The "Watchman"

By E. R. P.

A LETTER recently received from the circulating department of the Southern Publishing Association, brings a good word concerning the circulation of the Watchman. Brother Brown, the circulation manager, says:—

“This morning’s mail brought an order for twenty-one subscriptions to the Watchman from one of our smallest tract societies. Another tract society gives us a list of forty-two names to be placed on our Watchman list for the coming year. Every mail brings a large number of subscriptions, many of which come from people not of our faith. This is doubtless due to the earnest work of our people who are interested in the success of the Watchman. There has been a net gain of over 600 subscriptions in our list during the past two weeks.”

There has been a rapid growth during the past year in the list of magazine subscribers. This is a good indication. We appreciate very much the miscellaneous sales of these magazines, yet we appreciate even more, if possible, the annual subscriptions that are sent in; for they give definiteness and regularity to the circulation.
