“Christ’s Object Lessons” in the State of Maine
UNTIL recently but little effort had been put forth in the State of Maine for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” At the June meeting, however, which was held in Bath, it was decided that the work must be begun at once. For one reason or another the force of ministers had been greatly lessened, until Elders Bicknell and Dexter were the only two who could be counted upon for active work. Many of the brethren and sisters felt very sad because they had so few ministers to carry on the work. They were told that this apparent calamity could be turned into a blessing. If there were no ministers to take hold of the work, the people could everywhere arise and do it. In spite of its being the busy summer season, the people have gone to work, and a goodly number of books have been sold. Any and every season of the year is a good time in which to sell “Christ’s Object Lessons.” The man who makes a success of canvassing must pay but little attention to season or weather. He must work in season and out of season as God gives him opportunity.
