A Comparison.

THE Committee of the M. E. Conference on Book Depository and California Christian Advocate, reports as follows: "The circulation of the Advocate was on May 1, 1880, 2,280, since which it has increased to 2,904, which speaks unquestioned fidelity and efficiency on the part of the editor." This is an increase of about 200 a year.
The SIGNS OF THE TIMES, the only religious paper on the Pacific Coast which does not advertise, has increased its circulation about 10,000 the present year. The Advocate will have to hurry up its "Check on Adventism," or it may be left behind.
