Canvassing in the Natal-Transvaal Field
A FEW months ago the Echo Publishing Company sent Brother J. H. Camp to South Africa to assist in opening up the book work. Thus far he has had excellent success, although he has only a small constituency from which to draw canvassers. We give below a summary of the work in the Natal-Transvaal field for the month of September. We believe that the first item of the report represents the greatest value of books ever sold by one of our agents in one month. Recently the Mission Board voted that a few good canvassers be sent to South Africa next spring, and we are praying that the Lord will lay a burden upon those persons who ought to go. We should like four strong, devoted, single men, who would feel it a privilege to go to that field as self-supporting missionaries; and by thus laboring from house to house, become acquainted with the country and the people, and grow up with the advancing work in that great, needy continent. May the Lord place the burden clearly upon the hearts of those who ought to go. | NAME |
