AN ENCOURAGING RESPONSE.

Instances like the following, which are almost constantly coming to light, should greatly encourage those members of the T. and M. societies who are engaged in the work of putting our periodicals into the hands of new readers, in order to awaken an interest with them in the truths we teach. A sister in Arkansas Post, Arkansas, having received a few copies of the REVIEW, probably through some T. and M. worker, now sends on $2.00 for a year’s subscription, and writes:—

“Providence has kindly placed in our hands a few copies of your paper, the REVIEW AND HERALD. We prize them very highly. We had never seen any of them, and did not know that there was any such paper, until a few weeks ago, when a member of your church living at some distance from us placed in our hands some of the papers. We like them better than any other paper we have ever read, finding nothing in them but what is good, and according to Bible truth. We belong to the Methodist church, but believe that if more such reading matter were circulated and read in this country and others, there would be more real Christians than at present, and more Bible-reading and searching for the truth. We find more truth and light on the Bible in the REVIEW than in any other paper we ever read; and we know there are thousands of souls that are hungering and thirsting after righteousness, who would read them with joy.”
