Wide-Open Doors in the Canvassing Fields
By Walter Harper
I CAN report only courage and good cheer. I am full of joy and hope in this grand, glorious work of placing our good books in the homes. I see so many tokens of God’s loving care and remarkable answers to prayer that time fails me to enumerate them all. Ps. 40: 5; 98: 1; 105: 1-5; 145: 7. May a host be won for the Saviour, to adorn his glorious courts above and sing his praises for all eternity, as a result of these pages circulated, followed by our good missionary papers. Having left home at the Loma Linda (Cal.) Sanitarium, on April 5, for Goldfield and Tonopah, Nev., I have been busy ever since. In about eight weeks’ canvassing I was blessed by the Lord with between eleven and twelve hundred dollars’ worth of orders for books, helps, etc., including those for the relief edition of “Ministry of Healing,” for Loma Linda College of Medical Evangelists. All honor to the Lord for it all; for all is of his bountiful hand. All is of his heart of love; for he is love. 1 John 4: 8, 16. I have been delivering for nearly one month, and have filled from seven to eight hundred dollars’ worth of orders. My delivery will take about three weeks more, and I hope it will total ten to eleven hundred dollars. How gracious God is to us all! Dear brethren and sisters, pray the Lord of the harvest to abundantly water this seed sown. Rom. 15: 30. O, I see so much to do—open doors on every hand in Nevada, California, Arizona, and other States! I cannot get around to do it all. O, where are the laborers? Fields are white unto the harvest here; also in Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, and North Carolina,—room for an army of God’s messengers, the canvassers.
