NOTE.— Thus the total sale of our periodicals in the United States last year amounted to forty-one per cent of the total literature sales. Adding the sales of other literature handled by our home workers (trade books, Bibles, tracts, and pamphlets) to the $330,633.80 worth of periodicals sold, we have a total value of $400,224.55, or approximately fifty per cent of the total literature sales. And this does not include the forty-per-cent books now listed among the regular subscription books, but handled by our home workers. The report for 1909 will show a large increase in periodical sales over 1908. Further reports, showing the percentage of periodical sales in foreign lands, etc., will appear later. The possibilities for home missionary work are almost unlimited.
