Colporteur Training at Madison

FROM a letter written by Elder S. E. Wight, president of the Southern Union Conference, the following is taken: “At the close of the colporteurs’ institute recently held at the Nashville Agricultural and Normal Institute, at Madison, Tenn., six young men and two young women entered the colporteur work in the Southern Union Conference. The institute was conducted by Brother J. W. Davis, the Southern Union Conference field agent, the field agent of the Tennessee River Conference (in which this institution is located), and the writer. A marked interest was manifested in this branch of our work by the school family. Each day during the institute the faculty with all the students devoted one hour to the study of selling denominational literature, and the spread of the third angel’s message by this means. The entrance of these students into the work, makes it possible for the school to accommodate other young men and women who wish to get a preparation for work in the Southland. There are openings for consecrated workers in our field, and this is an opportunity for such to get the desired training. The workers in the South are praying the Lord of the harvest to send workers to help reap the ripened grain.”
