Canvassing in Uruguay

We extract the following interesting items from a report which one of the young men canvassing in Uruguay sent to the union conference paper in Buenos Aires. He says:—

“The spirit of prophecy says that our literature should be scattered as the leaves of autumn; and this, it seems, is what is taking place in these days, through the efforts of the canvassers. From every part of the world we hear of success in this branch of the work. Sometimes the people are astonished that we are able to sell so many books in one day, but the believer knows that it is faith and prayer that helps him to do this.

“In a recent trip I took 207 orders in about twenty days; value, $521 Uruguayan gold ($539.23 United States currency). I have met many who complain of the great drought which we have been having, but I find also, as I go from house to house, a great drought in the hearts of the people, and a thirst for the message which God in his goodness desires to give them. Let us improve the time to work while we have the opportunity.” N. Z. T.
