A GREAT AND NEEDY CITY.
By Editor
FROM time to time the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will in its regular work give especial attention to the needy fields of the world. Most of these fields lie far outside of the bounds of this country. Yet there is one needy, very needy, field in this country, which it seems to us should appeal to Christians throughout the land. That field is the great metropolis of this country, Greater New York City. That need is the condition of souls in that great metropolis. Read the article on page 12 of this issue. Look at that narrow street. Think of 4,000 people sweltering, dying, choking, toiling, moiling, in those stifling tenements. Many of them have little hope of blessings in this life. Do you not want to help them to secure the blessing of the life beyond? That will be the greatest benefit for the life that now is. Sometime in January, 1906, we shall have an issue which has several articles dealing with conditions in our great cities, especially as revealed in New York. The president of that conference, Pastor C. H. Edwards, wishes to use many copies of this paper in that city. His force of workers and means are not adequate for the millions in that field. He ought to have help. Now, how many are there who will subscribe for ten, fifteen, twenty-five, fifty, one hundred, or five hundred, copies for that city. Of course if desired, these copies may be used in your own vicinity. Better still, subscribe for the paper and send it to Brother Edwards and his faithful force of workers in that field. This is a good time to help a great and needy field. The price of the paper is two cents each, or $2.00 a hundred. Let us hear from you, and hear speedily, as to how many copies you will take for yourself or for New York.
