Have All the Arguments

FREQUENTLY our workers with the Present Truth Series write just a word of their experiences in connection with the circulation of the series. The following is received from Alberta, Canada:—

“If I begin really to tell my experience, I may not know where to stop. My banker says, ‘I have been watching you people for years, and I am much interested in your interpretation of the prophecies.’ I sold him three copies in the best binding of ‘Daniel and the Revelation,’ and one of ‘The Great Controversy,’ and received his subscription for the Signs and for some small books. He also gets the Present Truth Series regularly.”

“Another man twenty miles from town says, ‘I read those papers, Present Truth Series, through several times. My wife is reading them yet. I asked her if she wasn’t ever going to quit. She said she didn’t feel like it.’ Another man says, ‘I thought the Adventists were fools down in Minnesota a few years ago for thinking the nations would fight. Now I see I didn’t know anything.’

“A Methodist preacher gave me one dollar for missions, and said, ‘I am certainly in harmony with your health principles from a Christian standpoint.’ Still another said, ‘You people certainly have all the strong arguments.’

“I am not a regular worker. I only canvass among my neighbors and in my own town. I feel a great burden to do more, but it is hard for a farmer to do much missionary work. I am trying to sell out. I am sure I should love the book work.”
