The Canvassing Work in Arizona

By WALTER HARPER

I LEFT Southern California three weeks ago to canvass in Arizona. Gila County is rich in minerals. Copper is the chief product. Times are good, and wages are fairly high. I earnestly sought the Master to open the way before me. Our God is a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering Saviour. The Lord never disappoints any who come to him in faith.
From the first, I have been greatly favored in my work here. One day last week, while canvassing near Globe, I took seventy-seven dollars’ worth of orders for books, helps, etc., besides two orders for “Ministry of Healing.” The day before, I received sixty dollars’ worth of orders, besides two orders for “Ministry of Healing.” In two and one-half weeks, the Lord gave me over five hundred dollars’ worth of orders, besides a number for “Ministry of Healing.”
This is the first time I ever tried taking orders for “Ministry of Healing” in Arizona, on the plan I have worked out for its circulation elsewhere, that is, to connect it with my regular canvassing work. I take one or more orders a day for it, and deliver these books when I do the others. Sometimes I have used “Christ’s Object Lessons” in the same way. I believe that the placing of “Ministry of Healing” and “Christ’s Object Lessons” in the homes of the people is after heaven’s order. For all this I give God the glory.
