The Special Watchman in Texas
By R. L. Routt
As the Lord has been and is now blessing us in the sale of the Signs number of The Southern Watchman, and as we know that in order for him to continue so doing we must be a blessing to others, I take pleasure in writing some of our experiences, with the hope that others who believe that the Lord will soon come may receive the same kind of blessing that we have by telling perishing souls of his coming and the end of the age. I have been in Nacogdoches four weeks, working with the Watchman, and the Lord has wonderfully blessed me in my efforts. Souls have been warned; some have accepted the truth for this time; others are deeply interested in the truth. My dear brethren, it is not the will of our Lord to leave this special number of the Watchman on the shelves of our tract societies and the publishing house; but God wants us to “arise and shine,” and circulate this paper. It should be in the hands of every man and woman in the world. The truth it contains must go to all the world before the Lord comes. You and I will never enjoy the beauties of the new earth until this message goes to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. May God impress us with the importance of getting this truth before the people, and thus hasten his coming and the end of the world. The Lord has blessed us in the sale of this paper. We are now on our third thousand, which we hope to sell soon. My wife and sister were in New Orleans, and sold five hundred there. The Lord was with them. We have yet seven thousand, which we hope to sell before fall.
