Sent Out by the Author Without Change.—I
have sent out (postpaid) to brethren in different
States about 150 copies of “Testimony for the
Church.” It can be had by addressing me at Battle
Creek, Michigan. I shall be happy to hear from
those who may receive it. Those who would
encourage the circulation of such matter can do so
by assisting in its publication.—The Review and
Herald, December 18, 1855.
