OUR PERIODICALS.

By Stephen N. Haskell

BY ELD. S. N. HASKELL.
MUCH has been said concerning the necessity of widely circulating our periodicals. Our publications are the right arm of our power. The work of God is not carried forward by personal influence, but because it is based upon truth, backed up by the Holy Spirit. None of our publications are more important than our periodicals; for they not only contain the truth, but present it new and fresh with every issue. Whoever obtains a permanent subscriber for any of our papers,—French, German, Danish, Swedish, or English,—does a good work, which will, in the end, tell as much for the advancement of the cause as any ordinary sermon.
The College Record should not be neglected. It has a work to perform which no other publication can accomplish. For certain reasons, the impression exists in many localities that S. D. Adventists do not take much of an interest in education. Could a hundred copies of this paper be circulated where at present but ten are read, it would be a mighty means of removing prejudice. In many instances individuals would be led to inquire into our educational interests, and to think favorably of our work, who are now entirely ignorant of its nature. It would also connect many of these with our College.
Let the Record be extensively distributed by our canvassers, V. M. workers, and colporters. A copy can be sent by mail to interested readers with the Signs, without additional postage. As the Record is now issued monthly, and the price is only ten cents per year, a vast amount of good can be accomplished at a trifling expense. Certainly no S. D. Adventist would wish any of his friends to remain ignorant of any branch of this work, especially this department, where ignorance would result in reflecting discredit upon the cause we profess to love.
