Something About the Book Work in South Missouri

By A. A. Cone

“THE Lord is not slack concerning his promise,” and the revival in the book work that he promised us has come.

Since taking up the work here in this conference last January, we have held two canvassers’ institutes, and the Lord has come very near, and impressed hearts. Men and women who have been successful in other lines of work are leaving their positions and taking up this work, and the watchword of each is, “The gospel to the world in this generation.”

Eighteen were in attendance at the institute recently held at Carthage, and have now gone to strengthen the ranks of our faithful band already in the field. Several have come from College View, making in all thirty-two canvassers in the South Missouri Conference.

We are glad for what has been accomplished, but we look for much better things in the near future; for we are told, “Very much more efficient work can be done in the canvassing field than has yet been done.”

Let us pray that the Lord of the harvest will send forth more laborers into his vineyard. A. A. Cone, Field Agent.
