Spring Circulation of Gospel Tracts
By Editor
FROM March 22 to April 24 the Review and Herald Publishing Co. sent out 50,000 of the five new tracts issued in the Words of Truth Series, besides a large number of the same tracts issued in the Bible Students' Library. The average monthly sales of these tracts by the Pacific Press is about the same amount as sold by the Review and Herald during the month of April, so the monthly output of these five tracts at the present time is about 100,000, or 1,600,000 pages. This is no small work, and we hope our people will continue to circulate these tracts during the spring and summer months. At this time of the year, when all nature is making a supreme effort to proclaim anew the love of God, in the clothing of the earth with Edenic emblems, and is thereby bringing the hearts of men more in communion with the divine Spirit, our tracts and books containing the message of the soon-coming kingdom and the full restoration from sin, should be circulated with more spirit and energy than at any other time. At this time the hearts of the people are more susceptible to truth than at any other time of the year. It is God's especial time of appeal to all creation; and his people should discern his appointed seasons, and go forth with his message with an inspiration of new life, while all nature co-operates with them in turning men's hearts to God. EVERY lover of Jesus should plan some definite work to be systematically done for him during the spring months. The lay members of our churches should procure a supply of tracts, and as frequently as possible set aside a day for distributing them. The knowledge of having several hundred people reading of the promises of Jesus' coming will fill the heart of the worker with the love of Christ, and the blessing of heaven upon him for his unselfish service will inspire his life to the extent that his own affairs will be more prosperous than they would have been had he worked unceasingly for himself. The Lord is not a hard master. He pays well, even in this life, for every hour of unselfish labor; and in the life to come it will not be possible for the mind of man to estimate the value of his wage.
