TO THE KANSAS T. AND M. SOCIETY, DIST. NO. 3.
Dear Brethren, we are once more entering the season of the year when the long evenings afford ample time for reading; and all have more or less time to investigate the great truths of these last days. Now, shall we let this opportunity pass unimproved, or shall we do our whole duty in the fear of God? The world must be warned. God has called us as a people to this work. Will we do it? It calls for time. Can we spare it? It calls for means. Can we give that? It calls for self-denial. Can we stand that. It calls for one long, patient, united effort. Will we all unitedly do what we can? The result will be grand. The reaping time will soon come. Eternal life will be the reward for doing just the work the Lord has for us. It may be small, but however small, it will never lose its reward. Oh! how precious to hear the words of the Saviour, “Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me!” Then let us not forget the work before us in sending out the precious truth. You say, My neighbors are all supplied. But have you not a friend or an acquaintance to whom you can send something? “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand. Thou knowest not which shall prosper, this or that.” If you cannot distribute tracts, perhaps you can give something to help pay for them. Then send in your reports with that part of the blank filled, at least. I find there are members of our churches in this district who are not members of the T. and M. Society, who are more able than some that are members. I think it a great privilege, yea, more, the duty of every member of our churches, to belong to the T. and M. Society. I hope all will take a part in this noble work. If there are any scattered brethren in this district, I should be glad if they would correspond with me. My address is Uniontown, Bourbon Co., Kansas. In conclusion, brethren, I say, Let us march to the front; let us write the truth, talk the truth, live out the truth, and become sanctified through the truth, and finally saved by it in the everlasting kingdom.
