Lake Union Notes

By J. B. Blosser

It is to be regretted that all our canvassers could not have enjoyed the good things presented by different ones at our Lake Union Conference concerning the canvassing work. Principles were set forth that will, we trust, mold the work for all future time.

Since the meeting I visited Wisconsin and helped Brother Campbell in an institute at Milton Junction. There were nine in attendance. Although we wished that the number was larger, the consecration of those present gave evidence that a good work will be done in Wisconsin the coming year. Their numbers may be greatly increased. If they are faithful, others will be attracted to the work. Brother Campbell expects to search out here and there some whom he can train for service. We shall expect faithful reports from Wisconsin this year.

I am now helping Brother James to train seven in Chicago. While the work in Illinois is in a backward condition, as they have not had a State agent until recently, yet their new State agent is hearing from many who wish to enter the work. I am planning on a month's tour of the State, and several local institutes will be held. Illinois is a paradise for the faithful canvasser, and we believe that the Lord will roll a burden on many of the brethren and sisters of this State to enter the work.
