Prosperity of the Southern Publishing Association

By Editor

A RECENT letter from R. L. Pierce, general manager of the Southern Publishing Association, tells us that during 1915 over half a million copies of the Watchman were sold, practically double the number sold during 1914. Of the general prosperity which attended the work of the association, Brother Pierce says: “During the year, with the Lord’s blessing, we were able to reduce our bills payable account about $11,000, which is considerably better than we dared hope under the circumstances. Besides, we have been obliged to make some necessary repairs and improvements, so that altogether we feel very thankful for the way in which the Lord has blessed our work.” We are indeed thankful for the prosperity that has attended our sister publishing house. The work is one throughout the whole field, and we rejoice quite as much in the prosperity of the work represented by our brethren as in that with which we are directly connected. How institutional and conference lines have faded out during the last few years in the history of this movement! We are coming to recognize that the world is our parish, and that we are brethren, laboring together for one end and one purpose, and that is the accomplishment of the world-wide work. Let us forever keep selfish, sectional prejudice out of our hearts and lives.
