We are happy to inform our readers that the news which is daily reaching us, respecting the spread of the kingdom of God is indeed cheering and satisfactory. The faithful laborers who are engaged in pruning the vineyard find abundant employ, and are wishful to have more assistance, for the harvest is great buy the laborers are few. We hope that their
wishes will not be unheeded, but that the Elders in this city and vicinity will be prepared to make every reasonable sacrifice, and "as giants, refreshed with new wine," go forth and proclaim the everlasting gospel to the children of men, that the world may be left without excuse, when the heavens shall rend and the earth shall quake; when the Lord shall punish the inhabitants thereof for their wickedness, their hard speeches and their rebellions.
Awake! ye saints of the Most High, ye ministers of the sanctuary, ye anointed ones, assert your dignity as servants of God and by faithfulness, diligence, and patience render yourselves worthy the high calling-the authority which has been placed upon your heads, and hast to carry to your fellow mortals, who sit in darkness, the light of the gospel, the blessing of salvation which shall raise them from the ruins of the fall, the degradations of sin, and set them on high, even to be kings and priests to our God and his Christ.
