A Result of Systematic Periodical Work

By D. W. Reavis

ABOUT six months ago a church in Ohio, having an indebtedness on its building to the amount of three hundred dollars, decided to lift this through the proceeds the members would receive on sales of Life and Health and Liberty. Report has just been received from that church, stating that two hundred fifty dollars of the debt has been earned by its members; the spiritual condition of the church has been greatly revived; and, best of all, two women have accepted the truth through reading the papers first sold, and others are interested.

The two women who accepted the truth through reading the periodicals sold by the members of this church, have themselves become active periodical workers; and each of them, up to the time of reporting, have been enabled to sell twenty-five copies an hour during all the time they work. At this rate their profits have amounted to one dollar and fifty cents an hour. What this church in Ohio has done can be done by other churches, and we hope that others will follow their example.
