TITHINGS AND CONSECRATIONS
FOR THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD.
From this time, the Recorder's office will be opened on Saturday of each week for the reception of the Tithings and consecrations of the brethren, and closed on every other day in the week. This regulation is necessary, to give the Trustee and Recorder time to arrange the Book of Mormon, New Translation of the Bible, Hymn Book, and Doctrine and Covenants for the press; all of which the brethren are anxious to see, in their most perfect form; consequently, they will be particular to bring their offerings on the day specified until further notice, but not relax their exertions to carry on the work.
The Elders will please give the above notice in all public meetings, until the plan is understood.
W. RICHARDS, Recorder,
for the Temple.
Nauvoo, Jan. 12, 1842.
