Our Paper.

By Editor

THERE will be no paper issued from the SIGNS office July 5. No. 26 will be dated July 12.
SEE the brief notice of the meeting in San Jose. Pray for its success.
BY the time our next paper goes into the mail a new time-table will be adopted by the railroads, which will take the SIGNS to the eastern States a full day sooner than at present. We are glad of it, and so will be our friends east of the mountains.
WE have been asked if the stitching of the SIGNS cannot be improved. Not with our present method. We are not satisfied with it, but cannot better it at present. The trustees have the matter under consideration, and will make changes as soon as consistent. It is intended to employ a folder and paster in due time; but none of our readers can imagine the amount and expense of the changes necessary to effect that.
WE have not said how fast our list is increasing, nor given the number of papers which we have printed for weeks past. But we are highly encouraged, not so much with the prosperity of the office as with the knowledge that the people are willing to read. We have the most convincing evidences that a great change is coming over the minds of the people throughout the country. The Lord is, in his providence, preparing the way for a mighty work to be done in the cause of present truth. And who knows how soon? And who will have a part in the work?
As home is dearest to the weary feet, So none but workers know that rest is sweet.
ALL individuals who are canvassing for the SIGNS, and securing trial subscriptions for one month, should send the names to their State Secretary. By so doing, two things will be gained: The Eastern subscriber will receive his paper sooner, as the State Secretaries have clubs of SIGNS for this purpose, and much inconvenience will be spared to the office of publication. Persons canvassing in California should send names to Alice Morrison, Pacific Press, Oakland.
