Lake Union Conference Items

THE Ohio State agent writes that he has just started three more canvassers to work. Others will begin soon. In a recent letter, the Illinois State agent says: “I went to the —— church to look after some to engage in the work. I found an intelligent Christian, about twenty-one years of age, who has a burden for the work. He will canvass for ‘Daniel and the Revelation,’ as he has studied that book considerably. Another man with a family will also engage in the work. He has been wanting to canvass for some time, but needed some one to put him at it. Both have ability, and a reputation as ‘hustlers’ in anything they undertake. I expect to stay with them until they are well started.” From Wisconsin comes the encouraging report that “all but one of those who attended the institute are staying in the field. . . . I secured a few good, solid canvassers since the institute, who will soon be in the field. Brother Johnson just completed a large delivery, in which he delivered over one hundred28per cent of his orders. The Lord is blessing the work in the State, and I want to see the good beginning kept up until the momentum attained shall take in every capable man and woman in our ranks. My time is fully occupied in looking after the work.” Michigan reports that they have almost twice as many in the work as they had last year, and that the State agent will soon place ten more in the field. Indiana’s State agent is of good courage in the work, and is planning on a vigorous campaign the remainder of the summer, visiting the canvassers, and getting recruits, and doing some actual work in the field.
