Six Years in South Africa

By G. H. Clark

LACKING two months, it has been my privilege to serve the Lord in this country during the past six years in the capacity of union conference field missionary agent; and they have been blessed years indeed. The Lord has given success in placing the printed page among the people, and already the seeds of truth are bringing forth fruit in the salvation of precious souls.

During this time, $103,000 worth of orders and $68,000 worth of deliveries have been reported. This gives an average of about $17,000 worth of orders and $11,000 worth of deliveries a year in a white population of one million and a quarter, besides natives.

At the union conference that was held in Durban last April, I was asked to take up home missionary work in the union, besides carrying the canvassing work until the field missionary agent should arrive from America. This I have done.

Last Friday, July 2, Brother G. C. Jenks and family arrived here from America to take up the canvassing work in the union conference. The readers of the REVIEW have seen the reports of his work in the West Indian Union Conference, and know that we have one of the most successful field bookmen that America could give us, and we certainly appreciate the kindness of our General Conference brethren in giving us Brother Jenks. I am confident that he will have great success here. Personally, I am overjoyed to meet him, as he is the first canvassing agent that I have been privileged to look upon for six years.

May the Lord hasten the glad day when the work will be finished and the reapers gathered home.

G. H. CLARK.
