An Item for Missionary Workers.
"In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good." Eccl. 11 : 6. The following incident reported by Prof. C. C. Ramsey, will serve as encouragement to workers to obey the above injunction:— "At the very first house I entered in this new field I found an elderly lady and her grown son who had been keeping the Sabbath for nearly two years, as the result of reading the SIGNS while living in an adjoining county. They had met but two or three of our people. The point of greatest interest in this case was that the paper had not been sent directly to them, but to a neighbor who cared but little or nothing for it. At his house they picked it up, were led to investigate the truth, subscribed for it themselves, and after a few months began to keep the Sabbath. And thus it often is; copies of our periodicals fall accidentally into the hands of those who will derive greater benefit from them than those for whom they were specially intended."
