SOME time ago while Brother R. D. Brisbin, of India, was out distributing vernacular literature with some other missionaries in a near-by village, he met an Indian to whom Brother L. J. Burgess, now in Bengal, had given an Urdu booklet explaining the prophecy of Daniel. This man had read the book, and then passed it on to his brother, who is now in the northern part of China. The one who first received it was anxious for more literature, and was glad to talk over what he had learned from reading the booklet. “It may not appear a very singular incident,” Brother Brisbin says, “but it impressed me with the way the message is penetrating the most out-of-the-way places of the earth.”

ONE of the workers in India writes: “A sermon in England, a few tracts, and more tracts in response to a letter written after he had reached India, led a private of the Territorial forces to the truth. He has purchased about $25 worth of our large books, subscribed for the REVIEW AND HERALD, Signs of the Times (weekly), and three more of our papers; and at the time this letter is being written, he is monthly distributing fifty copies of the Signs of the Times Special (corresponding to the REVIEW AND HERALD Extras) in his regiment, besides other campaign literature. He is also corresponding with his family in England, and his brother has accepted the faith of the soon coming Saviour.”
