Selling "Daniel and the Revelation" to Chinamen

By Walter Harper

WHILE canvassing recently in northern California, I was able to sell some copies of the good book "Daniel and the Revelation" to Chinamen, notably to young Chinese, who, of course, were educated and able to read English. They seemed pleased to get this most timely book. Though the sales were limited to this class, and the class is not large, yet the orders ranged from cloth at $3 to full morocco at $5 a copy. The delivery reached one hundred per cent, as I did not lose a single order. Later, in Arizona I sold a copy of the same book to an educated Chinaman who was the manager of the commissariat of a large mine. May the Master bless the reading of it to the salvation of dear souls, and may waves of influence be started by such sales that will reach the shores of eternity. WALTER HARPER.
