Colporteurs for Mission Fields

By Editor

WE again mention the call made by the General Conference Committee in the last number of the REVIEW for twenty-five experienced canvassers to go to foreign fields after taking a preparatory course in the Foreign Mission Seminary, under the direction of the General Conference. We trust that this call has already found a response in the hearts of the men who should go, and that we may soon hear from them.

The following note from Brother Max Trummer, written from the capital city of the province where our Argentina school is located, is a good illustration of how the Lord has prepared the way for the circulation of our literature in foreign fields. He says:—

“I want to let you know that we took seventy orders here for Spanish ‘Home and Health’ in three and one-half days. One day we took thirty orders. This is much better than I ever did in the States. We sold to the mayor of the city, also to two bank directors, and took five orders in the federal building.”

Canvassers in other foreign fields are having similar experiences, and it is the repetition of these marked evidences that now especially is the time to enter these fields with our literature, that has led the General Conference Committee to ask for twenty-five men to fill the urgent calls that have come in.

Address all correspondence to N. Z. Town, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

Four of our monthly subscription journals for August have come to hand; namely, Signs of the Times Monthly, Watchman, Christian Education, and Life and Health. Each one of these journals fills a special need in this great movement. The August numbers are fully up to the high standard of their predecessors. We hope that every reader of the REVIEW will do his best to give to these monthlies a wide circulation.
