THE REVISION OF "FACTS FOR THE TIMES."

By George I. Butler

This very valuable compilation of facts, extracts from authors, statistics, etc., has been out of print for some time. The writer has been urged by the Board of Trustees of the Association to revise it by adding other important matters to it for a new edition. Things are constantly coming to light in this fertile age. Startling events are transpiring, and statements from prominent persons are being made, which have an important bearing upon the cause of present truth. We greatly desire that the forthcoming edition shall be still more valuable than any which has preceded it. And it may be such, if we can get access to all the important matters in the possession of our ministers and people which they have treasured up.

We are examining the volumes of the REVIEW which have been published since the previous edition was printed, calling out important matter for the book. But there are many things which our ministers and friends have gathered from other papers and books, which would be valuable for this compilation. These may be in scrap-books or otherwise preserved. If these were printed in this book, they would be useful to many.

Now, if any of our brethren having extracts which they think would be valuable, will send them to me at once, I will examine them, and such as are thought suitable will be inserted. If not used, I will return them to the sender, if desired. We ask all interested to consider this. If you send them, do so just as promptly as possible, for we have no time to lose. Send to Geo. I. Butler, Battle Creek, Mich.
