“INTO ALL THE WORLD”

By H. H. Hall

This is a photograph of the first shipment of Spanish Seventh-day Adventist books into Salvador, Central America. It is going to our colporteur and evangelist, Mr. J. L. Brown.

Mr. Brown received his education in Fernando Academy, southern California, canvassing during vacations to pay his way. About eight years ago, he went to Mexico as a gospel colporteur. From there he was asked to go to old Spain to open the colporteur work. This he did very successfully, their sales for the past ten months being $11,000 gold. These years of experience have taught him the value of gospel literature. Therefore as he enters this new field, he arranges for a shipment of more than half a ton to meet him at the capital.

This is but one in a series of interesting items showing how widely our publications are being distributed. Last week, nearly five tons of Danish books were shipped to Christiania, Norway. At the same time, the first freight order for Spanish books to the republic of Guatemala was made to Colporteur C. F. Innis, Guatemala City.

An order just received from Australia, for English books, approximates fourteen tons.

The sales at our Kansas City office for September were $30,000 — a little more than twice those of the same month in 1914.

We have received a shipment of 1,500 Finnish “Great Controversy” from Helsingfors, Finland, which, although five months on the way, has arrived in good condition.

These items are evidences of the favor with which our gospel literature, containing as it does the meaning of the events of the times, is received throughout the world.
