The Canvassing Work in Chile

By THOS. H. DAVIS.

SINCE our canvassing class closed at Pua the last of October, I have been having some interesting times with the canvassers. Several new ones are to start out soon. It would do your heart good to see the zeal these young men have for the work. One young man who has had no training is making more than at his trade selling small books and the Señales. Brother Farios and his wife, who located in Concepcion, the third city of Chile, are having some good experiences. He sold one hundred ninety-six copies of the Señales in one day, and she sold one hundred, besides selling some books. It was a treat to spend last Sabbath with them. Brother Farios sacrificed a good trade to be a self-supporting canvasser.

The canvassing work will be one of the main features at our conference in February. Here, as all over the world, the canvassing work is not taking a back seat. The president of the conference and the ministers are taking a great interest in it. So many new ones are getting out to work, that the secretary of the conference thinks it will be necessary to increase the number of papers. We are anxiously waiting for the new books in Spanish, which are being translated in California.
