Work in North Carolina

I HAVE been selling “Coming King” and “Story of Daniel,” and my sales for the year have amounted to $613.45.
For ten years before coming here I canvassed in Iowa, the Dakotas, and in Kentucky, and I can truthfully say that I would rather canvass here than in any of the other States.
I find it a very needy field. I have worked mostly in the country, and have found very few who had any of our books. Most of the people have simply heard of us, but have neither read our books nor heard any of our ministers preach.
The people are very kind and hospitable, and the canvasser is treated as a visitor, and not as a pedler. Nearly all profess faith in the Bible, and belong to some church. During my last year's work not one has said in my presence that he was an infidel. Profane language is almost as rare.
If any of my dear brethren or sisters in the North are looking for a needy field where they will be welcomed by the people, I would be glad to hear from them, and to write more specifically of the needs and advantages of North Carolina. My post-office address is Mooresville, N. C. This is new territory, many counties having never been entered by any of our workers.
Besides selling books, I have given away and sold many papers, prayed and sung with the people, leaving results with the Lord.
HORACE G. MILLER, State Agent.
