| 192 all these difficulties we have been enabled, by the blessing of heaven, to worry through with one volume, and now propose, commencing the second; and as it has, we trust, passed its infancy, and is now approaching to childhood, we think it all important that it should increase in strength, and vigor, therefore we shall publish it hereafter twice each month, to gratify the request and desire of many of our subscribers who are anxious to learn of the mighty spread of truth oftener than once each month.
The great ascessions [ascensions] making to the church, and the introduction of the benign gospel of peace, into new places, and other nations; also the great demand for publications from every part of America, renders it altogether necessary for us to issue our periodical oftener than formerly. We should be pleased to publish our paper weekly, as we have an abundance of matter for the instruction of the saints, as President Joseph Smith jr. is furnishing us with essays on the glorious subject of the priesthood, also giving us extracts of the new translation to lay before our readers, of the second volume,-but our circumstances will not permit us to publish oftener than twice a month, as we are but a child yet, and you are aware that a child must creep before it can walk, and walk before it can run; so we, having passed our infancy, must content ourselves by walking the coming season, not saying what we will do the following year; but leave that to the destiny of Heaven, and the good will of our friends and the saints.
We shall endeavor to make the second volume as interesting and instructive as possible, not sparing any pains on our part to give, as early as can be, all important information concerning the church at home or abroad. It will contain essays on the following subjects; the gospel, the priesthood and the gathering of Israel. We shall also give a synopsis of the general news of the day.
TERMS: TWO DOLLARS per annum payable in all cases in advance. Any person procuring 10 new subscribers and forwarding us twenty dollars current money, shall receive the eleventh volume gratis. No subscription will be received for a less term than six months, and all letters addressed to the publishers must be POST PAID, or they will not be taken out of the office.
