Publication notice on gospel truth and the press
A reader argues that reliance on newspaper articles obstructs enquiry and that true gospel truth should be directly accessible. The writer laments the current system, urges abolition of articles, and calls for a youth with a good pen to prove the existence of an establishment without a 24 and a science without a bond or center of union, bidding brethren farewell.
