The "Watchman," the Present-Truth Evangelizer
By Editor
THE Watchman for July certainly proved to be a winner. Our increased printing order was readily exhausted, and many encouraging letters were received. The entire edition was several thousand short of filling all orders. As with the previous number, we are compelled to rush the August edition to early press. The theme for August will be one that should interest every individual, that of Armageddon. The cover design will be unusually unique and interesting, including an actual photo of the place where the Scriptures say this great battle will be fought. It will possess many selling points for the agent. The editor will answer the following vital questions concerning Armageddon: What is it? Where is it? What does it mean? With the many symptoms of strife about us, and the powers of earth marshaling their forces for the last great battle, we believe this number will be one of exceptional interest to scatter among your neighbors. The contents will be up to the usual standard. Space forbids detail mention, as we desire to insert the following letter, which is but one of many we receive in the mail. This indicates the great success that our workers are having:— "132 Forest St., Spartanburg, S. C.
"DEAR BRETHREN: I have been intending for some time to write you concerning my work with the Watchman, and how the people are falling in love with it here. Miss Putnam and I began our work here in this State in March. We sell in the business sections each month. The first month the people did not seem to know the magazine. We have regular readers among the very best class of people. We visit them each month, doing a systematic work. It does my soul good to hear the words of praise for the Watchman. It just makes me bubble over with enthusiasm. I would that there were one hundred workers to scatter out through this broad union to do systematic work for the Watchman every month. As the people are becoming acquainted with this good magazine, we shall try to get as many subscriptions as we can. I love this work. How good the Lord is to give us a humble part in carrying this precious message-filled magazine to the people! I have a burden for the neglected business class who have their hearts set on money-making and forget their own souls' salvation. I believe God has many honest hearts among these people who must be searched out. I believe the Watchman will be one of the main instruments in doing this. Pray for the work here. God's Spirit is working on the hearts of these dear readers. "Your sister in the good work,
"MRS. R. M. CARTER." This letter should inspire every loyal Seventh-day Adventist to "go and do likewise." Who will volunteer to join our rapidly growing band of 1,000 earnest workers who each purpose to secure 10 subscriptions to the Watchman during the next three months? What a wonderful result when we all pull together—10,000 regular readers to the Watchman!
