IOWA

ATLANTIC.—Some time ago my Sabbath-school class and I went on what we called a ‘religious picnic.’ One of the members of the class took us to a neighboring town, where we spent the day in rather a unique way. We took our dinner in real picnic style. We also took about five hundred papers,—REVIEW, Signs, Sentinel, etc. These we distributed over the town, leaving some at every house until our supply was exhausted. We said nothing to any one, because we thought best to let the papers do the talking. We accomplished a good share of our work before noon, and thus had ample time in the afternoon to finish it, and then to enjoy ourselves at the lake. We were pretty tired when we reached our homes, but we had taken pleasure in the day’s outing, and surely that town has heard at least one blast of the trumpet. We have other neighbors that we hope to visit in the same way as soon as possible. IDA M. FOCH.
