The Working Time.

By George I. Butler

We hope there will be general attention given to Eld. Haskell’s article, concerning ten thousand subscribers for REVIEW and Reformer being obtained at once, as given in this issue of the REVIEW. We see no reason why these should not be obtained. If all will work with energy, it can be done. Our tract society organization makes it possible. Our new volume is to be prepared with especial care for the very purpose of furnishing such reading matter as will interest those not well acquainted with our views. Series of articles, designed to present before the mind the great principles of our faith, will be given. The winter season is the time to read, and the best time for our tract societies to labor with success.

Thousands of intelligent persons all around us on every side, need just such reading as our present volume will contain. The terms are exceedingly low so that all should feel like helping in the matter. Fifty cents for six months is nothing when we consider the amount of excellent reading matter to be obtained. Who knows how many of these trial subscribers may become permanent subscribers, and believers in the great truths advocated? Now, then, is the time to work. Set about it at once. Many have felt their lives were almost useless. Here is a chance to make them useful. Our views must be disseminated everywhere. Now is the favorable time to take hold of the work in earnest.
