Canvassers Called for Without Regard to Prosperity
VERY naturally our canvassers rejoice that the crops are good, and there is danger that State agents and other laborers will make this prosperity a rallying cry for new agents. We are in great need of faithful canvassers. The harvest field is ripe, and the laborers are few; yet we do not want any one to enter this service because the crops are good. Those who do will drop out when the crops are a failure. Only those men are wanted whose hearts are appealed to by the needs of a lost world. No one should enter the work while times are prosperous who would not if all the crops were a failure. Our book and periodical work will doubtless be carried forward until the message has reached all nations, but it will be carried through the trying experiences of the last days by men who have learned that their resources are in God, and who are therefore not dependent upon any outward conditions.
