Student Canvassing in the Lake Union Conference

By J. B. Blosser

ABOUT ten years ago the plan was set in motion for students to be favored with an extra amount on their sales, in order to encourage them to get the practical experience of interesting people in the truths contained in the books. It took very some time to get the students fully to accept the idea that canvassing is a successful method of earning their way through school. But gradually, as a few met with success, and brought back to the students the precious experiences that they had had in the work, the conviction deepened, until now we find a large number of consecrated student canvassers. Last year about fifty-five went from Emmanuel Missionary College, and this year there will be more than sixty. Last year there were about twenty-five from the Swedish Seminary, and this year there will be thirty-five.

We just closed an institute at Emmanuel Missionary College, and all the field secretaries of the Lake Union Conference were in attendance and took part in giving instruction. During the past year the students in the school had been under the instruction of competent leaders selected from among the students. They had held meetings each week, studying their books and Christian salesmanship, so that their success in the field is due to a good preparation under the blessing of God. J. B. BLOSSER.
