NOTES FOR CANVASSERS.

By Mrs. Andrew Cobb

I HAVE canvassed whenever I had opportunity. One lady said, while looking at “Bible Readings,” “It is the deepest book I ever saw; just what I have been wanting for years.” A doctor said of “Coming King:” “I want that book; it contains the most information I ever read in one book.” He asked who was the author, and to what denomination he belonged. When told that the author is a Seventh-day Adventist, he said, “It makes no difference; I want that book.” I have had some grand and glorious experiences while canvassing. I have seen God’s power manifested in answer to prayer in taking orders, and also for the afflicted. I would say to our canvassers: Sing wherever you can. People like music, especially the aged. Sing our good spiritual hymns. Brother White used to say they were the only hymn books we should need till the Lord comes. I strongly believe we are to see more of our prayers answered, and more wonderful works performed.

A boy came to me the other day, saying, “Haven’t you a new book?” I showed him “Patriarchs and Prophets.” He gave me an order, and bought a hymn book, also a Bible, a copy of “Bible Readings,” “Coming King,” “Making Home Happy,” and “Child’s Poems.” Praise God for it.
