TO OUR FRIENDS AND WORKERS THROUGHOUT THE FIELD
By S. H. Lane
The managers of the Review and Herald Pub. Co. are very anxious to do everything in their power to spread the truth everywhere, and to get our books before the general public. As we issue new books, we usually print circulars giving an extended description of them. If these circulars could be sent everywhere, they would create an interest in the books advertised, and many would be induced to send for them. We have in mind especially our trade books, tracts, and pamphlets, and not our canvassing works. If we had the names and addresses of persons throughout the entire land, we should be glad to send them circulars from time to time, recommending them to order of our publishing houses—the Review and Herald Pub. Co. and the Pacific Press Pub. Co.—and of our tract societies, and by this means get our literature before the public more prominently. Now, will not our workers and our brethren and sisters throughout the field send us the names of those not of our faith to whom we can send circulars of our books and papers? Can not our colporteurs and our brethren and sisters send us the names and addresses of persons whom they know to be interested in literature, candid and upright persons, who are stanch pillars in society? The names should be sent to the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich., and we will advertise our works more extensively; and if we hear of an interest created through our advertising, then a worker can be sent to visit those who have ordered books, and thus the way be opened for personal missionary work. Send names and addresses of those only whom you think could be benefited by reading our works. We should be glad to receive thousands of these names. The last message of mercy must be carried to the world. It is an aggressive work. The angel is represented as “flying,” which seems to indicate that the people who know this message must keep moving in spreading the truth to earth’s remotest bounds. S. H. LANE.
