The Book Work in the New York Conference

By L. W. Graham

At the recent camp-meeting of the New York Conference, the publishing work received prominent attention. During the past year the conference officials and the field missionary agent, Brother H. C. White, have worked hard to develop a strong corps of canvassers. Just as the work was well built up, and the agents were selling a thousand dollars’ worth of books a month, Brother White’s health failed, and he was forced to resign. Brother E. E. Covey now has the work in charge. Brother Covey was one of the most successful canvassers in the conference; and as he had had several years’ experience in the field, he is able to help the agents in a practical way.
The work has reached such a point in this field that more people are volunteering than can be employed at the present time. The accompanying picture shows a group of the regular canvassers, with some who expect to begin work soon. In addition to these we have several students in the field, who were not present at the camp-meeting.
New York hopes to sell twenty thousand dollars’ worth of books during 1911, and we believe the prospects for realizing this hope are excellent.
