GEORGIA

By J. T. Eaton

ALPHARETTA.—“If there is one work more important than another, it is that of getting our publications before the people, thus leading them to search the Scriptures.” “Some classes would be more benefited by papers and tracts than by books.” Believing the statements quoted above, we started a colporteur wagon in this State in December. In six weeks we have sold $45.87 worth of books, papers, and tracts, and have about $20 worth of orders for our next round; have given away 2,403 pages of tracts, 386 papers, taken one yearly subscription for the Signs of the Times, and held fourteen Bible readings.

When meeting the people the second time, many ask for the papers again, saying they are the best papers they ever saw. I fear that many of us do not appreciate our literature as we should, nor do we realize the influence it is exerting among the people. We want to continue this good work, but we will need help to do so. Our Conference is very small and weak. We have less than one hundred and fifty church-members in the State. We would appreciate a little help, as our wagon is only partly paid for. If we could get even a few dollars just now, it would be a great help to us. We need tracts and late, clean copies of our papers. Many can furnish these with little cost, and thus hasten the coming of the Lord. J. T. EATON.
