One Way to Do Missionary Work
By Lottie Briggs
I WOULD like to tell you how I have been doing a little missionary work. I live in a small town, Morgan Hill, of about three hundred and fifty inhabitants, and there is a smaller town two miles away. I have been wondering how I could give my neighbors a chance to hear the truth for this time, as they will not come out to hear preaching. I sent to Brother Smouse, of Iowa, and procured some wall pockets and mottoes to sell before Christmas; and I would say for the encouragement of any one who has not tried to sell them, that I sold about nineteen dollars’ worth before Christmas, and could have sold more if I had had time. I took a large package of tracts on religious subjects along with the wall pockets and mottoes. I told them I had some leaflets that I was loaning, and asked them to look them over and see if there was anything they would like to read. Of course the majority would not take any, knowing they were Seventh-day Adventist literature, but a few seemed pleased to take them. One old man, who I thought was tired of the subject, asked if there was anything on the Sabbath question. I will call on them all again in a short time. I hope to be able to loan some books, and hold some Bible readings. Will not some of the sisters try my plan, and give all their neighbors an opportunity to read? Any one can do that.
