Proclamation

We beg leave to call the particular attention of the Saints to the proclamation of the First Presidency, which occupies a considerable portion of this number, and is a document of considerable interest to the church at large, and we hope that it will not only be received with pleasure, but that the instructions

which are communicated, will be cheerfully attended to.

In order that the great work of the last days may be accomplished, it is necessary, and all important, that the energies and talents of the Saints be concentrated on that object, and if so, they can with confidence expect the blessings of heaven to rest upon them, "the labors of their hands will be established," and peace and glory will rest upon Israel.

Let the Saints make the cause of truth their first great object, hold themselves in readiness to advocate the interests of the kingdom, and assist those, who are placed in authority in the church of Christ-lift up their hands-second their efforts, and unitedly engage in a work so great, glorious, and sublime.
