Be of Good Cheer.

By John Norton Loughborough

WHY? "Because ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." From week to week we receive tokens that the SIGNS is doing a good work and we hope this will serve as an incentive to all to determine, whether by our means or otherwise, to make it a success.

The following from a subscriber in Indianapolis, Ind., speaks for itself. She says, "For about one year I have received and read with great interest this paper, and enclose money [$4.45] to pay for it another year. I consider it the best of all the papers I have an opportunity to read ; and the light I have received upon the Sabbath question through your publications I esteem above all price. If you choose to send me some tracts on the Sabbath question I think that I could distribute them to advantage to those about me already interested. I pray you may have success in your labor just so far as its object is to save the souls of men. I wish to be among those blessed ones whom the Lord shall find watching."

Last week Mr. Levi Butcher, an enterprising appearing man from Mound City, Kansas, called in our Office. He is seeking a home in Cal. He said that he with several others at that place had consented to receive the SIGNS. He paid the postage on it, and had since become so deeply interested in it that he wanted it to continue, and as soon as he had decided on his location should pay up for the paper. He gave us to understand that the paper was read with great interest by those who were taking it at Mound City. J. N. L.
