Two Good Reports on “Ministry of Healing” Work

At the close of the meeting held in College Place last October, I was asked how many books I was going to sell. My reply was, “One hundred copies.” I am very glad to report that my hundred copies are sold, though I expect to sell more in the near future.

My experience in the sale of “Ministry of Healing” has been very interesting. I have come in close contact with people of all ranks and occupations. I have visited the millionaire in his palace, ministers of different denominations, and the professional people as well as the common laboring man and the poorer class.

My earnest desire is that our literature may be placed in the hands of all the people everywhere. The truth must be proclaimed, not only from the pulpit, but also from the printed page in every home. If that is done, we shall soon see the day approach when we shall meet in the blessed day of resurrection. Brethren and sisters, let us do all we can to place the “Ministry of Healing” in every home in our vicinity.—Emmanuel Lovold, in North Pacific Union Gleaner.

Since my last report some time ago, I have visited a number of churches in the interest of “Ministry of Healing” and sanitarium work, and am glad to say that some are taking hold of this work. However, there is not nearly so much being done as there should be. We have about twenty-five hundred members in the State, and if each one would sell even two books it would result in five thousand dollars for the cause of God, and would work no hardship to any one; on the contrary, it would prove a great blessing to all.

Read Isa. 52: 1, 7, 8. There is something for each of us to do, and a threefold blessing for those who fulfil this scripture,—a blessing to the one who sells the book, to him who receives it, and to the cause for the benefit of which it is sold. A short time ago I received a letter from a brother who had put in three days in the field with the book “Ministry of Healing,” and enjoyed the work so much he wished he could put his entire time into it. Another, a sister, who before starting out believed she would have no success, sold thirty-five books in a short time. God is always willing to help if we will but take him at his word.—A. Belding, in Lake Union Herald.
