Six Months and a Half.

By W. H. Saxby

FROM October 22, last, myself and wife and uncle were engaged in the canvassing work in southern Kentucky, and notwithstanding the interest in the presidential election last fall, the exceptionally cold and stormy winter, and the close times in money matters, we delivered as follows: 215 copies of "Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation," (mostly library binding), 272 "Sunshine at Home;" obtained 131 subscribers for the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, for short term, 235 "Sunshine" and SIGNS for three months, 54 "Sunshine" and SIGNS for six months, five persons took the SIGNS one year without "Sunshine;" 33 took Good Health one year, with premium; sold 3 "Man's Nature and Destiny," 3 Vol. 4 "Great Controversy," and 2 "Early Writings," and a few dollars' worth of pamphlets and tracts. Another brother delivered in ten weeks, this spring, 300 "Sunshine," accompanied with that number of SIGNS for three months. All are especially interested in Sister White's pieces from the first. Truly the Lord is ready to bless and do a great work with our publications in Kentucky.

We now expect to pitch two tents in Hopkins County—the second county in which we canvassed. May the Lord bless the seed sown is our prayer. We are of good courage.
