Alabama

By C. E. Giles

At present we have but few canvassers engaged in the work, but it is not because they are not needed; for this is what might be termed a “needy field.” The people are ready and waiting for the message, but the workers to carry the truth are lacking. Alabama is a fruitful field. It will compare favorably with any State. The climate is mild and pleasant. The winters are not cold enough to be uncomfortable, and in the summer we do not suffer with that extreme heat that is experienced in some of the more northern States. The canvasser need not lose any time on account of heat or cold.

Our books have been sold in several places in this State, yet we feel that the work has only been touched with the ends of our fingers. A hundred times as much should be done in the near future. And with the Lord’s blessing, we believe that a great work will be done in Alabama.

We believe that God-fearing canvassers will reap rich rewards for their work in this State, and the Lord will supply the living. There is also an opportunity for many of our brethren and sisters to live the truth, and thus be the channels through which God can give the message to their neighbors and friends. We believe this to be a very large “fruitful field” for the “living preacher.” C. E. GILES.
