The campaign in behalf of the "Home Bible Study Series" of the Signs of the Times promises to be one of the most enthusiastic and successful ever inaugurated.

Nearly every conference in the United States and Canada approves of the plan, and promises hearty co-operation.

Here are extracts from two letters which only voice the sentiments of many others.

From Elder B. F. Kneeland, president of the New Jersey Conference:—

“With reference to the ‘Home Bible Study Series’ of the Signs of the Times, will say that I believe the plan to be a most excellent one, and can pledge the hearty co-operation of our people to this work, for I know them pretty well. I shall immediately take steps to arrange for a systematic canvass of our churches in behalf of this movement, enlisting the efforts of our conference workers and church officers. I am convinced that the problem of reaching the people in our great cities will be solved largely through the use of up-to-date papers and magazines. . . . I believe you are working along right lines, and we will stand by you in this effort. I am glad to see the Signs so wide-awake to the needs of the field, and you can count on us to do all we can to help push the work along in this conference.”

From Elder W. H. Heckman, president of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference:—

“Letters and circular matter have been sent from this office to every church, with the earnest request that they take hold of this campaign, and make it a grand success. I sincerely hope they will do so.”

The plan was presented to the church at Mountain View, Cal., a short time ago, and subscriptions were taken for over seven hundred copies of the series; several subscribing for twenty-five.

This series consists of twenty-five special numbers of the Signs of the Times weekly, and is to begin Oct. 6, 1909, continuing six months. During this time the most important points of the message will be taken up and discussed in about the same way that they would be in a series of tent-meetings. It is hoped that every Seventh-day Adventist will have a part in this good work. Here is a splendid opportunity to present the truth to your friends and neighbors.

Subscription prices are as follows:—

The series of 25 numbers to one name and address ............................ $ .75

5 or more copies of this series of 25 numbers mailed direct from the office of publication, to names and addresses furnished, each ................. .60
