A COLLEGE PROFESSOR WENT OUT CANVASSING
for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” He felt that the way to get others to work was to go out and sell books himself. While he was canvassing, he met a woman who said that she was not a Christian, but who became deeply convicted that she ought to have “Christ’s Object Lessons.” She said she had earned a little money, and would buy the book. She talked to the professor about religious things, and they had a season of prayer. Later she wrote him a letter. Here it is, and many other women are hungering for the principles of truth:— “I like my book, and know I shall find truth that I have not lived up to in the past. For the last year I have felt that if I did not do better, we should never prosper; but I kept right on. I see that I was worse than the heathen, for they do not know the truth, but I did. I had thought that I would pray if I knew how, but every one knows how. But since you called, and talked to me so kindly, I have changed my mind, and I believe I can live a better life, and be more contented with such as I can afford, and I hope the Lord will help me to live a new life. Thank you very much for your kind words, for I sometimes think you were sent to help me take that step.”
