ENCOURAGING

By Editor

ENCOURAGING words from every part of the field are still pouring in upon us in regard to our forthcoming quarter-centennial issue of the SIGNS. Friends of the work represented by this paper are organizing for the purpose of placing a copy in every home just as far as possible. Orders that were sent in some time ago are being increased; and while only about half the territory has been fully heard from, actual orders received, and assurances of further orders, amount to about 400,000 at this writing. If the friends of the cause keep on increasing their efforts until the date of the special issue, more than the proposed million copies will be needed.

These brethren and friends who are thus extending the circulation of the special number of the SIGNS, believe that the Lord Jesus is coming soon, and that He has a precious message of salvation to give to the world, so that as many as will accept Him may be ready for His coming. Has not your heart been stirred by the evidence that betokens the Master's return? And are you not planning to have a part in doing the special work of circulating this million-copy edition?
