An Experience

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D. C. · Nov 10, 1904

A STATE agent sends the following note through Brother H. H. Hall:—

“I went to —— a few days ago to start a canvasser for ‘Controversy.’ One of the sisters told me that books would not sell in ——; for she had tried it, and knew whereof she spoke. Well, I smiled, and said I would not be satisfied until I had given it a trial. Next morning I took the ‘Controversy’ prospectus, and started with the new canvasser after asking God to help us. In eight hours we had $37.50 worth of orders in sight of the sister’s house. Her husband then said he believed he would canvass, too. So the next day I went out with him, and we got $63.50 worth in seven hours. The next day the brother himself took seven dollars’ worth, and the other man with whom I was working took twelve dollars’ worth. I tell you, Brother Hall, I know that it is good for a State agent to buckle on the harness, and show how it is done.”
