Plan at Woodland Academy for Selling “Christ's Object Lessons”
By J. E. Tenney
The teachers and students at the academy feel a deep interest in the important work that is now given us in the sale of “Christ's Object Lessons.” It had been a query in our minds for some time what we could do in this work. The school is twelve miles from a city; the surrounding country is thinly settled; and it seemed impossible for us to reach the homes of many of the people, and still do our school work. At a meeting of the workers of the Wisconsin Conference, held recently at Milwaukee, the question arose as to what could be done to reach our scattered brethren and sisters throughout the State who have not the privilege of Sabbath meetings or of coming in contact with those actively engaged in the work. It occurred to us that here was something that the students could do. The matter was brought before the workers, and it was decided that this part of the work should be left for the students to do by correspondence. When the matter was laid before the students and teachers, it received their hearty indorsement, and nearly all were ready to take part in the work. A list of about one hundred names was furnished the school by the Conference secretary, and these names were distributed among the students and teachers. It will be our aim not only to place a copy of “Christ's Object Lessons” in each of these isolated homes, but to seek to enlist the interest of these brethren and sisters in this glorious work. We hope by this means, through the blessing of God, to do something in the work so important for this time; and so not only help others, but receive the blessing which will come by co-operating with the Lord in the work He would have us do. Pray for the school, its students, and teachers, that each one of us may be found doing faithfully the work our Master has placed in our hands.
