Notes on the Watchman

Notes

A MAN in Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “January 12 a man asked me to buy a book [magazine] of him. I told him my wife had just died, and that I did not have any money. The man sympathized with me more than any of my friends, and spoke about God, telling me to look at things in the right light. Please tell him for me that I will remember all he said, and would like to hear from him. I met him on Bedford Avenue as I was coming out of an undertaker’s shop. I went and got ten cents, and bought one of your books which he was selling. I am indeed glad that I got it to read. Hoping to hear from that good man some day, I am,” etc.

WE are indebted to Brother D. K. Royer, circulation manager of the Watchman, for the following interesting items:—

“Yesterday I called at an office where I had sold a November Watchman. A young man was at the desk. I asked him how he liked the previous number sold him. He said it was fine, and took a copy, asking me who published it. ‘My boss picked it up,’ said he, ‘and remarked, “This is the only magazine I ever saw that was worth reading.”’”

“I have a copy of the Watchman, which if I have read through once, I have read through thrice. I find it very helpful, and have gained from it many lessons and illustrations which help me in addressing my congregation—Christian, heathen, and Mohammedan.”
