Canvassers’ Institute for Ohio

By E. R. Numbers

THE canvassers’ institute for Ohio will be held at the college at Mount Vernon, April 20-30. We expect to have the assistance of Brother E. R. Palmer, of Washington, and possibly of others outside of the State. We hope that all in Ohio who have a burden for this work will send immediately to the Ohio Tract Society, Mount Vernon, Ohio, for a copy of the book they wish to sell, and will study it carefully from now till April, then come in time for the first meeting. We expect to make “Daniel and the Revelation” the principal book in Ohio this season. Those wishing to handle a health book may send for “Home and Health.”

Besides Bible study, and regular classes for the study of the books to be used, there will also be a daily class in practical canvassing, including how to gain an entrance to the home, how to make a successful delivery, and many other essential points. There are many things to be learned at an institute which the canvasser can hardly afford to miss. The advice of those who have had years of experience will be a help to all.

Meals will be served on the European plan, and arrangements have been made to refund the board expenses and the fare from the institute to the field of labor, after the canvasser has sold books amounting to one hundred and fifty dollars.

As the college is full this year, those who are planning on coming should notify the writer at Powell, Ohio, as soon as possible, so that arrangements can be made for their entertainment. Let us remember that time is short, and what we do we must do quickly. E. R. NUMBERS, Field Missionary Agent.
