New and Important Works.

WE consider the Pamphlet entitled, "The Law of God: Testimony of Both Testaments" by J. H. WAGGONER of Wisconsin, noticed in our list of Publications, a most thorough and triumphant refutation of the no-law, no-Sabbath system. This is one of our most important works.
Bro. D. P. HALL of Wisconsin is preparing an excellent work on the Immortality question. Some of his articles have appeared in the REVIEW, which speak for themselves. The work will probably be completed in a few weeks.
Bro. J. M. STEPHENSON of Wisconsin is preparing a work on the Atonement. From what we have seen of the manuscript, we think its value cannot be estimated, and that it will meet the wants of the cause on that subject.
It is a matter of grateful thanksgiving to God that he has raised up men in Wisconsin to faithfully and ably defend the truth. These brethren have given themselves entirely to the work. But in a nearly new field, in a new country, there are many hardships and deprivations, especially in presenting unpopularBible truth, of which those in other portions of the field are ignorant. Many of the friends of the cause in the West are poor; others are in debt, and but very few have yet learned to sacrifice for the cause of truth. These brethren and others we might mention, are intending to enter new places this Fall, and the coming Winter and Spring, where they cannot expect to receive for their labors but a small part of what will be required for their expenses and the support of their families. We would say to our readers in Wisconsin, Let these servants of the Lord share your liberalities. See that they have a comfortable support, that they may go out free to work for God.
We are personally acquainted with these dear brethren, and know that they are "the poor of this world." We have concluded to send to Brn. Waggoner, Hall and Stephenson, one hundred dollars worth of their own books, when all are completed, to be divided among them, as a small remuneration for preparing them for the press; and call on the friends of the cause to send us their donations, as the Lord hath prospered them, to that amount. Brethren, here is a good opportunity to use some of your means to the glory of God. "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase." You who have given to the cause of missions, &c., here have a chance to do, which will tell to the glory of God. If more than the small sum named shall be received, it shall be expended for publications for preaching brethren in Wisconsin, at the rate of 2000 pages for $1.
The above statements are made without the least solicitation or hint from the brethren in Wisconsin.
