Iowa Canvassing Work

By C. W. Hardesty

Iowa

I AM glad to be able to report that the outlook for the canvassing work in Iowa this year is good. Most of the canvassers are doing well in taking orders, and the deliveries average from ninety-five to one hundred per cent of the orders taken. Several have joined our corps of workers, and others will enter the work soon. “If our people would minister to other souls who need their help, they would themselves be ministered unto by the Chief Shepherd, and thousands would be rejoicing in the fold who are now wandering in the desert. . . . Let every soul go to work to seek and to save the lost.”—Review and Herald, June 25, 1895. The Lord would have us advancing like an “army of well-drilled soldiers,” and he is now calling for volunteers. Those who are engaged in the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons” are gaining an experience that will qualify them for further usefulness in our book work. This will rally workers who possess the true missionary spirit.
