"Signs" and Vol. IV.

By Editor

SOME of the missionary workers in the East write to us that in certain localities where the canvass for the SIGNS and "Sunshine at Home" had been quite thorough, they are going over the same ground with the SIGNS and Vol. IV of the "Great Controversy;" and they say they are meeting with good success. And one thing that encourages them is this: It is all for the benefit of present truth; the canvasser is not spending his time with that which is not present truth.

We highly approve of the arrangement made at the General Conference, to canvass for the "Sunshine" with the SIGNS. In Oakland our workers have taken to canvassing for Vol. IV alone, without the SIGNS, and are having fair success. We cannot see any objection to the course pursued by the workers in the East; we are glad by all means to have the truth of God brought to the attention of the people.

We have printed at this office, in the form of a 16-page tract, selections from Vol. IV, to be used by those who wish to canvass for the book. It consists of pages 31 to 36, and 316 to 323, the latter being the entire chapter on the "Origin of Evil." These selections are complete in themselves, so that this makes an excellent tract for general circulation. The last two pages are a notice of the book. Wherever this tract is read there is created a strong desire to read the book. They will be furnished by this office at $1.00 per hundred, post-paid.
