Mississippi

By John R. Staton

ON October 12, I came to this conference to act as field secretary. We have many things in this State for which we are thankful. As we have open weather most of the year, our colporteurs can put in full time. I can truthfully say I like the people and the conditions here.
Our brethren and sisters are loyal to the support of the work. They give of their means, and many of them make great sacrifices to help carry this message. Since I came to this State, I have been out helping several of our boys deliver their books. Some of them had ninety per cent deliveries.
The people are open-hearted. They have money, and are willing to buy our books. But we need more colporteurs to help carry this message.
The needs of the South have long been presented to our people. In a little time from this it will be too late to do the Lord's bidding. The Lord said that the harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Dear brethren, let us not sleep while souls all around us are being lost.
JOHN R. STATON.
