For the Asking

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D.C. · Feb 16, 1905

WHEN the Open Letter, “An Appeal to Clergy,” appeared in the Washington Post, there were a number of the laymen in different parts of the country who were watching for opportunities; and they at once sent for sample copies of the Post, and took them to editors of city and county papers who may not have had their special attention called to this Open Letter in any other way, and asked them to reprint it in their papers, which was cheerfully done. Through this prompt watchfulness on the part of those who are carrying the love of the message continually on their hearts—

“An Appeal to Clergy”

has been printed in a large number of the best newspapers in the United States. This has not spoiled the demand for the tract containing this appeal, as is demonstrated by the growing demand for it. Though it was announced only on the nineteenth of January, 200,000 copies have been ordered, and ere the nineteenth of February, which will mark the first month of its existence, a much larger number will have been ordered.

There are many demands at the doors of the rank and file of our people at the present time, which should be an evidence to them of their acceptance of heaven as messengers of the kingdom, but the present opportunity offered in “An Appeal to Clergy” should not be neglected by a single individual who has received a commission to stand in the breach made in God’s law. Individuals, churches, and conferences should literally sow this tract at this time; do it promptly and quickly, and be ready for the next, which is sure to follow through work of this kind.

The tract is cheap in price, but not in the quality of the matter it contains. The expressions of appreciation coming with repeated orders would very much emphasize this statement; but the whole of this issue of the REVIEW could not contain them.

40 cents a hundred; $3.75 a thousand.
