What the "Signs" Is Doing.

A LADY in Waverly, Iowa, writes: "Inclosed find money to pay for 'Thoughts on Revelation,' and SIGNS OF THE TIMES. An uncle has kindly sent me the paper occasionally, and I like it so well that I want it to read every week. I am not professionally one of your 'Band,' yet I believe very much as you do, and want more light."
A young man of Williamstown, Australia, writes: "I am a poor fatherless boy, the sole support of my mother. I am working in a printing office. I am reading your papers and find great comfort in them, and am showing your letter to many friends."
The secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of New Zealand writes: "I have received the SIGNS OF THE TIMES you so kindly sent me. Please accept my best thanks for the same. We should be most happy to receive a copy of the paper for our reading-room. I feel confident that your paper would be highly appreciated."
A lady of Virginia writes: "I thank you sincerely for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES sent me. I think it an excellent paper. It has more purely religious reading in it than any paper I know; and less advertisements and light reading than any paper I ever saw. Our religious papers of to-day are filled up with advertisements, etc., to far too great an extent. Some of them are nothing less than advertising columns."
A lady in Mississippi writes: "I thank you for the papers sent; I have read them carefully. Their teachings prove conclusively to my mind to be in harmony with those of our Lord. Every page of the SIGNS seems to breathe charity, holiness, and consecration to the service of God. I regard you as a people peculiarly taught of the Holy Spirit. You are obeying the divine command, and your light is not hidden. Its rays penetrate to the very hearts of all who earnestly desire and seek light upon this important and glorious theme."
A minister of St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I could no longer refrain from expressing my gratitude for the SIGNS. It is an excellent paper, and one in which others as well as myself are delighted. I hope to be able to obtain some subscribers for it soon."
A gentleman in Maryland writes: "I should be pleased to receive the SIGNS OF THE TIMES and will peruse it with care and pleasure. I consider it a very good paper, and hope it may live long to disseminate the truth of God."
A letter received from an M. D. of Nebraska, says: "The curiosity with which the first few copies of the SIGNS were examined was soon changed to deep interest. I look forward to its arrival expecting to find in each number real spiritual food."
A lady in Scotland writes: "I thank you very much for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. I have been in receipt of it for two months. The paper is very interesting and contains many good pieces. I realize that we are truly living in perilous times. The SIGNS will be gladly received. It always affords me much pleasure to hear from Christians, and I trust the time is not far distant when all God's children shall meet in one home, and be forever with the Lord."
A gentleman of Georgia says: "I have received two copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES which were highly appreciated. This paper is always a welcome visitor to our home; and as I am on the literary committee in our missionary society, I have read several pieces in the SIGNS at our monthly meetings. I think the SIGNS a splendid paper, filled with pure, wholesome literature of a high grade; and coming as it does, almost across the continent, we receive it as a message of love from our brethren in Christ."
