A Word From Manila

By R. A. Caldwell

“PRECEPT upon precept; line upon line,” describes the work of the missionary canvasser. Last week I took an order for “Manga hula ni Profeta Daniel” from a family who already had “Patriarchs and Prophets” and “Coming King” in Spanish. So in going over the city of Manila, I have the opportunity of not only placing the truth in homes not supplied before, but of adding to those already supplied.
During the same week I sold a book in a convent to the ex-governor of the province, who resided with the priest. On my way home, while waiting for the boat, I read the fourth commandment to a brown-skinned boatman, and then asked him which was God’s rest day. His response was “Sabado” (Saturday), the seventh day. He was not a Christian, except to the extent of admitting the truth.
