MISSIONARY WORK.

THE secretary of the V. M. Society in Belvidere, Boone Co., Ill., has sent us a number of responses from those who have received the SIGNS. A card from Oswego, Kansas, says: "I love to read them, and will be happy to have you send more of them to me."
A letter from Boscobel, Canada, P. Q., says: "About a year ago I received from you a postal card and some papers which were very interesting to me, and I beg to apologize for not answering your card. Accept my thanks for your kindness, and if you have any more of those papers I would be exceedingly glad if you would send them."
A lady in Warrensburg, Ill., writes: "I take great pleasure in reading the papers which you were so kind as to send me. I find much truth in their columns, and I feel glad that a few are endeavoring to live up to and follow the counsel of that great book the Bible. I would like very much to have you send me the papers, and hope soon I may be able to subscribe for it."
From Gibson's Station, Guernsey Co., Ohio, a lady writes; "Thanks to you for the papers you send me. I will read all you send me, and also let my neighbors read them."
Another from Ashkum, Iroquois Co., Ill., says: "I am very thankful for the paper, and think it teaches the truth; I have read every one, and let a lady friend take them to read."
A gentleman writes from New Orleans: "I should be very happy to receive your paper which I like very much."
A letter from Sheffield, England, says: "You will be pleased to learn that after I have read the SIGNS OF THE TIMES I send them around a district and they are received very gladly; they are very interesting and edifying." And later the same person writes; "Have received more papers and your letter, our prayers go up together for a blessing upon the papers circulated."
A lady in London writes. "I take the opportunity to write to you to thank you for sending me the papers, which I have read, and I thank God that I have been benefited by doing so. I should be most happy to receive more. I like them very much, and think it a great pity that they are not more known and read in England."
From Cliftonville, Miss., a lady writes: "I have received the papers you were so kind as to send me, and appreciate your kindness more than words can express. I was going to write to the editor of the paper to get your address so that I might write and thank you for them. I read and enjoy the papers very much, and think they are calculated to do a great deal of good. We think they are so good and instructive that after we have finished reading them my sister forwards them to a gentleman friend in Columbus, Miss." Another letter has been received by the same worker from this young lady:-a very cordial and friendly one, calculated to cheer the heart of the missionary.
A lady in Edinburgh expresses much thankfulness for the papers; says she likes to read them very much.
Among these letters is one from Pacific Garden Mission, corner Clark and Van Buren streets, Chicago. We can testify from personal observation of the good work being done at this Mission. God bless these laborers for the poor and the friendless. We invite our friends who may visit Chicago, to visit this mission. Meetings every evening.
