The canvassing work has of late progressed rather slowly in this conference. This, I believe, is due to several causes. First, the great financial depression that has caused a stagnation in all lines of business, and consequently a scarcity of money among the people; second, the limited number of books for which our territory has not already been canvassed. Nearly the whole country has been worked with such books as “Great Controversy,” “Bible Readings,” “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” “Life of Christ,” etc. The only book we have at present is “The Coming King,” for which nearly all our canvassers are working.

Several weeks ago the Christiania church united in a season of prayer in behalf of the canvassers, that God would work on the people in their behalf, and that the angels would go with them, and open the way for them so they might have success in selling the books that contain God’s everlasting gospel.

The seed sown here by the canvassers is springing up and bearing fruit. Here and there we hear of persons becoming interested in the truth through reading the books sold them by the canvassers. But we lack men and means to fill all these openings. We are doing our best, however, to meet these calls. Our trust is in the Lord.
