Conference Presidents as Factors in the Circulation of Literature

By E. R. P.

THE excellent report from New Jersey is interesting in several respects. There has been no State agent in that conference for several years. Elder B. F. Kneeland, when he was recently elected president of that conference, resolved that the subscription-book work should be built up. He entered heartily upon the work himself as far as his other numerous duties would permit. He invited the union conference general agent to help him, and to recommend at the earliest possible date a good State agent. Brother Raleigh French from Ohio was secured a few weeks ago to take the position of State agent, and when he arrived, he found that the conference president, assisted by the general agent, had already a force of eighteen canvassers in the field.

The old adage still holds good, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” and also that other old adage, with a slight modern improvement, “All things come to those who hustle while they wait.”
