The Bookmen's Conventions
By N. Z. T.
THREE successful bookmen's conventions were held during December and January in the Pacific Press territory. The first was in Mountain View, Cal., for the Pacific Union; the second in Walla Walla College, for the North Pacific and West Canadian unions; and the third in College View, Neb., for the Central and Northern unions. The leaders in the book work in these five union conferences felt that the time had come when greater progress should be seen in this work in their respective fields than has been seen during the past year. Very earnest work was therefore done in these conventions. We sought the Lord, and he did not disappoint us. Those present saw as never before the need, not only of seeking the Lord, but of doing his work with all the heart. They took for their motto during 1911 the words of 2 Chron. 31:21: "He did it with all his heart, and prospered." For the first time since the organization of the field into union conferences, each union in the Pacific Press territory has a general agent. Every conference but one also has a field agent. The outlook for 1911 is good, and we believe we shall see a substantial increase this year in the book sales in that territory.
