An Appeal for Workers

By C. F. Parmele

“Resort ye thither unto us,” was the word from Nehemiah to his brethren when their enemies had planned to “cause the work to cease.” Another great work is now being carried on, and unity of action in the closing gospel message is even more imperative than then.

In many of the older conferences the work of placing present truth in the homes of the people is so nearly accomplished that hardly one has not some of our printed matter. Indeed our State has for its aim this present season, “the truth to every home in our State this year.”

We have a most needy field in Tennessee. When one worker here meets another, the conversation quickly turns on how the events occurring about us show that the time for work in our State is short. And yet we have an abundance of unworked territory in which are honest souls, hungry for the truth. Our plea for help is inspired by the sense of danger that souls will be lost if we delay longer to visit the unentered homes all about us. We are to have a canvassers’ institute, beginning January 28. Who will engage in this work? Let us hear from you. Address me at Madison, Tenn. C. F. PARMELE, Canvassing Agent.
