Canvassing,— A Sevenfold Good

By E. R. P.

1. In circulating our books the canvasser is engaging in a pioneer work.

2. Statistics show that more people have been brought to a knowledge of this truth by reading our literature than through any other means.

3. The canvasser produces his own wages, and can “make good money without working on the Sabbath.”

4. He is not dependent upon any of our institutions, and instead of taking money out of the cause for his support, he is bringing money into it.

5. He is co-operating with our publishing houses and tract societies in the production and distribution of literature.

6. He carries the truth into thousands of homes where prejudice or love of the world forbids our ministers and Bible workers to enter.

7. Going from door to door, he comes into the closest touch with the people and their needs, while his own heart is ever kept warm and glowing in the knowledge that the Saviour is soon to return. E. R. P.
