AN ENCOURAGING OMEN.

By A. O. Tate

ONE of the most encouraging things in connection with our work at the present time is that many persons are receiving the truth through reading the Signs of the Times. There is scarcely a mail that does not bring us information from some quarter of the world in regard to those who are receiving their first impressions concerning this great threefold message, from the pages of our pioneer missionary paper, and are rejoicing in the great truths that God has for this time.

The Lord has designated the Signs of the Times as a “pioneer” agency in bringing the truth before the world. The plan of circulating the Signs in this “pioneer” way is something also that the Lord has devised, and we should not be surprised that it works so successfully. The large number of persons who are so continuously, and especially during the last few months so rapidly, coming into the truth through reading the Signs, should apprise us that the end of all things is much nearer than we thought, and that our work should be the more earnest and the more faithful.

The question uppermost in every mind now should be, What is it possible for me to do in order that the message of the soon coming of Christ may be quickly carried to all the world? A. O. TATE
