“The Church Is Growing”

By A. O. Tait

ONE of our brethren, in ordering his club of twenty-five Signs renewed, says:—

“Our work in this place is encouraging. The church is growing in numbers and spirituality. The interest is widening, and new faces are seen in the congregation almost every Sabbath.”

There is not a very large church at the place from which this brother writes, and still they are taking a club of twenty-five copies of the Signs, and are distributing them from week to week. Please observe that as a result of work of this character they have a “growing” church, that their “spirituality” is increasing, and that “new faces are seen in the congregation almost every Sabbath.”

Are not the foregoing facts suggestive to many of our other churches? Are you taking a club of the Signs in your church? Are you circulating them from week to week? Is your membership increasing? and are you growing in spirituality? If not, the fact is certainly due to your inactivity and negligence in this work.

If these paragraphs appeal to you, the undersigned would be glad to correspond with you concerning work with the Signs in your locality. Address in care of Pacific Press Publishing Co., Mountain View, Cal. A. O. TAIT.
