Birth of a Reformation; Or, The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner

"Ah yes, Brother Warner, it is the Trumpet the devil wants stopped.
You may evangelize all you please, so the Trumpet goes under, and
the devil doesn't care. Do stand by the Trumpet at all hazards."
Of course we know that all such expressions relate to the awful and
offensive truth of God that we give place to in the Trumpet, and
not to any ability we possess to write or conduct a paper. We are
too sorely and constantly pinched by a sense of our own ignorance
to think anything else.
In the November 15 number, under the heading, The Trumpet Will Go On,
we have the following:
God has blessed us with excellent health and strength. Praise his
holy name! We can work without apparent fatigue from 5 A. M. to
11 P. M., and we propose doing so, by the continued help of God.
We feel that the gates of hell can not stop the truth. And if we
can not issue the paper regularly every two weeks, we will issue
as often as we can, and give everybody his or her full number of
papers. The Lord holds us to this work, and he can not forsake us
in the work whereunto he has called us. Let all the readers of the
Trumpet obey the voice of the Spirit of God, and there will be
means both to enlarge and carry on the paper for the glory of God.
Oh, if the God of salvation could but reach some who are blessed
with means and draw out about two hundred dollars it would pay all
the Trumpet debts, get the necessities to enlarge the paper, and
provide a good little stock of paper to start with. We will work,
and pray, and trust, and God and the dear people will provide the
means.
At the beginning of the second year the price of the Trumpet was
raised to one dollar.
For some time before the Trumpet raised to one dollar, nearly
everybody sent us one dollar instead of seventy-five cents.
Thus the Lord has fixed the price, and he will provide for its
enlargement.
The enlargement came with the first issue in February. It was made a
six-column, four pages--15 by 22. In the first issue of the new size
we find the following editorial:
We printed two thousand papers this issue. It is quite a task on
our hand-press; but, praise God, he gives us blessed health and
strength, and we are perfectly satisfied to work on with the means
the Lord has furnished, until he sees proper to give us others.
