SUBSCRIPTIONS for Present Truth may be sent in at any time, but a special missionary list will begin Jan. 1, 1917, for relatives and friends and general missionary names. Subscriptions for this special list should be sent in as early as possible. It closes February 1. No names can be entered in this special list after that date. Present Truth will be a semimonthly missionary paper, at 25 cents a year.
West Virginia Conference Progress
In response to an appeal to extend the circulation of the REVIEW in his field, Elder D. A. Parsons, president of the West Virginia Conference, says that the believers in that State are already taking their full quota of the REVIEW, but not content with this, he will do his best to extend its circulation still farther. That conference has also fully paid its part of the Twenty-cent-a-week Fund for 1916. It has sold $18,000 worth of books, and there has been an increase of more than $1,000 in its tithe receipts, not counting those for the month of December. Is it inappropriate to suggest that the liberal support given the REVIEW in that field has assisted in some measure in securing these excellent results?
The Watchman’s New Appearance
The Watchman is never behind. This is evidenced by the new dress and bright, newsy appearance of the January, 1917, issue. Nor is this journal behind in dealing with the stirring, significant events now holding the attention of the world. It stands in the field of journalism as a great Bible expositor, a fearless exponent of the message for this day and generation. The excellent work which it has done in the past will be continued with new vigor in the year to come, according to the announcement of the editor in the January number. This magazine is deserving of the support of all our brethren and sisters throughout the field, and we believe that they will give it this in the year to come, the same as they have in the past.
