More Encouragement.

STILL we are encouraged to learn that the efforts made in distributing the SIGNS are resulting in awaking a deep interest in the truth. Bro. Mavity, who has been traveling through Del Norte and Humbolt Counties in Cal., where we have been sending a good number of the SIGNS to trial subscribers, wrote under date of Aug. 9: “I have visited among the trial subscribers obtained by myself and Bro. More, for the SIGNS, and find all interested in the great truths it teaches, and many will soon become permanent subscribers. I would recommend that none be cut off from the list for the present until you hear from me again, as I shall give all a chance to subscribe while I am here.

“I believe the plan to send out the SIGNS on trial is a good one, if those sending in names will attend to it, by writing, or calling on them at the end of three months, and report to the Office. I was glad to see you urging the matter on the T. and M. society in No. 38 of the SIGNS. I have given away many hundred pages of tracts, and about 100 SIGNS in my travels. Shall order another hundred copies of the SIGNS soon, for further distribution.”

Another letter is before me from Bro. Hager, our State T. and M. Treasurer, who ventured to send the SIGNS a few months since to one who had formerly been a member with him in the Baptist church. He has just learned that the sister received the SIGNS, read it, and has been keeping the Sabbath for several months, and is about decided on all points of our faith. So the work goes. Who else will get trial subscribers and see the fruits of their efforts in souls receiving the truth?
