One Thousand Agents Wanted

By Editor

To sell the great World's Missions double number of the Signs of the Times in all the large cities of the country. The work can easily be made self-supporting. Two conferences have already ordered ten thousand copies each to start with. One young man in the East, the son of one of our ministers, has become so enthusiastic that he places a definite order for 2,000, and asks for a price on 15,000. He feels sure that he can dispose of that number easily.

A sister in Spokane, Wash., is selling 400 copies weekly of the regular issue. Others in Los Angeles, Cal., are doing the same. No doubt others feeling a burden for the work would do equally well in all the large cities of our country. Our sisters seem to be especially blessed in taking up this work.

The Signs of the Times is our pioneer paper, and is especially adapted to the work of giving the last warning message to the world.

The World's Missions number is particularly adapted to sell on the street and from house to house. It is beautifully and appropriately illustrated, and the subjects are striking. The whole number is fairly bristling with facts, figures, and interesting information, together with the strongest appeals ever made to finish the work in this generation.

Seventh-day Adventists have been accused of being a denomination of proselytizers, but the table of statistics in the Missions number will show that our people are doing much more per capita than any other denomination, both in the matter of donations and in the sending of missionaries abroad. The figures will surprise even our own people, and astonish

the world. However, we have nothing of which to boast. In view of what we profess, we are not doing a tithe of what we ought to do. Every man, woman, and child should be encouraged to do something. It means a revival in all our churches, also the giving of the truth to thousands of those not of our faith.

A copy of this paper ought to be placed in the hands of every family in the land, and in our large cities it should be sold by the thousands. It will do more to help set our people right before the world than anything we have ever issued, and will also do more to awaken an interest in foreign missions than anything we have ever published.

The members of the Young People's Society of Mountain View have subscribed for over 2,000 copies, and they propose to donate the profits on the sales to missions. We have no doubt but that other societies will adopt the same plan.

It is hoped that this campaign in behalf of the Missions number of the Signs of the Times and the 24 special numbers to follow will be the strongest and most enthusiastic that we have ever entered upon. The times certainly demand earnest action. Everything goes to show that we are already in the loud cry of the third angel's message, and now, as stated in the heading of this article, we want one thousand agents to take up the sale of the Missions number of the Signs of the Times in our large cities. Who will respond?

Orders can be filled promptly. The sale can continue until after Christmas. For terms, outfit, etc., address your State tract society, or Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Cal.
