Our Summary

We are glad to be able to close the first half of the year with such a splendid summary, which shows a gain of $23,000 over that of June last year. It is also cheering to note that the grand total for the six months of this year shows a gain of more than $100,000 over the same period in 1915. Every month shows an advance over the corresponding month last year, except May, and this falling off is due to the reports from the German Union not being able to reach us.
The periodical sales do not present quite as good a showing, but it is encouraging to see such an increase for the month of June over May. The foreign periodicals show a good gain for June over the same month last year.
The outlook for the colporteur work never was brighter than at the present time. From the leaders not only in the home fields, but in the fields abroad, the department receives only words of courage. Some are battling with drought, others with too much rain, others with revolution, and many with the effects of the terrible war; but none of these apparent hindrances daunt the faithful colporteurs. They are pushing forward and winning new victories every day. We have every reason to believe that 1916 will be our banner year in this branch of the work. N. Z. TOWN.
