Notes of Progress

THE church institutes being held by Brethren J. R. Ferren and Ernest Lloyd in Southern California have resulted in stirring up the missionary zeal of our German and Scandinavian brethren and sisters. Several clubs of our German magazine, Die Zeichen der Zeit (Signs of the Times), were subscribed for, as well as large clubs of the weekly Signs of the Times.
A number of our active tract society secretaries are improving their opportunities to obtain some actual experience in the sale of our ten-cent magazines. Brother G. C. Hoskin, secretary of the Iowa Tract Society, writes: “I went out last week for a little experience, and canvassed something over four hours Monday, selling over fifty magazines. I expect to go again next Monday. One of our workers orders 1,500 copies of the Signs of the Times Monthly and 500 of Life and Health for June. Iowa is reaching the top notch in magazine sales these days, our report for April showing nearly 10,000 copies sold. Our conference claims the honor of having appointed the first periodical field agent.” Knowledge based upon personal experience is the greatest element in leadership.
