Experiences in Australia

Patience Rewarded

An old lady, who for several years has been selling and distributing the Signs around her neighborhood, has lately had an experience that has encouraged and strengthened her. She was just about to give up her Signs work because no one seemed to manifest any interest in the papers, although the people bought them week by week. One very hot day she decided that she would go out on a canvassing trip just once more. When she reached one place where the people had always appeared very indifferent, she found a change. The lady informed her that she had read of the true Sabbath in the Signs, and that she had started to keep it. She was also interested in the health reform and other points of our faith.

More “Signs” Experiences

A family in Pinnaroo, Australia, makes a practise of putting the Signs in the traps and carts of the farmers who come into the town on Saturday afternoons to do their shopping. Several persons have expressed their appreciation of the paper, and one man showed his gratitude in a practical way, by giving his subscription for twelve months, and ordering some health foods. Another farmer is subscribing for three months; and a Methodist local preacher in the same town said that he was glad to get the Signs, as he liked the reading-matter which the paper contains.
