To the Brethren and Sisters.
By M. S. Avery
LET me, dear friends, stir up your minds by way of remembrance. What shall be done in this present time of need? Must the precious cause of present truth now suffer for want of means, to aid its advancement? Must thousands that are still in darkness, remain so because our efforts are insufficient to spread it before them? Have we done all that we can for the cause of truth, and shall we now leave all the work for a few care-worn but willing souls to accomplish? Dear friends, do we believe this work to be of God? then let us be more zealous in giving our assistance, and aid all that we can those that have been, and are still sorely burdened. Can we not all do something, or even a little more than we have, and thereby show our faith by our works. We have through the mercies of God, and the exertions of our brethren been permitted to see and rejoice in the glorious light of truth; we ought then to fully appreciate its worth, and all with one accord exert ourselves to the utmost that others might be brought under its purifying influence, and saved from the fatal and delusive snares of the present age. M. S. AVERY. Locke, Mich., Jan. 28th, 1855.
