Selling “The Great Controversy”

I rejoice to report that the Lord has spared my life thus far, and enabled me again to take up the sale of that torchlight of truth “The Great Controversy.” I began work January 26, after a rest of several weeks at the Loma Linda Sanitarium, in California. Time would fail me to tell of all the marked answers to prayer and of the Lord’s loving care, for his mercies are new every morning. I believe it is Heaven’s order that our canvassers combine medical with religious books in their work; and following the instruction of the Testimonies on this point, I am also working with “Practical Guide to Health” and the relief edition of “Ministry of Healing.” However, if I could leave only one book in a home, from all our wealth of denominational literature I should choose “The Great Controversy.” It contains all the message — enough truth to save any soul that will give heed to it. Marvelous possibilities are wrapped up in the circulation of this wonderful book. Some years ago the Lord told us that if “The Great Controversy” had been circulated as Heaven designed, great things would have been accomplished. Let us pray that God may richly bless the colporteurs, for time is short, and now —
“The work that centuries might have done, Must crowd this hour of setting sun.”
