THE RIGHT WAY TO DO IT.

By Stephen Nelson Haskell

The institutions from which the truth of God emanates are important in proportion to the importance of the truth and the work of carrying it forward; and whatever is done to bring them into favorable notice, is, so far, building up the cause of God and co-operating with the angels in their work. The colporters and canvassers for our periodicals who are now at work in different parts of the field, can do much in recommending our institutions, especially the Sanitarium and College. Each canvasser, colporter, or minister, who travels from place to place and visits families, should have a few copies of the Sanitarium "Descriptive Circular" and the College Record to present to individuals whenever there is a proper opportunity for so doing.

One of our brethren in Springfield, Ohio, who has sent in the names of over one hundred paying subscribers to Good Health since Jan. 1, 1880, says in a letter dated Jan. 25:—

“While at work in behalf of Good Health, I find quite a number who have decided to attend some health institution this winter or spring. I ought to have some of the descriptive circulars of the Sanitarium and those giving terms, etc., to give to interested parties. Hereafter, in sending in names for Good Health, I will designate those to whom such circulars should be sent. I will also send you a list of such names in this letter.

“I am of good courage in this work. I have never been so kindly received in other cities, and a great interest is manifested by nearly all I visit. Many kind wishes for myself and work are heartily expressed as I bid them ‘Good day.’

“The wealthy respond quite cheerfully. I hope by April to have five hundred subscribers in Springfield. I trust this effort will do more to advance the cause of true temperance in this place than any which has been previously made.”
