To Our Friends.

THREE weeks since, we made a statement to our friends relative to present embarrassments. Many thanks to those who have so promptly responded. But some have not fully understood the cause of our embarrassments. We run in debt several thousands in publishing the Charts and other publications, and made arrangements for a vigorous campaign this winter and spring, in which we could make sales and pay debts, and have means to help the needy. But sickness in our family, bereavement, and our own ill health, have prevented the prosecution of our plans. We therefore invited our friends, who have ever been ready to assist us, and who can do it without the least embarrassment, to receive the Charts and publications from us by express, charges pre-paid, and sell them for us with the lean commission of—Thank you.
We are very grateful to many friends for their words of sympathy. Those who have sent us donations will receive them again, by mail, with our thanks. All the help we ask of our friends at present is their prayers, and that some one in each locality of Sabbath-keepers will receive the Charts, &c., and that the brethren will furnish themselves and families with them. We do not ask you to take that which is of trifling worth, but would urge you to take at a low price these times that which is invaluable.
The Key will be ready soon. We had set apart the last week to complete it; but that has been a sad week, watching our Willie, very sick with lung fever. Thank God, he is fast recovering. All these things delay Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 3. Be patient, brethren, we will do our best.
It will be convenient to send with the Charts and other books, the English and American Bible, and other valuable books, at the publisher's prices, as follows:
Cruden's Condensed Concordance, . . . . $1,25 Bible Dictionary, . . . . 1,00 Bible Atlas, . . . . 0,75 Nelson on Infidelity, . . . . 0,50 Fables of Infidelity, . . . . 0,60 Pilgrim's Progress, . . . . 0,40
We will also send note paper by the ream, and envelopes at wholesale prices. Friends, let us hear from you.
