A WORD TO ALL THE READERS OF THIS PAPER.
This is the second effort to print those things in
a paper we felt the people needed. The first effort we
continued till thirteen numbers were printed at a cost
of say three hundred and sixty dollars, larqgly paid by
ourselves. Now we have twelve who have entered with
us to pay twelve dollars each to start it again. Their
names are as follows: W. W. Bulla, I. C. Sultz, George
Sultz, Mrs. Bird Rupert, Mrs. Annie Fravill, Miss
Luceil Rupert, Mrs. Laurretta Pennington, Mr. Peter
Hatfner, Adolph Schenk. There are others we feel
sure will do the same.
others join in this burden the paper will be compelled
to stop again. Who can read this number and say the
things in it do not cause a desire in them to do all they
can to aid such a paper that will bring the very truths
to the people now needed? Now if you can’t give
twelve dollars paying it say quarterly, then do what
you can. Pay a dollar for your subscription price.
Take a number of copies to distribute. Obtain sub-
scribers. We have opened an account in the bank in
the name of the paper and all money received for don-
ation to help its publication will be placed there to be
used for no other purpose. We surely rejoice to know
the appreciation of the people who have read the form-
er issues. We have much more to say. All who get a
sample copy send in your subscription at once and get
all you can to subscribe. We promise that each num-
ber will be fille with Bible teaching. We wish you
could each read the letters received at this office from
our readers, and was it not that the space is so prec-
ious in giving the truths of the Bible we would be glad
to publish them for you to read. Don’t worry as to the
success of this teaching, for it is sure to succeed. For
fourteen years we have been at it and believers here
and there are scattered in many places. There are plen-
ty of believers to publish the paper and then some, but
being so scattered we fail to gain that touch needed in
such work. Our policy in the printing of the paper
will not be to oppose any denomination or individual
personally, for our very makeup is to love and treat all
men kindly and win them to Christ but we shall feel
free to expose any false doctrine when we know it re-
gardless of any person or denomination that may advo-
cate it, without respect to who it may be. Now is your
opportunity to come up to the help of the Lord against
the mighty. Cast your lot with us in this work of
helping others.

REPORT OF LABOR.
Our last issue of the paper was May last. Since
that time we have been working as our health would
permit. Our health was poor from the effect of la

grip the winter before till October, when we began to
gain flesh. No sooner was we in shape to work, than
a call came from the extreme western part of Kansas.
We thought we saw the Lord’s hand in the call, so we
went at once. We remained there a month, and the
result was a nice company of believers was raised up.
Six was baptized and a good number began the Chris-
tian life by faith and obedience. Elder I. C. Sultz was
set apart to the ministry of the Gospel. . He and his
wife, his brother and family who now lives at that point
were converts to the faith by our labors twenty years
ago. On this trip we were taken seventy miles south-
west into Colorado to see others who were also converts
of our labor twenty-five years ago. We hear from
Elder Sultz saying the company at Hartland are grow-
ing. ‘He sent in quite a few names for the paper.
Brother Sultz is now one of the laborers for the things
taught by us in the paper and books. Taking the
whole scriptures as his great teacher. On our return
from this trip we visited the western portion of Okla-
homa where several desire to know more of the truth
we teach. This was at Omega. where a firm settle-
ment of Sabbath keepers live. Much prejudice exists
but some attended our meetings and we have faith to
believe good will result from the visit. During last
summer we started out with an auto to visit towns and
lecture but our health would not permit such work
then. This summer we hope to try it again. Elder
Sultz has planned some to go with us and we take our
wives, forming a company.
We have baptized five at Britton since reporting.
Also visited Dale, and McCloud, Oklahoma, and did
some labor. Last month we held a discussion in Okla-
homa City with one Elder C. P. Whitaker from south
He has held forty debates.
Ie represented the Russel movement. The proposi-
tions were: Frst, the scriptures teach that the Laws
given by the Lord through Moses were for the Jews
and not for the Gentiles, Whitaker affirmed, we denied.
Second, the laws given at Sinai were for the purpose of
teaching all people both in civil and moral principles
of life and also to teach all people how they might be
saved through the atoning blood ef Christ, affirmed,
G. G. Rupert, Whitaker denied. Ifour sessions were
devoted to these questions of two hours each, divided
into speeches of thirty minutes each.
The next two propositions were: First, the seript-
ures teach that the second coming of Christ will be
followed by a reign of Christ of one thousand years,
during which time all the dead will be resurrected and
given a knowledge of the truth, and a chance to gain
eternal life, Whitaker affirmed, I denied. Second, the
scriptures teach that the second coming of Christ will
be visable and seen by all the world. At his coming
the dead righteous will be resuirected and the living
wicked will be destroyed by the brightness of his com-
ing and then the earth would be desolate during the
one thousand years to follow.. Affirmed by Rupert,
denied by Whitaker. The last two propositions were
to take two sessions of two hours each. At the close
of the first four sessions Mr. Whitaker requested that
the debate end as he was needed badly at home and
other work promising to return in the summer and
wake longer time. We stated we were sorry to have it
end but if he requested it we would consent. The dis-
cussion was held two nights in a fine hall on fifth
street but the hall being occupied for the next two
nights the Seventh Day Adventist church was rented.
The meetings were attended we judge by from three
to five hundred. Each session was listened to with
the best of interest. All expressing a disappointment
in it not continuing. The best of kind feeling was en-
joyed by all. The speakers binding themselves not to
engage in personalities, slang or funmaking. We can
say the audience was made up of intelligent people who
