Cast Thy Bread Upon the Waters
By H. H. Hall
The following is quoted from a letter just received from a lady in a large Eastern city:— “Editor of Signs of the Times. “Dear Sir: I found a copy of The Signs of the Times yesterday while I was out walking. It was soiled with mud, but I took it home, and read it carefully. It was dated Sept. 10, 1902. I am much interested in the article on the coming of the Lord which it contains. I never read anything like it before, and it was a great joy to me indeed. I would like so much to read the rest of the articles on this subject. Could you furnish them to me? I see you send sample copies on application. Please send me one. I would love so much to take the Signs, but I have so little to live on that I can not subscribe. I receive only eight dollars a month, and have to pay my room rent out of this, and am in poor health.” Of course no one knows who dropped this copy of The Signs of the Times into the street, but some one did, and here is the result. We have written to some of our missionary workers living in the city, and they will doubtless soon call upon this lady. Shall we not pray that the interest may be thoroughly developed, and a soul prepared for the coming of the Lord, about which she is so anxious to study? H. H. HALL.
