Queensland Tract Societies Prosper Despite Drought
In the Colony of Queensland, Australia, there has been a drought continuing about five years, and our agents have passed through very trying experiences; but the Lord has raised up some good men, having faith in Him, who have conquered the obstacles, and kept the work moving. A letter just received from Brother J. Johansen,15general canvassing agent, contains the following interesting item: “You will be glad to hear that the work of our tract societies is still prospering. I received the summary from Queensland last night. Their sales for the month amount to $2,683. All the workers are of good courage.” This report is from a small conference having a population of about five hundred thousand and a membership of 222. There are twelve canvassers in the field. This is another illustration of the great truth that success is more dependent upon faith and industry than upon the size of the territory, the membership of the conference, or the number of canvassers.
