On Time.

By A. S. Hutchins

A WIDE-AWAKE T. and M. worker, on reading my appeal for the collection of old REVIEWS, SIGNS, REFORMERS, &c., writes me: “We can use hogsheads of them. The interest awakened by our T. and M. Society calls for barrels of them. We send them South. We also want barrels of them to send out on vessels to all parts of the world. Not a vessel leaves the harbor of New Bedford without taking publications.” He then states that often the captain or some other one, or ones, are especially interested to take them, promising to leave them at every port they make; then closes by saying, “Send all you can spare to my address.”

This brother’s time is ahead of ours in Vermont. Brethren, let us spring into action, and gather up the rays of light and truth, to be borne away by the rolling billows, the white-crested waves, to the nations of the earth now without knowledge of these things.
