An Inspiring Meeting

By C. C. Lewis

I ARRIVED at the Versailles, Mo., camp-ground, August 9, in time to attend a canvassers' meeting, which was a great inspiration as showing what may result when the educational missionary movement gains full headway. Here were nine Union College students relating their experiences. All were full of courage and enthusiasm. They had received the most precious lessons of their lives. The missionary idea was uppermost in their minds, as they told the experiences through which they had been blessed. They regarded their financial success as secondary. Nearly all were working for scholarships, which they will receive for delivering two hundred and fifty dollars' worth of books. The time engaged and the value of their orders are as follows: No. 1, five weeks, $146.25; No. 2, four weeks, $204; No. 3, six weeks, $245.75; No. 4, six weeks, $325.80; No. 6, seven weeks, $400; No. 7, nine weeks, $446.25; No. 8, eight weeks, $387.50; No. 9, eight weeks, $778; No. 10, fourteen weeks, $1014.
