Special Notice.

By Editor

To whom it may concern: We design to copy our list books at the close of the present volume. We wish to commence Vol. xiii, with as clean a list as possible, and therefore would esteem it a favor to have all who are indebted to the Office, cancel as far as possible, their indebtedness previous to that time. We want to hear from all who receive our paper whether they consider themselves subscribers or not. We want to know how they stand disposed towards it, and whether or not they wish to receive it any longer. Let those who cannot pay, at least write. We have a number on our list who have had the paper now for five or six volumes, who have not during this time sent us a cent towards its publication, or given us any intimation by letter or otherwise that they wished its continuance. Such papers we must stop unless they respond to this appeal; for we believe there are circumstances under which forbearance ceases to be a virtue.

THREE MONTH SUBSCRIBERS. The subscription of quite a number of those who are having the paper on trial for three months, expires at the close of this volume. According to our terms in such cases, these papers must stop unless subscription is renewed.

We hope all our brethren far and near, east and west, north and south, will give heed to these suggestions, and enable us to commence Vol. xiii, with as large a list as possible of substantial, paying subscribers. Let none stop the paper on any consideration, who wish to examine its teachings further, or who feel that it would prove to them any blessing or advantage.
