Progress in the South

By R. Hook, Jr.

THE year 1910 has been the best in the history of the Southern Publishing Association. We have sold more books than ever before, and our agents are still busy making deliveries and taking orders. We have a number of men in the field, who have put in an average of forty hours a week all the year through. As a result of this faithful and painstaking labor, we are able to report that from Jan. 1 to Dec. 1, 1910, we have shipped out 183 tons of literature. If shipped in car-load lots, twenty-four thousand pounds to the car, this would make a train of fifteen cars containing our message-filled books and papers. We expect that, before the year is out, our tonnage will reach two hundred for the year. This is a splendid showing, and we feel to praise God for the manifold blessings that have attended the publishing work in our territory.

When we stop and consider that these books and papers have been placed in the hands of the people, we have only a small conception of what it may mean in that last great day when God shall claim his own.

Seventh-day Adventists are to be witnesses for the truth. Our canvassers

are surely acting an important part in warning the world. There is room for many more in the ranks of our field workers. “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few.” Says the Master: “Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.”
