The Summary

By N. Z. T.

IT is with special gratitude in our hearts that we send out our colporteurs' summary for September. Eight of the twelve American unions show a material increase in book sales over the corresponding month of last year, and nine of these unions show a gain in magazine sales. These reports mean much in some of these unions, especially in the three Southern unions, where there is a severe financial crisis in the cotton trade. But notwithstanding these conditions, each of these unions shows a gain in both book and periodical sales.

We are especially glad to be able to present such a full report from the foreign

fields, and to see such good results in the four German unions. A letter which accompanied these summaries states that in the West German Union district, which includes Hamburg, their August sales were the largest they have ever had in that district. It is encouraging to see that notwithstanding the war, such a large company of colporteurs are still carrying on their work. The report from Great Britain also shows that a goodly number of our colporteurs are fighting the battles of the Lord successfully in that field. We believe all the readers of the REVIEW will join with us in thanking the Lord for this excellent showing at this time. N. Z. T.
