THE WORK IN NEBRASKA

By N. P. Nelson

COLLEGE VIEW, NEB., Nov. 8, 1900.

DEAR BROTHER: Your kind letter has been received. Since I came home from Battle Creek, I have been organizing the Conference to work for the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” I have sent all our licentiates and Bible workers out with the book. One was out two days, and took nine orders. I have instructed the ministers to visit all the churches in their respective districts, to see that every church-member has a copy of the book for himself, and as many as he can procure to give to his friends; also to get as many of the church-members as possible to canvass for the book. We advise those who can do so to buy and give copies to ministers, so they can recommend the book to their congregations.

The State agent and one of our best canvassers give instruction in selling the book. They also go out and get others started in the work. We intend to continue this work till the middle of March. Then perhaps we shall have the licentiates and Bible workers resume their usual labor, and the general canvassers go out with the book, receiving the same discount as for any other, the remainder going to the school. We hope to have the Conference quite well worked up by that time. Two or three persons are going to towns where none of our people are. They have not been in the work before, but we pay them a little each week.

When you see Elder Morrison, he will tell you all about the plan of the Conference.

Your brother in Christ, [Signed] N. P. NELSON.
