A GOOD EXAMPLE.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

YESTERDAY I visited a family who had embraced the truth within the past six months. Going to the library, I found a complete set of all our bound books, Sister White’s works, and our tracts. Shortly, the mail was brought in, and it contained the REVIEW, the Instructor, and the Signs. I could but feel at home. It was easy to converse on any part of the message. I knew they loved it all. I soon learned that they had signed the teetotal pledge, and that neither tobacco, tea, coffee, nor pork was used in the house.

Now, this is what every Sabbath-keeping family ought to do. I know of scores of families that have been in the truth for years, that have not a quarter of our books. They are able to get them all, if they really prized them as they should. I hope the action of our late General Conference on this subject will be regarded. D. M. CANRIGHT.
