A PLEA FOR MEXICO.

By Editor

Under the above heading last week’s SIGNS OF THE TIMES presented a special plan and plea for opening missionary work in Mexico. This plan was to establish in that country a small printing plant for the publication of papers and books in the Spanish language. While this article was still in proof, it was read at a meeting of the stockholders of the Pacific Press Publishing Company held April 29, and the question, “Who will be the first to respond?” was answered as follows:—

For every one who gives ten dollars one share of stock will be issued if desired; and this share of stock will entitle the holder to one vote in any meetings of our publishing association.

We feel thankful for the above hearty response to this published request; but as there is a great work before us, and many large books to prepare, a still greater sum will be needed. Donations will appear in these columns from week to week as they are received. Address SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
