AN APPEAL

By R. F. Andrews; Lizzie Campbell

TO OUR BRETHREN IN ILLINOIS WHO DO NOT TAKE THE REVIEW.

Dear Brethren: We desire that you should all have in your families the REVIEW, the Instructor, and Good Health. We regard these papers as almost indispensable aids for our people at this time. In order to keep pace with the message,—to be familiar with present truth and present duty,—you greatly need them. Would to God you could realize their importance to you. Our tract and missionary officers have been appointed to see that all our people in this Conference are provided with them.

Dear brethren, the fact that you do not have these papers has caused us much anxiety. Why do you not take them? Is it because of a lack of interest in the

precious truths they inculcate? Are not your sympathies and prayers still in harmony with this work? We fear many of you are perishing, spiritually, for want of these means of grace, and you know it not. Be aroused, and secure for your families the spiritual food supplied by these papers. If poverty be the cause of your not having them, our means shall be used to supply you. In love, we earnestly appeal to you to neglect not these means of grace.

Done by order of the Illinois T. and M. Society.

R. F. ANDREWS, Pres.

LIZZIE CAMPBELL, Sec.
