Our Colporteur Work for September

By W. W. Eastman

ANOTHER month has passed, and again the Lord has manifested his blessing upon the colporteurs in their work throughout the world, as shown by the accompanying summary. These figures represent many thousands of homes that have been visited by these consecrated workers, and through the aid given them by the Holy Spirit and heavenly angels, thousands have purchased books containing the last message of mercy to a perishing world. No doubt many will accept the light contained in these books, and the faithful colporteur who has sown the seed will meet the reward of his labor in the kingdom of God.

The report shows a gain of over $17,600 for the world-wide work. While the gain in the homeland is small this month, it is encouraging to see the progress that has been made in the Australasian, Scandinavian, Latin German, Central European, Danube, and South African Unions, in the countries of the Orient, and in Central and South America.

The work of the colporteur has proved to be a most effective agency as a pioneer in the mission field, and most urgent calls are coming to the Mission Board for leaders who can train the native forces for this work.

While wars and troublous times are increasing, the work of the Lord moves on to its final conclusion with accelerated pace. W. W. EASTMAN.
