Progress of the Cause.

By J. Clarke

NOTHING so interests the lover of present truth as the progress of the last message to a fallen world, now on the verge of closing time.

The late articles in the REVIEW, from the pen of Bro. White, showing the duty of the church in respect to the School, the Health Institute, and other movements now in progress, show an appreciation of the great work to be done; and it is to be fondly hoped that the church will move nobly and unitedly forward, and thus encourage our leaders, and satisfy the calls of the openings of God's good providence, in waking up the public mind here and everywhere to the facts of the case; and a wish on the part of all nations and languages to investigate on all subjects connected with our present and future welfare.

To send out supplies of educated men to proclaim the truth, to fit up men of talent to go out into the world and meet error successfully, and to put down heathenish ideas, in medicine, in theology, and to point out clearly and acceptably proper methods of life, as to dress and diet, as to doctrine and precept, this is the work of this time. Christian, arouse! Have you talent, consecrate it to God, whether it be of wealth, or mind, or of influence; and let the Lord's treasury overflow with men and means.

J. CLARKE.
