The Signs Canvass

By George I. Butler

With “Sunshine” and other books has gone on splendidly. We hope the earnest workers will not grow weary in well doing for they are engaged in a good work. Many thousands of names must already have been added to the Signs list. Our greatest regret is that the time is so short before the subscriptions expire. We hope there will be special efforts made to obtain renewals of the three month’s subscriptions. We are glad indeed to learn that some are having such success in canvassing for the Signs with Vol. IV. of “Great Controversy.” This is such a precious book that the reading of it will do great good. We have personally read it through more than once, and portions of it as many as four times; and every time, if possible, with increasing interest. How we wish a million copies could be sold. We hope it will be circulated in every legitimate way, and if it can be used to help in the circulation of the Signs two important objects will be accomplished. It will do the people great good to read the book and also our excellent pioneer paper. Brethren and sisters, let us work. This is what we need to do. Work for the circulation of God’s truth everywhere. We have but a short time to work. The night soon cometh. G. I. B.
