Bringing Answers

ONE discouraging feature in connection with our church missionary work in past years was that of not receiving many replies to letters sent with our papers. We were left to work along on faith, with few to write and tell us they were glad to get the papers and that they wanted more. But this lack is diminishing of late, especially when the Present Truth Series is used in missionary work. This missionary paper brings replies. Perhaps it is the one-topic plan that helps the people to reach a conclusion and deepens their interest. At any rate, the series brings replies to letters. Many of our local church workers recognize this fact, and mention it in their letters, something similar to the following extract:—

“As I am but a new convert, I am quite ignorant, but through the Present Truth Series God has given me a work to do that I otherwise could not do, as I have a family, and my first duty is at home. But I can send the Extras through the mail, and am getting many encouraging answers. I am in this way able to present the truth in many homes where I know there are Bible students who are uninformed as to the real truth. But for these little papers I should be almost a drone; but with these at a low cost, it does not seem that any Seventh-day Adventist has a reasonable excuse for not being an active agent for the Master.”
