A Postmaster Sells the "Signs"

By E. R. P.

A LETTER from Brother G. C. Hoskin, circulation manager of the Signs of the Times Monthly, quotes the following interesting incidents from a letter received from one of their colporteurs:—

“While I was canvassing one day, a gentleman bought six copies of the Signs. In a few minutes he passed me again and handed me a dollar, saying, as he did so: ‘Give ten of those magazines to ten people for me, for I want to help on such a good work.’

“I sold a magazine to a postmaster, and he went into his office to read it, but soon came to me for another copy, saying that a friend who came in wanted the one he had. I sold him another, and later he came for a third copy. I asked him if he would like to have more than one, and he took seven, and sold them in less than thirty minutes. It seems as if we have only to stand and see the power of God when we are engaged in his work.

“I pray that the Lord will send forth more workers, for the harvest truly is great. Why do we hesitate to enter such a blessed service?”

Brother Hoskin further writes that the November circulation of the Signs magazine was 9,000 copies above the corresponding month of last year.
