THE TIME HAS COME

By James White

To scatter our publications and extend our labors. The steam press works finely, and very fast. We can print more in one day than with the hand press in two weeks. Then the work was very heavy, now it is light. We must keep the press running, and let the silent messengers go everywhere. There should be a Book Repository at every important point.

In order that the book business may be extensively and properly carried forward, there must be a capital at the Office of at least $5000. And it is a fact that our Book Fund amounts to only $1500. Now what shall be done? We suggest that brethren or sisters who can spare $50, or $100 dollars each, lend it to the Office, without interest, with the privilege of drawing it out when they choose, after giving thirty days’ notice. We have several hundred dollars at the Office already on this plan; but as more is needed, we call on the numerous friends of the cause in this public manner, to come up to the help of the Office, with their fifties and their one hundreds.
