GOOD WORDS FOR THE "SIGNS."
By Editor
FROM time to time we receive many letters from our subscribers and others into whose hands the SIGNS OF THE TIMES has fallen. We would be glad to publish them all, but have not space. But just the same we are glad to hear from our friends; it gives us courage of heart. For all the good the SIGNS is doing, we give to the Giver of all the glory. Here are some sample extracts from letters:— Gilbert W. Bingham writes from Oakland City, Ind.: "Every number of the SIGNS is full of good things; every contributor, by the good Spirit, is unfolding the beautiful truth." From an interested reader in the State of Washington comes the following: "A kind and faithful friend gave me several copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. I have taken great pleasure in reading them. I do not belong to any religious denomination. I have been brought up from childhood to observe Sunday as God's holy Sabbath day. Now what I want to know is how Saturday is the Sabbath day. I have written to you, for I thought you could explain it to me better than anyone else. If you will be kind enough to explain this to me plainly, I will never break the laws of that day again, and will do my best to help others observe the same." Brother E. W. Webster, after speaking of the interest to hear the truth where he is laboring in South Carolina, says: "The people often stop us on the streets to get the SIGNS and Sentinel. Two have begun to keep the Sabbath, and others are on the point of doing so." A lady in Kansas shows her appreciation in the following words: "I want to thank you for the weekly visits of your valuable paper, which I prize very highly. My attention was drawn to the true Sabbath last October, and, recognizing the leadings of the Spirit, I began immediately to obey. It seemed like taking a step in the dark then. However, I did not lose much time in counting the cost, but set out, as did Abraham, by faith. About that time some kind friends, anticipating my need of light and help, sent my name as a subscriber to the SIGNS. Praise God forever for his goodness and mercy to those who seek to know his will. The paper has been of priceless value to me. I think it has the right name—SIGNS OF THE TIMES. It has been the means of settling me in the faith so firmly that never a shadow of doubt has entered my mind. "I use all my papers and all I can get from others for distribution. I believe there are many souls hungering for the truth, but we must not get discouraged because so few find it. Oh, what a rest my soul has found in this present truth! My whole soul, my entire being, is aroused to action. I cannot enjoy this precious light, and sit down, and not help others to find it." A lady in Pennsylvania writes: "I enjoy reading the SIGNS very much. I think there is truth contained in them, and I am willing to accept the truth wherever found, and to recognize the Spirit of Christ in the hearts of all believers. I love God's people, whatever may be their creed. We should search the Scriptures daily with care and thoughtfulness, and with much prayer. We should take God's word for our guide and counsel, and should be permitted to worship God according to the dictates of our consciences. I believe those men who have undergone such severe trials and persecutions are devoted, conscientious Christians, and I do not think they ought to be punished by the civil law. I like Mrs. White's writings very much."
