Our Home Missionary Campaign

By E. M. Graham

Sold a Thousand Magazines a Month

“Just a line to let you know I am in Calgary. I should like some papers sent here. I sold only 200 papers in Spokane in three weeks. Since coming here I am selling from 100 to 160 a day. I sell them in the business places, and work only three or four hours a day. I am using Life and Health, Watchman, and Signs. Last summer I sold 1,000 Signs a month. The first day I was in Victoria I sold nearly 300 papers from eleven to five o’clock. The Lord surely blessed me in the work. I sold 100 on Saturday night. Altogether I sold 750 in three days. Have also sold over 200 Chinese papers on Saturday nights, also Japanese and other papers, in two hours. I like the work. The people get interested in the truth, and I give Bible readings occasionally. I am not the best of scholars, but do the best I can.”

Does Home Missionary Work Pay?

“One of our sisters in Nebraska has recently learned that as a result of sending the Signs weekly to a friend and writing to him, he has been keeping the Sabbath for some time. He is subscribing for our papers, and has quite a number of our books, all of which he reads, then lends to others that they may learn the truth which has come to him. She began six years ago. Did it pay? She has other friends to whom she has sent this splendid missionary paper for two years, and with whom she corresponds, but not until the two years had elapsed did she learn the encouraging news that two had begun the observance of the Sabbath. Did it pay?”
