Accuracy in Reporting

By J. B. Blosser

Of Daniel it was said by the “presidents and princes” who sought to find fault with him, “We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel;” “forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.” This reveals to us that Daniel was a man who had learned to be accurate in his business affairs. No doubt this is written “for our admonition” who have business to do for the Lord, or even for an earthly government, as was his.

Now, can we canvassers learn a lesson from this concerning the weekly reports of our work? I believe we can. The data called for in the blanks are all necessary for the proper carrying on of the work of publishing and handling the books; so, if the canvasser cannot see the necessity of filling in all the items, he should remember that his fellow laborer can. No item should be left out that is called for, that it may be said of you, “We shall not find any occasion against this canvasser.”
