Lake Union Notes

By J. B. Blosser

THE tokens of a revival of the canvassing work in many places are appearing. In the West Michigan Conference a field secretary has recently been chosen, and in Battle Creek the revival that began during the week of prayer, and has been increasing ever since, is now showing results, a number entering the canvassing work. Some are old canvassers who have been aroused to their first love.

In all the conferences of this district there is a growing conviction that this

branch of the Lord's work should receive more attention. The people are willing to buy our books. One canvasser who has been working in the same city for four or five years, recently reported a delivery of two hundred and forty-seven books, valued at $598.20, during December. As he recanvasses the territory, he finds many who will buy a whole set of books. As a sample, one man bought twenty-five dollars' worth. A thirst for our books is created by giving them a sup the first time. J. B. BLOSSER.
