Progress in the Lake Union Conference

The following items, taken from private letters, show how the Lord is blessing in the circulation of literature in the Lake Union. Regarding the work in the Indiana Conference, Brother H. H. Rans, the tract society secretary, writes:—
“We are glad to report that business is coming our way with a rush. Not only our regular colporteur work is prospering, but our home workers are doing well. Last month their reports showed a total of more than $325 worth of books sold. We cannot remember a time when we have been so busy at this season of the year. We are very thankful for this prosperity.”
Brother J. W. Mace, manager of the Review and Herald Branch at South Bend, Ind., also writes:—
“We have had an unprecedented rush during the first part of December. The first four days of the month we packed and shipped over 4,000 subscription and home workers' books at an approximate value of $5,000. Our sales still continue. Yesterday we shipped over $800 worth of books. We have a great many small freight orders; one day the number reached twenty, as a great many of the home workers are ordering by freight. We expect to have a very heavy rush of the express business between now and the twentieth, and do not think we shall be disappointed from the way the orders have been taken.”
Our lay members throughout the whole country are taking hold of the home workers' books with enthusiasm, and the Lord is abundantly blessing them in their efforts.
