Responding to the Calls

“FORWARD to the foreign fields,” is the watchword of our Publishing Department. We can not rest while two thirds of our annual output of literature is distributed to one twentieth of the population of the world, located here in the United States.

It is an encouraging fact, however, that four hundred fifty thousand dollars’ worth of literature was distributed last year in countries outside of the United States.

Earnest efforts are being put forth to build up the foreign publishing work. Recently four pioneer canvassers have been sent to Mexico, and the Lord has greatly blessed them. During the past six months general agents have been sent to Central America, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, and South Africa.

Earnest calls are coming from India, China, and Japan for colporteurs, organizers, printers, and better facilities for printing. These calls must be answered without delay. Men are ready to go to these fields, but they must wait till the mission funds are increased.
