Canvassers’ Institute in Washington

A CANVASSERS' institute under the general superintendence of Brother G. H. Clarke, general agent for the Chesapeake Conference and District of Columbia, was held with the District of Columbia churches and the Review Office employees from September 21 to October 7. Two sessions were held each day, the afternoon session at the Memorial church and the evening session at the Review Office chapel. Brother R. J. Bryant, who is working in the general canvassing work in the Atlantic Union, rendered valuable assistance in the opening of the institute. Those who availed themselves of the instruction given at this institute feel well repaid for the time spent, and as a direct result some have decided to make a business of the book work. Similar institutes among our churches throughout the country would result in greatly increasing the sale of our literature, in arousing a missionary spirit among the people, and in hastening the proclamation of the message.
