WANTED IN MAINE.

By J. B. Goodrich

WE want one or more in each T. and M. district in this State to canvass for the HEALTH REFORMER and SIGNS OF THE TIMES. We wish to put the “Family Health Annual” into thousands of families this year; and it cannot be done without an effort on the part of our T. and M. workers. Let all at once take hold of the work in earnest, and it can be done. Dist. No. 1 has set a noble example, having decided to take 1,000 Annuals. Dist. No. 2 will take 500; and let Dists. Nos. 3, 4, and 5 take hold in proportion, and a good work can be accomplished.

Now is the time to work. The last T. and M. report develops the fact that there are gifts in this State that, when brought into the field and instructed how to work, can accomplish a large amount of good. The V. M. Societies at So. Norridgewock and Allen’s Corner, Deering, with their present organization, have performed during the past six months more real missionary labor than all the rest besides; and when we take into consideration the fact that in one vicinity twenty-six are now keeping the Sabbath as the result of reading, how can any excuse themselves and say, “There is nothing that I can do”? All are left without excuse. A long winter is before us in Maine, and people will have time to read. Thousands of families should be furnished with reading matter at once, and it can easily be done if all will take hold of the work unitedly.

Let our brethren and sisters remember that the added one-third is for the support of the T. and M. work, and let it be sent in with their T. and M. reports, and then we shall not be held in suspense in reference to means to carry forward the work.

Watch, pray, and work; and God will give the increase. J. B. GOODRICH.
