KEEP THE WORK MOVING.

By R. A. Underwood

To the Workers in Ohio and West Virginia: Nothing is so well calculated to quicken the pulsation of the heart, and lift the soul above all discouragements, as to see the message of mercy that is to ripen the harvest of souls for the coming of the Lord extending to all parts of the earth. The moves made by the late General Conference, and those of the past few months are most encouraging. Cheering reports come from different parts of our own State. Bro. Anglebarger reports that ten have united with the church at Springfield, and others are deeply interested. Bro. Van Horn reports from Columbus that six have taken their stand fully with us, while others are deeply interested. Several of the old churches have received additions to their numbers. Four new church buildings are nearly completed and will soon be ready for dedication.

What can I do more than I am doing to extend the truth in our own borders? is a question we all should consider prayerfully. The destiny of some soul may be balancing on the personal efforts we put forth in their behalf. The present offer of the Signs for three months with “Sunshine at Home” at $1.50, with 40 per cent commission to the agent, is a splendid opening for many to engage in a work that will bring a fair support, and the reward of seeing souls saved in the kingdom of God. Those who are unable to canvass their town or city may be able to provide a home for some one who can, and thus the way may be prepared for future labor. Those who can help forward the work in this way, or any who have an opening for a series of meetings, should correspond with me at once. To those asking help in their churches, I would say, We hope to assist you soon. R. A. Underwood.
