Encouraging Periodical Circulation Report

BROTHER A. J. S. BOURDEAU, the manager of our Periodical department, reports that the sales for Liberty from April 1, 1906, to August 1, 1909, covering fourteen issues, amount to six hundred ninety-five thousand copies, an average of nearly fifty thousand copies an issue. One lady agent has just sent in an order for over three thousand copies for her personal use. During the last three months ten thousand subscriptions have been received for the Protestant Magazine, besides the sales of agents. During the year 1908 the Review and Herald Publishing Association circulated a grand total of 3,153,098 copies of its five periodicals. This splendid result has been accomplished through the blessing of the Lord by the earnest efforts of our department of circulation, and our faithful brethren and sisters in the field. This is an encouraging showing, but how much more the great needs of the field demand for the future! While we are thankful for what the Lord has enabled us to accomplish, may we seek to enlarge the scope of our operations in the months to come. This may be done in a large degree if all his people will respond to the call of the present hour in rendering to the Lord of the harvest the service which is his due. The appeal for service is not in what has been done, but in what still needs to be accomplished.
