We have on hand a number of special copies of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES which we know would do good work if circulated, and which we will close out at one cent each. These are as follows:—
The issue of Dec. 12, 1895, Vol. 21, No. 49, containing a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and cuts of the house in which it was written, and the press on which it was first printed, and other good matter, 2,000 copies.
Issue of Dec. 19, 1895, Vol. 21, No. 50, containing a symposium on the "Great Threefold Message," 4,000 copies.
Issue of Jan. 30, 1896, Vol. 22, No. 5, a symposium on "God's Memorial," or a consideration of the Sabbath question, 1,300 copies.
We will send these, as long as they last, in lots of five and upward, for one cent a copy, one-half the regular price. The same amount of money invested in any other way on the above subjects would not begin to purchase any such amount of good, fresh matter. Please order at once.

In Chatham, Ont., Jail
By Editor
In Chatham, Ont., Jail.—A letter from Elder A. O. Burrill, from Owosso, Mich., states that the Court of Common Pleas of Toronto, Ont., has confirmed the sentence passed by the lower courts some time ago which sentenced Elders Burrill, Howe, and Simpson to a term of days in jail with costs. The sentence as confirmed by the higher court is without costs of appeal. As it is now, Elder Burrill has a sentence of sixty days to serve in Chatham Jail, and Elders Howe and Simpson forty days each. Other particulars are recalled in Our Work and Workers notes, on page 12. Elder Burrill writes:—
"I expect to return to Ontario in a few days to begin my sentence. To us brethren 'the wrath of the dragon' [see Rev. 12:17] is coming to be a reality. I can thank my heavenly Father for the confidence that he has given to me for such an hour. How precious the promise, 'My grace is sufficient for you'!"
It may be stated that there is no law save that of moral obligation which compels Elder Burrill to return to Ontario. May God bless his servants, and may his truth run and be glorified by their privations.
