FROM THE LAND OF COLD.

THE following is taken from a letter just received from Bro. A. M. Dart, Dawson, Yukon Territory:—

I believe a marvelous work is crowning your efforts with this most excellent issue [Labor and Capital number of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES]. I received my seventy-five copies, but with meetings every night in the week, except one, and wood to saw for 40 and 50 below zero weather, I wondered where my time to handle them was coming in. What do you think I did? I am giving the message to a very studious and interesting class of five or six men. At the close of one meeting I asked these interested ones to remain a few minutes. I told them I had a special number of the SIGNS containing a wonderfully clear exposition of a most vital phase of the message in which they were interested; that I did not know how I was to get time to distribute these papers, and if they could help me, I was certain they would be blessed. After each one had purchased for himself, one said, "I will take four to sell," another said the same, and I thus disposed of twenty. Next evening, after meeting, one said, "I sold my four, and want four more." Another said, "I will take four more."

I went out with them one afternoon, and after making a few calls, had a good Gospel talk in a drug store, and spent nearly all my time. After going out, I hesitated whether to go home or continue my work. I decided to continue, and sold fifteen copies in a very short time. I have just been out splitting wood, and, to indicate the freshness of the atmosphere, will say that the thermometer stands 56 degrees below zero. All consider, however, the winter has been mild for the country, up to the present time.
