Nonbelievers Applying as Book Agents
Of late many applications have been made by those not of our faith for agencies for our subscription books. The majority of these seem actuated by an appreciation of the contents of the books, and impelled by a strong power to engage in their sale, instead of continuing with the books for which they have been working. Most of the applicants have had years of experience as agents. We have wondered what this could mean. We have thought of the great dearth of canvassers among those who profess to believe the message, and we have wondered whether the Lord was not calling others to sell the books containing the message for this time. “The call of the hour is answered by the coming of the man.” These men are coming, and we do not see why God cannot use them as easily as he could cause the very stones to cry out when his own people refuse his calls to service.
