Missionary Department

By Editor

THE Missionary Department will be found very interesting this week. Besides the encouraging news from Australia, where already a church of forty-six members has been organized, the "Reports of Progress" show no less than ninety-one new accessions to the ranks of commandment-keepers. And this is only a small part of the work that has been done during the time covered by the report. Scores of other laborers have been working at the same time, but have not yet reported. Even if we had their reports, a tithe of the work that is being done would not be known; for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, as it does its work, makes no report, and it, with kindred periodicals, preaches every week to a congregation of not less than one hundred thousand people. The truth is being rapidly spread by these agencies, and thus the coming of the Lord is hastened.
