The Sale of Our Large Books in Georgia

By Arthur L. Manous

One of our canvassers who has been working for “Daniel and the Revelation” and the “Seer of Patmos,” has demonstrated that in Georgia the large books deliver as well as the smaller ones, or even better.

This canvasser had one hundred and seven orders for “Daniel and the Revelation” and fifty-six for “Seer of Patmos” in one delivery. Of “Daniel and the Revelation” he delivered ninety-seven, or about ninety per cent. Of the “Seer of Patmos” he delivered forty-three, or about seventy-six per cent.

This shows that the large books “will make their way,” as the Lord has told us through his servant.

“The larger books should be sold everywhere. [Note the expression, “everywhere.”] These books contain present truth for this time,—truth that is to be proclaimed in all parts of the world. [Again note the expression, “all parts of the world.”]” Our canvassers are to circulate the books that give definite instruction regarding the testing messages that are to prepare a people to stand on the platform of eternal truth, holding aloft the banner on which is inscribed, “The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus,”—Special Testimony, Dec. 6, 1902.

Again we read: “The important books containing the truth regarding Satan’s apostasy in heaven, should be given wide circulation just now; for through them the truth will reach many minds. “Patriarchs and Prophets,” “Daniel and the Revelation,” and “Great Controversy” are needed now as never

before. They should be widely circulated because the truths they emphasize will open many blind eyes.

“Many of our people have been blind to the importance of the very books that were most needed. Had tact and skill been shown in the sale of these books, the Sunday law would not be where it is to-day.”—Review and Herald, June 1, 1905.

“Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” 2 Chron. 20: 20, last part.

There are over one hundred counties in this great Empire State of the South practically or wholly unworked for the above-named books. “O, where are the reapers?” Who wants a part in circulating the printed page in this State?

If there are those who are interested in the canvassing work in Georgia, they would do well to correspond with Elder Geo. W. Wells, Alpharetta, Ga., or with the writer. ARTHUR L. MANOUS. 375 Woodward Ave., Atlanta, Ga.
