How the Work Is Going Forward
It takes work to circulate a million copies of The Signs of the Times, as every one who has had experience with the Capital and Labor number can testify. We are glad to see, however, that there seems to be no objection to this from those employed in the publishing house, nor from those working in the field. As an evidence of this, we note that many of our workers in the publishing house, after putting in extra hours in making the paper and in mailing it, are going out evenings to sell it. But as a still wider evidence of the work required and the interest manifested in this truth-filled number, we will quote from a letter just received from Elder C. McReynolds, president of the Kansas Conference:— “Your communication regarding the Signs work came to hand this evening. I have just returned from a two weeks’ effort to get every one to take part in this work, and in many places the work is moving forward nicely. We have now ordered about twenty thousand copies, and expect that this is hardly half of what we shall use. We have at last four workers in towns that have never been worked with the paper, and where we have no churches. Elder A. R. Ogden, who has just returned from South America, will work all the towns on the Missouri Pacific Railroad from Salina west to the Colorado line, and then back on the Union Pacific to Ellsworth, which is nearly half way across the State on two roads. “W. F. Surber, our former State agent, and W. V. Robb are in the eastern part of the State. They have worked two small cities, and expect to enter the third to-morrow. They will work toward the southern part of the State, covering the towns having no churches in them.” Elder McReynolds then goes on to tell of the organization throughout the State, which he says is to continue during the month of December, and concludes thus:— “I trust the Lord will give us wisdom and power with the people, that from this good beginning the work may be continued, ever increasing in volume till every neighbor has been fully warned, and every city, town, hamlet, and country place has had the light of the special message for to-day.” The circulation of a million copies of the Capital and Labor number of the Signs depends upon just such earnest, energetic, and carefully planned campaigns as this one which Elder McReynolds describes. Shall we not each have a part in it? PACIFIC PRESS.
