SOME GOOD WORDS FOR THE “SIGNS.”
By Editor
We would be glad, had we space, to publish the many letters which we receive in commendation of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. We are thankful indeed to receive these letters, to know that the precious truths which the SIGNS is bearing to the world, have reached hearts who have responded to them; and we are the more glad of this because we know that these letters are not written with any idea of flattering those who are conducting the SIGNS, but because of gratitude to God for the truths which the SIGNS has brought to them. For all this we say with our readers, “To the Lord be all the praise.” Below we give some of the expressions gleaned from the many letters which we have received the last few months. One subscriber in Portsmouth, Ohio, whose circumstances are very straitened indeed, having to earn her own living, while in ill health, feels that she must have the paper. She says:— I can only send for six months, and at the end of that time perhaps I can do better, but I must have the paper. Another writes from Wallace, Washington:— I am so much pleased with your noble and true paper, the SIGNS, that I wish to say a word just to encourage the publishers. I have been changed from Sunday keeping to the true Sabbath of the Lord through reading this noble little journal. This seems to be a time of general waking up among the Christians throughout the land on the subject of the Sabbath. The SIGNS is doing a wonderful lot of good among the people of this neighborhood, more than the publishers know of. May the good Lord bless his work and keep it in purity as it is now until the Master comes and sets up his kingdom. Another writes from Nanaimo, B. C.:— I take pleasure in letting you know that the SIGNS is much prized in this part of the field. Two others write us from Schell, S. C., in regard to our literature:— It seems to be the most difficult matter to get the people interested in the plain, simple teachings of the Bible. We trust that your helps may continue to a far greater extent to present the truth in its power and purity, and that you may be blessed of the Lord abundantly in the great work, which has already carried light and blessing to a few hearts rejoicing in the truth. This is the way one writes from State Run, Pa.:— A kind friend has been sending me the SIGNS OF THE TIMES for some time, and I like it so well that I wish to subscribe for it myself, and desire one of the books which you send with it, “Prophetic Lights.” Inclosed find $1.75. My husband wishes also to send it to his uncle. The same person also sends two other subscriptions for six months. Still another, from Waseca, Minn., writes:— I read the SIGNS in the summer of 1893, and was very much pleased with it, and feel that I can be without it no longer lest I miss some truths of vital importance. Enter my name as a subscriber to the SIGNS. I wish to be one of the fold and worship the true God. What a mighty fortress is our God! How small all else looks beside him! Peace and power be with you in giving meat in due season. May God bless these dear friends and the many thousand others whom they represent. Pray for the editor.
