Methods Followed by Some

By L. A. H.

VARIOUS plans are followed in the different conferences for keeping up the interest in the campaign. Like other enterprises, be they ever so good, this movement needs attention in order to keep it going. With so many interests demanding attention, it is easy for any one of them to lag unless it is properly kept before the people.

E. L. Spencer, missionary secretary of the North Dakota Conference, sends out communications under a letter-head devoted especially to the $300,000 Fund and the “Ministry of Healing” campaign. Below the letter-head are the subheadings; “First a Willing Heart” and “We Can and We Will.” A few forceful statements are given on the left side of the sheet. The value for correspondence purposes is not hurt, and it makes a good medium for keeping two important missionary enterprises before those who receive the letters.

B. W. Spire, secretary of the Florida Tract Society, issues a neat typewritten circular letter, setting forth the campaign work. This is accompanied by a page devoted to a description of “Ministry of Healing,” which can be left with prospective purchasers. This matter is sent to all the conference members.

H. A. Shreve, now missionary field secretary of Florida, has been spending some time on the east coast of the State, selling “Ministry of Healing” in the towns accessible by boat. He has his own boat, arranged for living purposes. He has sold a goodly number of books, and reports having had some interesting experiences.

The West Kansas Conference passed a resolution at its last camp-meeting to set apart the month of December for the sale of its quota of books up to date. L. A. H.
