IN nearly every conference and state paper that we see are reports of those who learn the truth through reading the Signs and other literature. Are you doing all you can to sell, loan, and give these truth-filled books and periodicals to your neighbors?

DO OUR readers realize the real missionary work that can be carried on through regular correspondence? A sister in one of the central states spends a large share of her time corresponding with isolated ones, encouraging and instructing. Any worker could give names of many who have few if any church privileges, and who would appreciate good Christian letters, and be greatly helped by being thus remembered.
