Encouraging Reports on Magazine Circulation
A SUBSCRIBER sending in subscription: “I am certainly pleased to see the excellent material in the Protestant Magazine.” A GENTLEMAN sending $2.00 for three years’ subscription, says: “The people are getting awake in Birmingham, Ala., and our hope is that the Protestant Magazine will continue until America is forever Protestant.” A GENTLEMAN orders Liberty, and says: “I have just noticed a copy at the office of one of my friends here, but do not wish him to be deprived of his copy while I read it, so am sending for the magazine that I may have it, also to help the work along that much.” ILLUSTRATIVE of the possibilities in the circulation of the REVIEW Extras, is the work being done by a small church in Rutland, Vt. This church bought 10,000 Eastern Question Extras. In distributing 4,000 of this order, they collected $50, and still have 6,000 papers to work on. They allow the people to make any donation they feel free to give the worker as the papers are given out. Many of our churches ought to be engaged in a similar effort. These are golden days for the circulation of the Eastern Question Extra, in which is the core of the message for this special time. THE one-topic-periodical plan adopted by the Present Truth Series in presenting the message, is proving very successful. The issues thus far published, and sent out with a letter by our church missionary society, are bringing more responses than any other literature used. The Takoma Park church missionary society recently sent a copy of No. 3 to a person in Virginia. He lent it to a few neighbors. So many wanted the copy, that he ordered one hundred, and afterwards wrote that all the people in the neighborhood were reading that issue, studying the Bible, and discussing the prophecies of the second chapter of Daniel, and that many were deciding that the little paper was right. No. 4 of this series gives “The Coming of the Lord.” No. 5, which will appear next month, will present the theme “The Signs of the Times.”
