ARKANSAS

By G. W. Hardesty

The canvassers’ institute held at Black Rock, Ark., December 15-30, was well attended. Men who desired a preparation for the Lord’s work were present, and appreciated the training given. Six decided to work with “Great Controversy” the coming year, and gave it an earnest, persevering study. They are now capable of handling the book intelligently. These brethren, with several others, entered the work immediately after the close of the institute. Valuable assistance was rendered by Brother G. Phillips. The object was to give the necessary instruction required to render acceptable service in the canvassing field. Sister Ollie Oberholtzer gave a Bible study each day.

We believe that all who attended this institute made a deeper consecration to the work. We enter the work for the year with renewed zeal, and praise the Lord for a small part in the closing message.
