The Canvassers’ Institute in Atlanta, Ga.
By GEO. W. WELLS
A CANVASSERS’ institute is now being planned for the State of Georgia, to be held in Atlanta, beginning Feb. 26, 1908, and continuing two weeks. Long ago the Lord said the canvassing work was to be revived, and we believe the time has fully come when this work that has been so “strangely neglected,” is being revived in this State. The rapid fulfilment of prophecy clearly indicates to us that the end of all things earthly still is fast approaching, and what we do in the way of getting our literature before the public must be done quickly. We have every reason to believe a good, strong, and aggressive company of canvassers should be continually working in Georgia. The past few months the few agents we have have fully demonstrated that books can be sold here. The records they have made compare favorably with those of other fields. A mighty work is before us,—a work that calls for consecrated men and women, those with an unconquerable determination to succeed. I most earnestly appeal to our brethren and sisters to look with favor on this important work, and see if you can not arrange your work so as to attend this institute, and give your lives to the spreading of this great advent message. The institute will be held in the church at 507 East Fair Street, and we are expecting to care for all free, who arrange to spend some months with us in the field canvassing. We fully expect great blessings and a better fitting up to do valiant service during the year 1908. We expect the best help obtainable in this field, and we shall carefully study the various books to be used, and instruction both by precept and example will be given. Those planning to come may inform our field missionary agent, A. L. Manous, 602 Capitol Ave., Atlanta, Ga., or the writer, 77 Beecher St., Atlanta, Ga. If there are those who are interested in this glorious work, and can not enter it at the present time, they may feel it a privilege to render some financial aid. Such should send contributions to our conference treasurer, M. L. Woodall, 16 White Hall Terrace, Atlanta, Ga. Keep the matter in mind, and pray for the success of the work. GEO. W. WELLS, President.
