The Truth on the Highways
By C. T. Jeffers
A NOTICE signed by the writer appeared in the REVIEW AND HERALD of December 17, last, stating that large quantities of our late English publications were wanted at Fruithurst, Ala. A liberal response was made to the request. Among others an elderly sister in Michigan sent a fifty-pound box, and wrote a letter from which the following extract is taken:— “I noticed in the REVIEW AND HERALD of December 17, that large quantities of all our English publications were wanted at Fruithurst, Ala., and I hasten to send a supply that the church at —— has given me to distribute. I love this precious cause, and mean to do all I can to hasten the coming of the Lord in this generation. I am seventy-five years old, yet I hope to see my Saviour coming in the clouds of heaven.” Thinking that perhaps those who responded so liberally would be interested in knowing what disposition was made of the literature they had sent, I will make a brief statement in regard to it. I live at the junction of two well-traveled roads, and I have put up a sort of rack by the side of each road, with an invitation to all to help themselves painted on each rack. I keep the racks filled with the papers. I put one copy each of the REVIEW AND HERALD, Signs of the Times, and Southern Watchman, and some tracts in a snug roll, and tie securely. Scarcely any one passes without taking a roll. The people seem hungry for the printed matter, and are interested in what it contains. My supply is fast diminishing. I will keep the racks filled as long as I am supplied. The field is large, and very many have never heard of the third angel’s message, and have but a vague idea of the near coming of the Lord. So, brethren and sisters, send papers and tracts that treat20on the Sabbath question, the near coming of the Lord, health and temperance reform, in fact, any and all the literature concerning the truth that you may have to spare, and let your prayers go with this reading matter, and I will put it in the hands of many people. It may be God will bless this work, and some souls will find the truth by this means. Address C. T. Jeffers, R. F. D. No. 1, Fruithurst, Ala.
