Great Britain

By S. Joyce

It is with more than usual pleasure that I submit the accompanying report for December. By comparing it with the corresponding month of 1909, I find that the periodical and book sales show a gain of 3,554, amounting to $688.75.

In my last letter I mentioned how the holiday number of Good Health was called for. Now I am happy to say that “Greetings”—the holiday number of Present Truth—met with an equally ready sale, and the supply of forty thousand copies proved inadequate for the demand. Had the publishers provided another edition of twenty thousand, I believe this report would have been increased to that extent.

We had much more than the average number of wet days last month, and a most exciting general election, in a country partially flooded; yet in spite of the inclement weather and political furor, our agents remained at work, and God richly blessed their efforts. To his great name be all the praise and glory. We are trusting him to supply the wisdom, grace, and energy necessary to make 1911 a banner year in the missionary and publishing work of the British Union Conference. S. JOYCE
