THE following extracts are copied from an exchange:— “I am still selling that good book, ‘Patriarchs and Prophets,’ with good success. The evenings are long now, and almost every evening finds me at some fireside, explaining God’s Word to a listening family, or praying with them. I certainly enjoy these seasons, and my soul is watered and kept alive. “Thus, with ‘the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,’ in my heart, and a tired body from the walking and talking of the day, I am well prepared for sleep. So ‘he giveth his beloved sleep,’ and how sweet it is! With his angels watching over me, I ‘fear no evil.’ Then ‘he waketh [me] morning by morning’ for another day’s work. On bidding the family good-by, I am almost always invited to come again. O, it is good to work for the Lord!” “I have found out that if we ever get any one else interested, we must first become interested ourselves. We must convince the people that our book contains something which they have not; and in order to do this they must see something in us which they have not seen in any one else; that is, earnestness, the Spirit of God, and a love for their souls. Whether I sell a book or not, I show them that the book was written to save their souls, and that this is just what I am in this work for. I know it has its effect for good. Every evening about four o’clock I find a place to stay all night. I tell them I will canvass their neighbors, and I will be back. I then go to as many homes as I can before it gets dark; and after dark I return to the place where I am to spend the night. In this way I get in eleven hours every day but Friday. This early and late work proves to the people that we are in earnest, and it will prove a wonderful blessing to us both spiritually and financially. The world works early and late, and we have a greater work than they have; so let us push it with all the power that God gives us.”
