The Canvassers' Institute for Eastern Pennsylvania

By J. H. McEACHERN

KNOWING that the REVIEW is read by a majority of the Sabbath-keepers of the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference, I take this opportunity of calling attention to the canvassers' institute to be held in Reading, Pa., Feb. 20-29, 1912. The brethren and sisters of this church offer free lodgings and breakfast to all attending this institute who will consecrate themselves to the sale of our books and magazines during the coming spring and summer. Arrangements have been made whereby meals (dinner and supper) can be secured at a nominal price. To those who do faithful work, the conference offers liberal inducements on the matter of railroad fare to and from the institute.

This institute will be an important occasion, and will mark an advance step in the canvassing work in this conference. Good help will be provided. In addition to the practical training that will be given by the general agent of the union on the art of successful salesmanship, we are praying and planning that the devotional spirit of the institute may result in a real “upper-room” experience to those who are going out into the highways and byways to search for souls hungering for the bread of life.

The rapid fulfilment of prophecy indicates that the coming of Jesus is very near; but preceding this event must come the loud cry of the third angel. “And in a large degree through our publishing houses is to be accomplished the work of that other angel who comes down from heaven with great power, and who lightens the earth with his glory.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. VII, page 140.

Let consecrated men and women attend this institute, and receive a course of training which will qualify them to become efficient laborers for God. We need your help in Eastern Pennsylvania, where thousands are waiting to welcome the intelligent, God-fearing, truth-loving canvasser.

“Who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?” Correspond at once with the undersigned. We entreat the prayers of all for the work in this field.
