Vermont Canvassers’ Institute
By J. W. Watt
A CANVASSERS’ institute will be held at North Wolcott, Vt., April 25 to May 5. F. E. Painter and others will be present at this time to assist in the work. The importance of circulating our literature is set forth in the many testimonies given this people through the spirit of prophecy. In Vol. VII, pages 150, 151, we read as follows: “Our publications have a most sacred work to do in making clear, simple, and plain the spiritual basis of our faith. . . . The great object of our publications is to exalt God, to call men’s attention to the living truths of his Word. God calls upon us to lift up, not our own standard, not the standard of this world, but his standard of truth.” Those who engage in such an important work as this should have a preparation for the same; this is why institutes of this kind are held from time to time in the various conferences. We hope to see a number of our brethren and sisters who are ready to devote their time to this work in attendance at this institute. We should be glad if those who are coming would write at once to A. W. Boardman, Wolcott, Vt., that arrangements may be made for both room and board. May the Lord place the burden for this work upon those whom he can use successfully.
