Canvassing Experiences

By Walter Harper

God has been very near to me since I last reported to the REVIEW. His loving care has not failed, and I praise him for his great goodness and his wonderful works to the children of men.

I left Boulder, Colo., about the middle of November, and worked across the Sierra Nevadas in eastern California to Loma Linda, with excellent success. My health also continued good. I was sustained through many hard experiences by the knowledge that the workers in the Sanitarium in Colorado were remembering me daily before the throne of grace.

I disposed of many copies of our good books, but the Master's care over "Great Controversy" sales was especially notable. I do enjoy selling this precious volume, and pray that some to whom I have sold it may thereby find their way into the kingdom of God. I also sold many copies of "His Glorious Appearing" in foreign languages, particularly Italian. I never before encountered foreigners so ready to buy a religious book.

Surely now is the time to attempt great things for God, and to expect great things from him. This is the time of the latter rain, and we should "seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness," upon us. WALTER HARPER.
