THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

Christian Education plans for the individual growth, the betterment of the home, the improvement of the school, the development of the church, and the general advancement of our special message.
REPORTS from the field show a most encouraging circulation of our large books. Although a goodly number who have been working during the summer for scholarships have earned their scholarships and have now returned to school, yet others are taking their places; so the amount of book sales seems not to be diminishing. The evidences all point to a successful fall and winter campaign.
READ this: “I sent for 50 copies of Life and Health late last month, the twenty-sixth, just to see if I could do such a thing as sell any of our papers. When they came, I was sick, and I continued sick for several days. But finally I decided that I must sell those papers before the month passed, whether sick or well. So I went by rail to a town twenty-two miles away, arrived at 8 A. M., and returned at 2 P. M., with all the papers sold, and I felt better in every way. This being my first attempt, I felt very grateful for the prosperity the Lord gave me, and for a knowledge of the fact that I could really do something in helping on this message. I sent for the papers just to see if the Lord could use me, and I believe he can, and will, if I seek him with all my heart.”
A MAN in Georgia asked one of our Life and Health workers the following question: “How many of your agents are there in the State? Everywhere I go, I encounter one.” This seems as though Life and Health workers were everywhere in Georgia. They are increasing in every State, yet we need more.
MRS. BESSIE HESELTON orders five copies of Life and Health, and says: “I want to sell a few if I am able. I am 75 years old. Have just broken my wrist, and can not do hard physical work.” Comment is unnecessary in this case. All one can do is to admire the spirit of the aged sister. The majority of our periodical workers, however, are possessed more or less of the same commendable zeal. Our periodical work affords a field in which every one, old and young, may find employment. And the Lord of the harvest invites all to have a part in this good work.
