Canvassing in Arizona and New Mexico
By Walter Harper
I CAN SAY, to the praise of the Lord, that marvelous success has been granted me. I began a long canvass about the last of August. I went East in September and returned in October, losing about one month’s work. I stopped canvassing about two weeks ago. In ten or eleven weeks the Lord gave me over one thousand orders for books, helps, etc., or about three thousand dollars’ worth, besides about five hundred small19books, or from three hundred to five hundred dollars’ worth,—a total of fifteen hundred or more orders, or from thirty-three hundred to thirty-five hundred dollars’ worth. Among these orders were many for that grand book, a veritable treasure vault of truth, “Patriarchs and Prophets.” This is one of the three books which the spirit of prophecy has specially stated should be placed in the hands of the people at this time. In this work things are revealed that mortal man never had opened up to him before. How valuable and important is this instruction! I was granted divine aid also in selling many copies of that precious dedicated volume, “Christ’s Object Lessons.” I pray that God may bless the seed sown, and in that great day of final awards there may be seen a multitude of sheaves for Christ.
