Canvassing with Patriarchs and Prophets
It is truly encouraging to see our State agents taking their prospectuses and going forth into the field as regular canvassers, and demonstrating their ability to sell books. It would be a good plan for our State agents to follow the example of the Illinois State agent in testing the demand for “Patriarchs and Prophets” in connection with the International Sunday-school Lessons. He proposed to see for himself whether this book could be successfully sold at this time as a help in the study of the Sunday-school lessons. So he took his prospectus and went out to test it. His own words will tell the results:— I am doing some canvassing these days with good success. I went out yesterday to see what I could do with “Patriarchs and Prophets.” In ten hours I sold $17.50 worth. This was my first experience with that book. A special effort should be made in every locality to place this book in the homes of the people while they are interested in the study of the subjects upon which the Lord has given great light. While the Bible-studying people of this nation are studying the Sabbath question, we should not fail to place in their hands a book that will lead them to the truth on this important question. “Patriarchs and Prophets” is published in the English, German, Danish, Swedish, and Holland languages. The principal nationalities in this country can be supplied with this important work.
