THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

FROM a recent letter written by B. T. Walker, Dayton, Tenn., we quote the following: “There are eleven in our family, and every one is circulating much of our good literature every year—books, papers, magazines, and tracts. Our ages range from 30 to 66, and the youngest has sold over 2,000 magazines since General Conference.” What a blessing it would be to others, to the cause, and to the individual members of all families, if they could report as this family has.

THERE is ever present temporal and spiritual blessings, peace, and satisfied enjoyment with our periodical workers. Hattie Hamer, who spent last summer selling our magazines, expresses herself as follows: “I can say that I enjoy selling our magazines very much, and hope to again take up the work next summer. I truly believe that a great work can be done with these papers, not only financially for the person who sells the magazines, but spiritually for those who buy. I believe many people will be brought into the truth through the influence of these magazines.”

IT is true that it requires some effort to establish a good work, but it pays in every way. The following statement from one who has established a good work in her community reveals how it pays: “I sold 50 copies of the November number of Life and Health in six hours, and have sold as many of the December number. We all think Life and Health is of great value, and growing better month by month. Many of my patrons are glad when the time comes for the new issue. I enjoy selling the magazine, and feel glad that I am a Life and Health worker.”

MRS. S. E. RICHARDSON, one of our successful periodical agents, working in New Orleans, has tested the selling qualities of Christian Education in that city on two occasions, each being on Sunday. The first Sunday she sold 20 copies, and the next Sunday, having access to a large crowd of people, she sold 100 copies. She says the people buy it as readily as any other paper, and besides it seems to have admissible and suitable matter to sell on Sundays. This may be a good suggestion for other workers. The wholesale price of the journal, when 25 or more are ordered at one time, is 6 cents a copy. The selling price is 10 cents a copy.

THOSE who have had the Sabbath School Worker, and have studied it in connection with the Sabbath-school lessons, recognize its value, and are unwilling to be without it; for they say it is of far more value to them than four times its cost. The following statement, or something similar, is a fair sample of thousands of expressions of appreciation that come to us as renewals are sent in: “We have been greatly benefited by the Sabbath School Worker. We thank you for the helpful notes on the Sabbath-school lesson, and the matter giving suggestions for conducting the Sabbath-school!”
