A Year's Work in Oklahoma

By G. C. Jenks

FROM July 1, 1909, to June 30, 1910, we had sixty-seven agents in the field, some working full time, others only part of the time.

Hours worked ................. 19,885 Orders taken ................. 5,947 Helps sold for cash .......... $750.95 Value of book orders ........ 18,484.00 Bible orders, three months ... 1,311.60 Total value of all .......... $20,546.55 Number books delivered ...... 4,258 Value books delivered ....... $12,878.75

Counting five persons to a home, there are at least 21,290 individuals who have access to our books as the result of last year's efforts. The 4,258 books delivered contained 247,651 chapters, which, if reduced to pages, would be 3,846,290, or nearly two pages for every man, woman, and child in Oklahoma.

The following comparisons show the steady growth of the work: The number of books delivered in 1908 was 2,523; in 1909, 3,715; in 1910, 4,825. Value of books delivered in 1908, $7,221.70; in 1909, $10,630.85; in 1910, $12,878.75.

Surely the blessing of the Lord has attended our efforts the past year. For this we are grateful, and we go forward believing that the coming year will witness even greater results.
