Missionary Workers.

By Editor

IT is a matter of great importance that our missionary workers in all the societies, improve every opportunity to learn how to write good letters. This is a talent to be cultivated; just as any other work is perfected by education and practice. We say they should learn how, for a good-spirited, well-written letter is more likely to bring a response than one of the opposite character. And it is very important that letters be written to those to whom the SIGNS is sent. We think there must be a failure with many in this respect, as the office receives a large number of postmaster's cards, notifying us that the papers sent to the persons named refuse to take them out of the office. Of course the information is of no avail, for we cannot know by whom they are sent. A brief note of explanation to the person himself might induce him to take and read them.
