Winter Canvassing in Florida

By C. V. Achenbach

FLORIDA has many advantages for winter canvassing, chiefly because of its delightful climate, which is attracting thousands of tourists every year. Many of our good people in the South who do not do much during the winter months, could do an excellent work in our State in this branch of the Lord's work.

The Lord has spoken very definitely in regard to our relation to the work in the South, and desires that a much greater effort be put forth in behalf of spreading the third angel's message. Truly the harvest here is ripe. This coming fall and winter bids fair to be the banner year for the canvassing work. Prosperity seems to be rising everywhere. The orange crop this year promises to be especially good. Along the east coast a trolley line is projected from Jacksonville to Miami, which will be the means of enlivening up trade generally. Now is the time to work in this needy part of the Lord's vineyard. Who will respond, and come over and help us?

We are planning to hold a three-weeks' institute just preceding our camp-meeting at Orlando, from October 1-20. Those desiring further information in regard to self-supporting work in Florida should send to the writer for a copy of the leaflet entitled, "Florida; Its Resources and Opportunities." Address the writer at Orlando, Fla.
