Shaking Hands

By Editor

THE readers of the REVIEW, and some who confess they are not REVIEW readers, are, upon their own initiative, “shaking hands,” by letter, with the circulator of the Present Truth Series as an expression of their appreciation of the plan to send a full set of the Present Truth Series to relatives and friends, beginning September 1.

“The Best Yet”

Our people intuitively exclaim as this plan is made known to them, “That is the best yet.” Many began at once to make up lists and to send them in. Some have sent in as many as forty names. Others are delaying, thinking they have plenty of time, but all should remember this special list positively closes September 1.

The Plan

A special world-wide effort is to be made for our relatives and friends, beginning Sept. 1, 1916, and ending March 1, 1917. In this effort a full set of the Present Truth Series is to be sent to these relatives and friends. The publishers will mail a copy each week, beginning with No. 1, on September 1, and continuing for six months, or until March 1 of next year, when twenty-four numbers in all will have been sent. These twenty-four numbers present the most essential features of the message in the order best suited to the subjects, and in a way to prevent confusion and lead to conviction.
While this series is being sent, our people, knowing each week just what their relatives are reading, can intelligently write to and pray for them personally, and the churches in their weekly prayer meetings may pray for those dear ones who are reading the message given in the series. While considering some of the subjects, the prayers of the churches and the pleading of personal friends will be needed to enlighten the mind, and to stay the powers of darkness.
This plan faithfully worked will bring great rejoicing to thousands of our members through relatives and friends accepting the truth, and will bring the blessing of Heaven upon those taking part in it. Now is the time to send in the subscriptions for the September list.
