Housewives in the Canvassing Campaign
THE experience of two sisters has come to our notice, whose work in the campaign for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” illustrates what can be done by godly women who, under ordinary circumstances, have their hands and hearts fully employed with home duties. These sisters are busy housewives, and at best can devote but a few hours a week to canvassing. When the plan was made known to them, they threw heart and soul into it. As a result they have sold 104 copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” 120 “Steps to Christ,” 35 “Best Stories,” a large number of the special issues of Good Health and the Signs of the Times. These women have two young sons, and they, too, have caught the spirit of the campaign. The boys have sold twenty small books and a large number of the health magazines. You may feel that all these persons are natural canvassers, but such is not the case. They were obliged to overcome a natural distaste for meeting the people. It is possible to do this, and in this campaign there is an opportunity for every child of God to gain a rich experience.
