TAKE NOTICE.

By S. N. Haskell

TAKE notice of what? The remarks of Eld. James White on last page of REVIEW No. 24, present volume, under the heading, Way of Life.
The officers of the various Tract Societies will take especial notice of this and govern themselves accordingly. There should be canvassers in every district. In a circular to agents, which every director should have, more particulars are given. Every director in a State like Michigan should have not less than fifty copies of Way of Life, with the other premiums offered. Then when any member of the Tract Society takes the Way of Life or other premiums, that church of which the individual is a member is charged according to suggestion in article referred to. The librarian of each church will receive the pay for the subscriber obtained with the premium, and forward the name to the director who will do the business, unless there is a special arrangement made with the individual and director. Every director, district secretary, librarian, and, in fact, every Tract Society officer, should preserve a copy of that notice for reference, that there be no confusion in the work.
In small Conferences like N. E. where the business can be done with the general secretary, it is not so necessary for each director to have such quantities of premiums on hand.
These liberal offers are not made for canvassers to go among our brethren with the REFORMER and SIGNS with the premium, but for our brethren and sisters themselves to take these periodicals and go outside of our people to do this work. Shall we not have at least five thousand of our brethren and sisters that will do something, obtain at least one name for the SIGNS and REFORMER with the premium, and at least five hundred who will go out and devote their time to it.
I have received letters stating that some of our sisters in other Conferences are earning from one dollar to one and a half per day canvassing for the periodicals with the premiums. A nice little sum for these hard times. A short time more, and it may be that political difficulties will abridge our liberties. Who will work while the day lasts, and have it said “she hath done what she could”? S. N. HASKELL.
