Encouraging Canvassing Reports for Patriarchs and Prophets
VERY encouraging reports are coming in from those who have attempted to introduce “Patriarchs and Prophets” to their neighbors who attend Sunday school. A sister in Illinois writes us as follows:— “This afternoon was the first opportunity I had for going out. I began my work about half-past two, and before six o’clock I had sold three books,—two library binding, and one in the cheapest cloth. I went out again after supper, but did not sell any books. I had some very pleasant visits. One of the persons who bought the book is a leading physician in town, one a druggist, and the other a furniture dealer. Of course I may not be so fortunate as to sell any more, but I am going to do my very best, and that is all I can do. I expect to do thorough work in canvassing the town. I enjoy showing the book to people; for I am thoroughly in love with it myself, and I know that it is a book the people need.”
