NOTICES AND APPOINTMENTS

A Good Response

The past few weeks have been busy ones in the periodical department of the Pacific Press. Additional clerks were required to help handle the 17,605 new subscriptions to the Signs of the Times received since the missionary campaign started. And still they come. Not in years has the Signs list been so large as now—nearly 40,000.

The response to the “Two copies per member” suggestion of the North American Division Conference came from every quarter. Figures are sometimes tiresome, but we risk submitting the following, which show the number of subscriptions from each union conference up to November 24:—

Lake Union Conference .......... 3,128 Pacific Union Conference ...... 2,727 Columbia Union Conference ...... 2,525 Central Union Conference ........ 1,872 North Pacific Union Conference . 1,869 Northern Union Conference ...... 1,497 Southwestern Union Conference... 1,101 Atlantic Union Conference ...... 1,054 Southeastern Union Conference... 876 Southern Union Conference ...... 417 Canadian Union Conference ...... 296 Western Canadian Union Conf..... 243 Total ......................... 17,605

Nor do these figures tell the whole story. Results infinitely more important are known of God. Through reading the Signs, hearts have been subdued, minds influenced, and scores have been won to the truth. For our encouragement, no doubt, the Master frequently permits us to learn of such cases.

One of our ministers says: “At present I am using ten copies of the Signs every week, but I could use a great many more in house-to-house work, which I follow up with Bible studies. Right now especially I believe it is very important that we get these papers into as many homes as possible.”
