Was Kindly Given

By A. O. Tait

We are just in receipt of a letter at the Signs office from a brother who requests us to send the Signs for six months to an address which he gives. He states that this six months' subscription was received by “kindly giving away one of the Earthquake Specials.”

We are receiving numerous subscriptions to the Signs from persons who have become interested in the paper through some of the special numbers that have been handed to them by friends, and on a recent Sabbath Elder Corliss baptized three persons into one of our California churches, who received their first impressions in regard to the truth from some of the earlier numbers of the Earthquake Specials that were sent out. While I am writing this note, two of these persons, an intelligent-looking man and his wife, who thus received the truth, are sitting with Brother Hall at his desk, making arrangements with him to enter actively into some line of our work.

Results are following our work that should encourage us, and the urgent appeals that are being made through the spirit of prophecy to work our large cities right now, should receive the careful consideration of all our people. There is no better medium for working these large cities than The Signs of the Times, and the results that are attending its circulation should encourage every one of us to press into this work with earnestness.

The undersigned is always glad to correspond with any of our people who are interested in taking up work with The Signs of the Times, or who would be glad to know more about how to do this work.

A. O. TAIT.
