Christ’s Object Lessons Enterprise in Nebraska
By W. T. Bland
UNION COLLEGE, NEB., Dec. 2, 1900. DEAR BROTHER MAGAN: I am glad to receive letters from you from time to time, and am sorry that I am unable to answer as I would like. I have been very busy, however, this fall, much of my writing being done with pen and ink; so I am unable to do as much work by correspondence as some of our teachers are. I am always glad to receive your letters, and to know of the progress of the work with the new book. We are endeavoring to do something with it here, and we hope that this district may do at least its part. I have written to all the district laborers within the last few days, calling their attention to the “Christ’s Object Lessons” enterprise, and sending them the little pamphlet that was issued during the summer, containing the Testimony on the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS. Nebraska, I believe, will sell a large number of13the books. You were in attendance at the State meeting in Iowa, and of course know what they are attempting to do there. I hope that they may be able to sell every book that they have voted to. I believe, also, that the canvassers will do a good work. I have heard practically nothing from the other States in the district. Lincoln is being divided into districts, and the students of the college, together with the teachers, will do their part in canvassing the city and surrounding country. We have a large number of students here at present, and a most excellent spirit is in the work. Our attendance now is about three hundred. New ones are coming in constantly.
