Circulating Signs in Washington

From Washington, D. C.

A WORKER who uses a package of SIGNS in Washington City writes:—
"The paper is read by Catholics as well as Protestants, and it is spoken well of by all. On one occasion the package was broken in the post-office through the carelessness of the clerks, and then thrown into the waste basket. A mail distributor, a member of the Episcopal Church, came in possession of part of one, and became much interested in reading it, and taking it home remarked that the clerks ought to have more respect for such valuable papers than to leave them for destruction.
"Washington is noted for the great amount of its trivial reading; but I have noticed that in handing out the SIGNS, they lay aside their story and daily papers and read it with pleasure, taking a deep interest in its contents.
"This paper should be judiciously circulated for the good of the people. It may be lent and taken up and given to others, and thus each number do a great amount of good. In this way I have found many becoming interested and soon embracing the truth.
"Let us work while the day is ours, for the time will soon come when we can no longer work. It is a great work in which we are engaged, and the people must be warned. We must be faithful if we would secure a right to the tree of life, and ever be with the Lord."
