. 16 to 20, and it is difficult to realize that such a mass of important instruction has been given to this people. We would call special attention to No. 18. This should be circulated and read much more extensively than it ever has been.

The question is often asked, Is it advisable to place these in the hands of all classes? We say, Yes. We wish they could be read by all the world. They truly lay the ax at the root of the tree. We are glad that they will be produced in a permanent form, and hope every family where the "present truth" is prized will have a set; and they who can should have an extra set to lend to their friends and neighbors.
