North Carolina

By D. T. SHIREMAN

BAKER'S MOUNTAIN, HICKORY.—I have just returned from visiting some of our near-by towns, where I have been selling our monthly magazines, the Signs, Watchman, Life and Health, and others. I placed nearly fifteen hundred of these in the homes of the people, selling them in the interests of our orphans' home at Baker's Mountain, Hickory, N. C. We hope these truth-filled papers will be read, resulting in much good.

We tried to impress upon those who bought them that the reading-matter was important for our time. Most of the papers were back numbers, but the reading-matter is just as valuable as if printed to-day. The date of the magazine made no difference to the people. We trust that through this work many will become interested in the message contained in this literature.

This is a field of work which is open to many. I believe our young people especially should scatter the seeds of truth in this way. There are many places in which this message may be hastened by writing letters and sending out our good papers. At one time I advertised through the REVIEW and the Signs for the addresses of persons desiring to carry on missionary correspondence with others, and received two hundred thirty responses. Twelve hundred names were sent to these individuals, and as a result of the work done many accepted the truth.

I speak this in the hope that the experience may encourage others to enter this worthy field of missionary effort, and thus have a part in the closing work of the message. D. T. SHIREMAN.
