South Africa

By H. C. Olmsted

KIMBERLEY.—Since coming to Africa the reports about canvassing have been rather discouraging. It was with a little fear that I began the work in Kimberley. I say a little fear, not because I believed the Lord would not bless the work, but because I felt that but few books could be sold. This impression led me to take up the work with much prayer and careful study.

Since I was somewhat acquainted with “Heralds of the Morning,” and could secure those books here, I thought it best to use that book. I secured a copy last Sunday, and after two days’ study began work Tuesday morning. The Master has led and blessed the work during the few days I canvassed. Now I have thirty-eight orders. The amount of orders in money is about seventy dollars. I believe, by the help of the Lord, that nine out of ten of these orders can and will be delivered.

But more important than this is the fact that so many will get present truth. I have had many good talks, and now I’ve three Bible readings to give each week.
