An Excellent Record

By Editor

We take pleasure in publishing from time to time individual reports from conferences where good organization, industry, enterprise, and substantial results are shown in our book work.

One of the best reports we have seen this year comes from Ohio. The report, which appears below, is a good one, isn’t it? We heartily congratulate the Ohio Conference on making such a good showing so early in the season.

It will be interesting to leaders in our book work to know that this excellent standing in Ohio was reached by the thorough training of agents from house to house. Up to this time, no institute has been held this year in Ohio. Brother Numbers, the field missionary agent, received a good idea of this method of training at the book men’s convention held in Takoma Park, in December, 1908, and he went straight home to Ohio, and put the idea into practise. We frankly confess to having a special liking for field missionary agents who get ideas, and then put them into practise.

The full report, for the week ending Feb. 26, 1909, is as follows:—
