One year ago there were only about one third as many canvassers at work in our conference as at present.
A few years ago, when our book work was almost dead, and many believed the canvassing work was practically ended, the Lord's servant told us that it was God's desire for us to resurrect this work, and that our books could and would be sold in great numbers. Now we see the word fulfilled in this and many other conferences. Let us thank God, take courage, and press the battle to the gates. MEADE MACGUIRE.
