THE SPREADING INFLUENCE.
By J. B. Greenwood
A BROTHER, writing from one of our Southern cities, says: “I came here seven months ago. At that time there were no Sabbath-keepers here, but some brethren and sisters have moved in since. Much efficient work has been done with the Signs of the Times, and other publications have also been used. Several persons have come into the truth, and others are interested. I came into the truth six years ago, through reading some old copies of the REVIEW AND HERALD.” This suggests a field in which all can work for the furtherance of the cause of God,—the salvation of souls. You may not be able to preach or canvass, or go away from home to labor; but you can use the “silent messengers,” which, prepared and distributed in the spirit of Christ for the upbuilding of his kingdom, will do a mighty work. See the work accomplished,—a few old REVIEWS came to this brother; he was led to accept and rejoice in the light of truth; then he went to work for others; and through the same means—the circulation of literature—he brings the light of truth to them, so that from the distribution of a few papers a grand result comes. If all who have an interest in God’s cause would go to work, right now, and right where they are, scattering the printed page, what a work would be wrought! Many are doing this, using the Signs of the Times as a “pioneer,” and the Lord is greatly blessing the efforts put forth. Do you wish a part in the blessing that comes from working together with Christ? Write to the brethren at the Signs office for suggestions in regard to the use of this paper; and keep on hand a supply of literature to use in bringing the light of truth to your friends and neighbors, and watch for opportunities to use it.
