Our Summary

By W. W. Eastman

We are glad to be able to present to the readers of the Review another encouraging summary of our colporteur work. It will be seen at a glance that the gain for August over the same month last year is more than $24,000; and this in spite of the fact that quite a number of reports from the foreign fields are not in.

It is encouraging to see the reports that are coming in from the Central American and South American fields, some parts of these fields having only recently been entered by our work. The prosperity attending our workers clearly indicates that the fields are ripe for work. The Mission Board is receiving urgent appeals for men to act as leaders in the book work. Truly there never has been a time in the history of the advent message when there was a greater demand for our literature.

The gain for the North American Division is larger this month than during any preceding month of the year, every Union, except the Eastern Canadian,

showing a gain. We thank the Lord for his prospering hand in our colporteur work, and we believe we shall continue to see the work advance as we near the end, for, as has been said, the work is in a large degree to be accomplished through our publishing houses.
