Nebraska Conference Sells Christ's Object Lessons
By Geo. M. Brown
We are all busy in this conference, and are having a precious experience. At our State meeting held at College View, April 15-17, plans were laid for an immediate advance in selling “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Learning that ten thousand books remained to be sold by this conference, we unanimously decided that we would sell them before we began our tent work. The workers were divided among the seven districts in the conference, and all went to work with a will. Every church that has had the matter presented to them, have taken their quota of books, and more than half of the entire ten thousand books which we had to dispose of have now been ordered, and most of them are in the hands of the churches. The money is beginning to come in, and we expect that this good work will continue until every book is sold, which we hope to see accomplished by the first of July. One brother writes, “I had remarkable success in selling the six copies of ‘Christ’s Object Lessons.’ Those who bought are among the leading men of this State.” This brother, his wife, and her sister have already sold twenty-four books. The wife of Governor Savage ordered a copy. She said it was an excellent book, and thought she would want three or four copies. Space will not permit us to relate the success that has rewarded our efforts, or the many interesting experiences which come to those engaged in the work. Never has anything so stirred all our people and set them to work as has this movement to sell “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Over one hundred students of Union College spent part of one week in the work, and sold, on an average, about two and one half books each. Special permission was obtained from the authorities of Lincoln for the students to engage in this work without securing the customary license. This illustrates the wonderful way in which the Lord is going before us in this work. We expect soon to be able to join with our sister conferences in singing the jubilee song of freedom from the debt which has been so long crippling our college.
