Circulating the Religious Liberty Number
By Editor
There is no good reason why a few hundred thousand Special SIGNS should interfere with the liberal circulation of the Religious Liberty Number of the Watchman, of Nashville, Tenn. A real live understanding of what these things mean would cause a directly reverse result. The population of the United States is more than eighty million. What is a million copies of any paper among so many? Just now there is no issue that demands more attention than religious liberty. Every paper we publish ought to circulate hundreds of thousands every week—each stimulating the work of the others. The full capacity of every one of our publishing houses would fail to circulate the message as it should be carried to the needy world. There are said to be nine million people in the Watchman's special territory—the field it was especially started to occupy. When we have all done to our present limit, we can still say, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.”
