The Sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” in Vermont
By J. W. Watt
SINCE this work began, about two thousand copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons” have been sent into Vermont. Individuals have taken from five to one hundred copies to sell. I think about twelve hundred copies have been sold and paid for. As a Conference, we should sell at least three thousand copies of this book, as we have a membership of five hundred or more. We are thankful that a good beginning has been made, but the three thousand copies should all have been sold ere this. The Lord has spoken very plainly upon this subject, and has said that holy angels would accompany those who engage in this work with humility of heart. At a recent meeting of the Vermont Conference Committee it was decided to make a strong pull. April 16 and 17 are appointed as special days for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” in Vermont. If every one of the five hundred Seventh-day Adventists in Vermont will sell four copies of this book, April 16 and 17, the remainder of the three thousand copies will be sold. We sincerely hope that every one will heed this call, and join us in this special effort to do what the Lord says should be done. If we go out into the field trusting in God, success will be ours. These books can be sold. The writer has taken, in all, one hundred and ten copies to sell. About forty of these have been disposed of, and the rest will be placed in the homes of the people later. This excellent book should be in every home in the land; every chapter in it is worth many times the price of the book. Why should we feel at all timid about asking our fellow men to buy a book that we know will do them great good if they will read and study it? Its precious lessons on God’s love and care are sufficient to move the hardest heart. The sale of this book is far different from what the world terms canvassing work. This is taking the gospel, pure and simple, into the homes of the people. But what need we say more? Brethren and sisters of Vermont, let us arise and go forward with this work in the strength of Israel’s God, and we shall receive a rich blessing and a deeper experience in true Christian life. Remember April 16 and 17, as special days set apart for this work. J. W. WATT.
