The "Watchman," the Present Truth Evangelizer
By Editor
THE summer's campaign certainly opened well. The June Watchman, vividly portraying the catastrophes by land and sea, proved to be a rapid seller. Our unusually large edition was completely exhausted eight days after coming off the press. An additional run of 5,000 was in its turn exhausted as soon as finished, necessitating a third run of 5,000 copies. This breaks all records in our magazine work, and shows how the Lord is working successfully on the hearts of men through our faithful field workers. We are doubling our printing order for July, as we have an unusually attractive and patriotic cover design. Please note below a few leaders:— The editor writes on "Is Our Ship of State Unsinkable?" In view of the policy on the part of our general government to concede privileges to certain church classes, and a gradual undermining of the grand principles upon which our government was founded, we believe this article will prove interesting and timely. J. S. Washburn treats the interesting subject of "What Is Transpiring in Heaven." In view of our firm belief that the Sabbath will result in separating mankind into two classes, we believe that Elder J. L. McElhany's article, "The Seal of Heaven," will be very instructive. "The Invincible Life," by Geo. B. Starr, clearly outlines foundation principles upon which every successful life should be laid. "The Return of Our Lord," by E. E. Andross, is a treatise on things both new and old, in a striking and attractive setting, dealing with the culminating event of the ages. Can you not secure twenty-five copies of the Watchman and dispose of them gratis or otherwise among your neighbors? We believe that if this is done, and the work followed up month by month, interested ones can be found and a substantial route built up. One middle-aged woman in Georgia, working upon this plan, now enjoys a dependable patronage of over 700 regular customers to whom she brings the Watchman. She sells several hundred in addition to this regular route. Surely the blessings of this sister are without number, and can be enjoyed by any one else who will work diligently toward this end. Our July Watchman will be our best. Rates in quantities: Five to forty copies, 5 cents a copy; over fifty copies, 4 cents each. Subscription price, $1 a year.
