THE SUPPLEMENT.

By Editor

FOR some time important articles have been accumulating relating more especially to the dangers and duties of our own people at this time, which we did not wish to publish in the SIGNS on account of the limited space. We have therefore decided to issue a Supplement, which we trust will not only be found interesting but profitable to all.

We would call special attention to Sister White's article, entitled, "Missionary Work by Correspondence." This shows very clearly that all can have a part in warning the world of its impending doom, and points out one way of doing the work. In connection with this article it might be well to read the one entitled, "The SIGNS and What People Say About It." This may serve as an encouragement to many to take hold of the work. Elder Haskell's article, "To Those Who Feel Anxious to Work but Do Not Know How to Begin," carries out the same idea still further, and will be interesting to all.

We trust that none will fail to read "Extracts from a Late Appeal from Sister White," also the two articles from Elder Haskell, entitled, "Is It a Sacrifice?" and "How Some Have Helped the Cause," all treating upon different phases of the same subject. We are glad to say that some of our brethren have already begun to act upon these suggestions, and are doing as brother D, E, and F did, as referred to in one of the above-named articles, and money is being donated, or placed in our various institutions without interest, thus enabling the work to be carried forward to much better advantage. We look forward to the time, and that not far distant, when all our institutions will be relieved from their interest-bearing debt.

We cannot stop to enumerate all the articles contained in this Supplement, but all are good, and will bear reading many times, and we trust that the instruction given and suggestions made will be acted upon, and that we shall witness a spirit of sacrifice, and desire to labor, such as we have never seen in the past. The end is fast approaching, and our time to labor is short. Let us work while the day lasts.

It is the desire of the publishers that every Sabbath-keeper and lover of present truth should have a copy of this Supplement. Will those to whom extra copies are sent please see that they are properly distributed, and if more copies are wanted please notify us, and they will be furnished free of charge.
