The "Signs" and "America."
By Editor
BELOW we give extracts from letters received from State T. and M. Societies, showing the feeling that exists in regard to extending the circulation of the Signs and Sentinel. We trust that all have the same spirit and that our subscription list will be largely increased during the coming year. We know it will be so if all are faithful. "Your letter, also the American Sentinel circulars, received. We have sent the circulars out to all our T. and M. Societies and requested that they be read at their next Sabbath meeting. We feel sorry to see our Signs and Sentinel lists so small, and I have written to all our librarians and urged them to make a thorough canvass in their societies for these valuable papers, and not only that, but to get those who can canvass to go out among their neighbors and see if we cannot increase the circulation of these papers here in this State. "I see some of our churches are diminishing their club of Signs, but this ought not to be so. As the end draws near, I feel that it becomes us to double our efforts in scattering the truth by means of our periodicals. We will see if something cannot be done to get the churches to take larger clubs of the Signs. "I fear we have allowed other things to take our attention and this matter to a degree has been neglected. I have read this last circular over carefully and I do not see how any one can read it without being stirred over the matter. "I have received the circulars, and terms to canvassers for the American Sentinel, Signs, and Pacific Health Journal. We will do all we can for these papers both to obtain new subscribers and renewals. I hope we can do more in the canvassing work this coming year than last." "We thank you for the circulars and schedule of terms to agents. It is a great help to one to have such a plain price list to send to the agents. We will do all we can to increase the circulation of your papers. Your terms are certainly very liberal." "The prospects for subscriptions are good. I shall make an earnest effort to get the local societies to take clubs of Signs for 1887. I know this State ought to take more Signs; it is such an excellent missionary paper. We hope also to make a stronger effort for 'Great Controversy.'"
