Success in the Book Work

IN the face of seeming obstacles, when the cry of “hard times” is heard on every side, I have had most marvelous success in selling our good books. It seems that an unseen power has a hold on many people, constraining them to buy our large bound books. Very recently, after a young German had refused to take a book, he suddenly called me back and placed an order for full leather “Practical Guide,” and asked to see “The Great Controversy” again, giving an order for the best binding in German. Just then another German came up, and the man who had only a short time before declined to sign for a book, could hardly say enough in praise of my work. His friend readily gave me his order for the two books. That day my orders amounted to more than forty dollars. I am also working with the relief edition of “Ministry of Healing,” and with “His Glorious Appearing” in foreign languages.
Surely God is on the giving hand, and we can pray our way through to victory. We have only a short time in which to work. Soon it will be too late. Are we doing all we can to gather souls for the kingdom?
