A RECOMMENDATION.

By J. Fargo

We wish to recommend to the brethren and sisters of the Michigan tract society the plan adopted by some other Conferences to pay for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The plan is as follows: Let each church take the “Household Manual” and with it obtain subscribers for the REFORMER, the profits to be used in paying for the SIGNS. If a church obtains only one subscriber each week during the year, this will pay for eight copies of the SIGNS. It seems to me if each working member (and all should be working members) would put forth a little effort in this direction, enough might be obtained in this way to pay for all the SIGNS any church could use.

Not much time need be devoted to this work. Let all, as they do business with others, take occasion to recommend the REFORMER and “Household Manual” and have sample copies with them to show. If every one would adopt this plan, there might be a good work accomplished, and the blessing of the Lord would follow the effort. If this step is taken, and made a success, it will be one step toward making the tract society self-sustaining, and this is very desirable. J. FARGO.
