An Old Friend Has Returned
By Editor
WHEN a dear friend returns after a long absence, how gladly we welcome him! What satisfaction his very presence brings! Perhaps he has helped us over some hard place, or encouraged us in some trial—has, in fact, proved himself “a friend indeed.” Just as gladly do the Sabbath-school officers and teachers welcome the return of the Sabbath School Worker. Its familiar face brings encouragement to all. It was a help in the past, and we have missed it so sadly during its absence that it now seems doubly welcome. We are not disappointed ’on a closer acquaintance either; for although smaller in size than before, it still has just the helpful suggestions, the reports from other schools, the instruction for teachers and officers, which we all need. Its “Helps on the Sabbath-school Lessons” for each week, and for every division of the school, are more valuable than ever, and contain just the information for which every earnest teacher feels the need. The price, too, is so low that all can now afford to have it—35 cents per copy to individual addresses, or 25 cents per copy where two or more copies are sent to one name and address. You will surely need the Worker for 1904.
