THREE HUNDRED A WEEK.

By A. O. Tait

A BROTHER in one of the Southern States is taking three hundred copies of the Signs of the Times every week. In response to an inquiry in regard to the manner in which he disposes of so many papers, he says: “I have three hundred subscribers in the suburbs of —. I take subscriptions at ten cents a month; and as they drop out, I secure others. About half take the paper the second month. I have been taking this club three months, and expect, with the blessing of the Lord, to keep it at the three hundred standard.”

Now the query: If this brother can do such a good work as this, are there not many others who could do equally well? He has been in the present truth only about one year. Many who have known this message for years, and yet perhaps in all their lifetime have not circulated as many as three hundred copies of the Signs of the Times, the number that this brother circulates every week, should, by his experience, be encouraged to work. The Lord is urgently saying to everyone, “Go labor in my vineyard to-day.” Soon it will be too late to labor; for we are on the threshold of eternity. The resurrection day is at hand. The eternal kingdom of Christ is almost here. As willing subjects of that kingdom, we should seek to be gathering others into this realm of eternal bliss.
