WILLING TO PAY TWICE
It sometimes happens that our notice of ex-
piration of subscription is sent just before we
receive the renewal from a subscriber. A
lady who had already sent her renewal re-
ceived such a notice. She hastened to reply,
stating that she had already sent one dollar,
and asking us not to drop her name from the
list. She added that she would remit again
if the first money failed to reach us, for, she
writes, “I cannot afford to be without the
WAarTcHMAN.”
In saying this she stated what many are find-
ing to be the truth. It is not a question as to
whether a person can afford to become, and
remain, a regular subscriber to the WATCH-
MAN; but the question to answer is, “Can
I afford to be without this good paper? Can
I afford to miss the spiritual instruction and
the encouraging, soul-inspiring articles which
appear in its columns from week to week?”
‘Another, sending his renewal, says of the
WarcaMAN, “It seems to be growing better
each number.” ‘This is a very frequent ex-
pression in the letters addressed to this office.
We are glad to believe that there are good
reasons for such statements, and our friends
who are helping to place the publication of the
WarcamaN on a fully self-supporting basis
by increasing the number of subscriptions are
doing much to assure the continuance of this
improvement.

EXPERIENCE WITH ‘‘GREAT CONTROVERSY”
I srENT
small books last summer,
about four days canvassing with
and met with some
success, which caused me to be anxious to get
out into the work. But somehow there always
seemed to be something to bar the way, or
prevent me. During the institute at Hilde-
bran, I made a start with “Great Contro-
versy.”
The first day being Sunday I took one order.
I began to feel that I could sell the book. That
week 1 canvassed twenty-four hours and took
six orders for “Great Controversy” and one
for a Bible. The sccond week I worked
twenty hours and took ten orders for “Great
Controversy.” The third week 1 worked
twenty-four hours and took twenty orders
also two for “Daniel and the Revelation.”
The fourth week I worked twenty-one hours
and took 11 orders, and one for “ Daniel and
the Revelation,” making altogether 8g hours
work with 47 orders for * Great Controversy,”
and three for “Daniel and the Revelation.”
I also sold one Bible and some small books,
making a total value of $127.75.
I never spent a night away from home, and
much more could have heen accomplished had
it been so that I could have devoted more
time to the work.
I write this, not to show my ability as a can-
vasser, but as an appeal to others to canvass
in the South and to take up the sale of the
larger books. We have such a little time to
sell our books, and those books that contain
the full truth for these times ought to be sold
THE WATCHMAN
above all others. This ought to be the aim
of every canvasser who loves the truth, and
wants to hasten on the message.
This is the most favorable time to scll our
literature. Things are taking place in the
world that are causing unrest; that which is
being preached in Babylon is being contradicted
by that which is taking place among the na-
tions. Our time to work 1s now.

QUESTION
Now that the restraining influences
which have so long kept the Russian
armies outside the gates of Constanti-
nople are being withdrawn, will it be
long before the Turk is driven from
Europe ?
What will that event mean?
has Inspiration said about it?
What
This entire subject of stupendous im-
portance will soon receive able considera-
| tion in a series of articles to be published
in the WATCHMAN from the pen of Prof.
| P. T. Magan. Interesting facts will be
| presented in these articles which have
never before been brought out in con-
| nection with this subject.
i These articles will be of more than
| ordinary interest. You will want to
| follow them closely. Are there not
. persons to whom you should send the
| WATCHMAN during the time this series
i is running?
