NOW IS THE TIME.

By Editor

THE long evenings have returned, and the great majority of people spend them reading. This is the time of the year when books are most generally selected. It is the best time to sell all kinds of books. Book agents are not unwelcome to a large class of people at this season of the year. They are a convenience in the selection of books.

We have a large list of books from which one may select suitable reading for all classes in all places. All these books contain vital truths for this time, and they can be placed in the homes of the people with a little effort, and afford a fair remuneration for the services of the solicitor. The Lord has promised to supply the qualifications necessary to success in the circulation of books containing the message for this time, and He has clearly stated that the placing of these books rapidly before the public is the very work He would have His people do at this time.

We suggest that every member in every church in every Conference arrange for immediate missionary book work. If we can spend only one hour per week on the smallest and cheapest books, let us plan definitely to do that now. Let the people—the whole people—begin now to do the very work the Lord would have them do, and there will spring up a great and a mighty revival in the work in all its departments. The greatest need the cause has to-day is for a people with “a mind to work.”
