AND THE WORKERS

"RUSH 250 February Protestant to our address," wires the Louisiana Tract Society. Western Oregon Missionary Society also telegraphs for a supply.

SECOND large edition of the February or "Great Protestant Mass Meeting" number of the Protestant Magazine is NOW READY. Holding forms! Keep it up!

TWICE within a week the manager of the Washington, D. C., branch of the Associated Press has telephoned to Brother A. J. S. Bourdeau, manager of the Protestant Magazine, asking for advance information concerning the next or March number of the magazine.

Honorable Lloyd-George, British minister of the exchequer, recently had placed in his hands a copy of the January number of the Protestant Magazine. Our agent, a foreign missionary, writes: "It interested him greatly. I may see him on his return." By request we withhold the name of our agent, and also the place of this occurrence.

Elder G. A. Stevens sold 27 copies of the February Protestant Magazine on the two top floors of one office building on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C., January 20. Brother H. F. Brown, a student, sold 100 copies January 19, and 106 copies the next day. He sold 17 copies to one man, and 7 to another. It sells readily.

Elder W. H. Thurston, president of the Wisconsin Conference, writes: "Please send me at once 10 copies of the Protestant Magazine, to Milton Junction, Wis. Charge to Wisconsin Tract Society. I shall try to get some subscriptions here. We are to hold a general meeting here January 29 to February 1. You may also send me 15 copies to Green Bay, Wis., for use in our general meeting there, February 4-8."

Elder H. A. Weaver, religious liberty secretary of the Ohio Conference, telegraphs as follows from Columbus, Ohio: "Big doings anti-Catholic circles. Expect to sell thousand or more Protestant Magazine. Want thousand back numbers, free distribution, to advertise. What can you do for us?" Back numbers are as scarce as current issues. We could spare him only 500 of the February number and 300 back numbers. Wired back: "Great Protestant revival everywhere. Swamped with orders. Rushing second large edition."

Elder A. R. Sandborn, president of the New Jersey Conference, and Brother H. A. May, the tract society secretary, recently attended a meeting of the Mercer County Federation of Patriotic Fraternities. Brother May writes: "We were given a few minutes in which to present the Protestant Magazine. Elder Sandborn gave a short canvass, and then we started to pass the magazines. There were about 75 persons in the room, and we left 73 copies there. All seemed

anxious to get the magazine. We were not over ten minutes in disposing of these 73 copies. I sent 25 copies of the January number to one of our workers in a little country town, and just got word from him this morning that they went 'like tinder in a furnace.'

In the Washington, D. C., campaign, Mrs. M. V. Nowlin, a Bible worker, sold 41 copies of the February Protestant Magazine in one office building. Mr.

and Mrs. C. E. Moon, students, sold 85 copies in one day; Miss B. M. Fleming, 56 copies. Brother C. V. Leach, the conference field missionary agent, reports 10 copies sold the first hour. Walter Nelson reports 47 sold; Mr. Harter, 46; another student, 60; another, 48;

another, 25 in one office building; another, 63; and the returns are still coming in. These records and many others show that this magazine can be sold.
