CAST THY BREAD UPON THE WATERS.

We have often suggested the importance of circulating the Review and tracts where there seemed to be a possibility of their doing any good. We know not how many there are in the land, famishing for the word of truth who would be led to a knowledge of it, from a perusal of our books and papers. There are doubtless many who would be interested to learn our position, who know not as yet that there are such a people as ourselves, or such publications as we issue. The following letter which we received from Mrs. Martha Ashbaugh of Kane Co., Ills., will illustrate.
"MR. SMITH, Sir:—A couple of numbers of your paper fell into my hands very accidentally, and so much interested me that I determined to send for the Review and Herald for one year."
We therefore say again, brethren, spare no pains, either by circulating books and papers, or by written epistles, or by word of mouth, to get the important subjects in which we are interested, before the people. "Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days." Eccl. xi, 1.
