Eastern Pennsylvania Institute

By G. W. Holman

The canvassers' institute which will be held in Scranton, Pa., March 15-27, will be educational in its nature. Brother I. D. Richardson, general agent for the Columbia Union Conference, will be present throughout the two weeks.

A full program for each day has been arranged, covering an interesting and profitable course in the Bible and Testimonies, also in the theory, art, and practise of canvassing. Every one who has been called to this part of God's great work, will find this course very profitable.

God has a place for every true child of his in finishing the great work of bringing this last message to the people of this generation. The question that every one should ask himself is, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?”

If Moses had refused to be used of God to deliver his people, the people would have been delivered by some other appointed servant, but Moses would have been rejected.

If the Lord has called us to a certain work, and we refuse to heed his call, we shall likewise be rejected, and shall be held accountable for the souls that we might have helped.

Board, room, and tuition will be free to all who will enter the work at once as regular canvassers. Let all our regular agents attend. Others desiring to attend will be boarded at a nominal sum.

An additional five-per-cent commission on all sales will be allowed the canvassers who attend the institute, until they have received the amount of their railroad fare from home to place of institute, thence to field of labor.

Each one attending should bring a good supply of bedding, and two towels, also the following books: Bible, “Hymns and Tunes,” “Gospel Workers,” “Early Writings,” and one of the following books for which he may wish to canvass: “Great Controversy,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” “Bible Readings,” and “Heralds of the Morning.” These books will be thoroughly taught.

All desiring to attend the institute must make arrangements previously with the undersigned, whose post-office address is 150 East Lemon St., Lancaster, Pa.
