WE design publishing Tracts for distribution, containing the most important matter relative to our present position as Sabbath-keepers, looking for the soon coming of our Lord.
We have been satisfied for some time, that the cause of truth suffers for want of a thorough explanation of such subjects as the Sanctuary, 2,300 days, the Seven Churches, open and shut door, the Angels of Revelation xiv, &c. And it may be expected that considerable space in the Review and Herald will be occupied in the future, with these important subjects.
Let those who have difficulties in their minds on points of doctrine connected with our position, state them by letter, that those who write, may know better how to meet the wants of the brethren in this respect. And let us all search the Scriptures more diligently, and seek unto God with earnest prayer, that truth may shine out clearly, and be felt more powerfully.
Then we design publishing a series of Tracts, containing the same matter, for distribution. We have divided some of the donations receipted in this number, and have put down a part for this purpose. If any are not satisfied with the way we appropriate their means, we will make any alterations they may propose. We would suggest that these Tracts be sold at the lowest prices, to those who choose to buy, and the amount be receipted with the donations.
We also design publishing a work of about 400 pages, to contain the reasons of our position as Sabbath-keepers, waiting for our Lord's immediate return from the wedding. This work will be for sale.
Brethren have placed in our hands, about $300, which we have already paid out for paper for this object, which we are to return to them when the book shall be sold.
