The Colporteur Work in Iceland

By W. W. Eastman

BROTHER O. J. OLSEN accompanies his annual report of the sale of subscription books by our colporteurs in Iceland with the following note:—
“We are not very great, but growing slowly all the time. The colporteurs are of good courage, wading rivers and streams, their backs loaded with books weighing from fifty to one hundred pounds, carrying them sometimes a distance of from twenty to forty miles.”
The report accompanying this note shows sales by the colporteurs for 1915 to the amount of $2,875. Thus in the far north, as well as the south, east, and west, our books are being placed in the homes of the people by the faithful, self-sacrificing colporteurs.
