With the Books in California

By Walter Harper

CRESCENT CITY.—July 10 I left San Francisco, Cal., for Crescent City, near the Oregon line, to labor in the canvassing work for the summer. I traveled by ocean steamer, and had a safe and pleasant voyage. The Master had a care for our good ship “Mandalay.” I began work as soon as possible. The Lord went before, and opened a wide door. I saw many tokens of God’s love and care during all the summer. For all this I do thank and praise his holy name.
It has been refreshing to find so many open homes and hearts to receive that grand treasure-casket of truth, “Patriarchs and Prophets.” In one cabin, one Sunday in a redwood logging camp, the dear Lord gave me orders for six copies of “Patriarchs and Prophets” (morocco), and I delivered five of them. This book tells of the apostasy of Satan in heaven, and is one of three books which the spirit of prophecy tells us should be placed now in the homes of the people, for it will open many blind eyes to the truth. It is amazing to see how angels go before and prepare hearts to buy this priceless volume on the very themes the world needs now.
I praise God for a part in his good work. All honor is to our Father in heaven for all I am enabled to accomplish. Please read Isa. 61:10; 63:7; Ps. 28:6, 7. WALTER HARPER.
