Items From the Field

THE Fort Worth (Tex.) branch of the Southern Publishing Association recently placed an order with the Nashville house for 12,600 books, at a retail value of $34,018.75.
IN Western Canada ten canvassers recently earned eight and one-half yearly scholarships, working a total of 1,044 hours, or a trifle under 123 hours for each yearly scholarship. One worker earned his scholarship in sixty-one hours.
SPEAKING of a shipment of books recently sent to Buenos Aires, Argentina, from the Pacific Press Office, Brother H. H. Hall writes: “The entire shipment numbers 56 cases, weighs 6¼ tons, and is valued at a little over $12,000. Certainly the prediction of 1902, ‘I saw that the canvassing work was to be revived and carried forward with increasing success,’ is being fulfilled before our eyes.”
COMMENTING on the resolution recently passed by the General Conference Committee, authorizing the Publishing Department to secure twenty-five experienced canvassers, and arrange for them to attend the Foreign Mission Seminary, under provisional appointment to foreign fields, Brother H. H. Hall says: “It seems to us this plan of preparing canvassers for foreign fields is one of the wisest our people have ever taken. Ought we not, as book men, to see that our share of these twenty-five are hunted up and encouraged to go to the Seminary?”
THE general manager of the Southern Publishing Association writes: “During the month of June we have shipped 16,070 bound volumes, and there are now 25,484 books going through our bindery. These books all contain present truth, so it is very evident that our book and periodical workers are definitely engaged in giving the gospel of the kingdom to the world.”
IN a letter just received from Brother H. H. Hall, manager of the Pacific Press book department, he has this to say concerning the increase in the demand for home tract and missionary literature in the Pacific Press territory: “I am happy to tell you that the demand for missionary material seems to be on the increase. In our territory alone the trade-book sales have increased two thousand dollars, and the tract sales one thousand dollars, during the past six months.”
