BE PATIENT AND HOPEFUL.
By Editor
Orders for our Quarter-Centennial issue are coming in faster than we can fill them. We have four presses running, three two-revolution flat-bed presses on the cover, and our web-perfecting press on the paper itself. Our large fast press is running twenty-four hours a day. Our folding-room is crowded with workers. Our wire-stitchers (and an extra one has been added to our force) are running ceaselessly; and we are employing as many workers as we can find place for in our large building. We have wished many times that we had another press of equal capacity to our web-perfecting Cottrell. Two other presses are at work on our regular edition of the SIGNS. Manager, superintendent, press-room, periodical department, folding-room, mailing-room, are working to the last limit of time and endurance; and we are also praying that in it all God may direct. Yet, dear friends in the field, we are behind your orders. But be patient and hopeful. We are doing the best we can to do good work, and all we can of it. The first copies of our Quarter-Centennial were mailed December 6, and we are turning them out at the rate of 25,000 to 30,000 per day. We are filling large orders in part, and will send the balance later. Marked copies are being sent to the 20,000 editors in the United States. This means much in marking and wrapping. But we expect to meet all your orders, tho a little late; for “the hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him,” and the work is His.
