The above are designated as canvassers, to make a specialty of THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES and the HEALTH REFORMER, clubbing them with the new “Way of Life,” Sunshine Series, &c. “Drafted, are we?” Oh! no, no! only selected, and urged to prepare to enter the field at once, or obtain a substitute. We have selected such as we hoped could and would leave home to do the Lord’s work. The way is open just the same for any others who may feel a burden of the work.
We have placed first on the list in each district the director, who will have an oversight of the work, and through whom all the business will be done. Any others in the several districts who wish to engage in the work should report themselves to the directors, who will assist them in obtaining the necessary outfit. Do you say that you cannot make the sacrifice, that you must needs labor for the support of your family? In reply we would say that arrangements will be made to take this out of the way of efficient, consecrated workers. If possible, the canvassers must be obtained at any reasonable sacrifice on the part of the T. and M. Society and Conference.
Do you inquire how to go about the work? Read the REVIEW carefully, and appeal to your director for definite instructions. Directors will order through the president, “Way of Life,” “Sunshine Series,” Receipt Books, &c., as their agents need.
Come, brethren, let not this good work lag for want of men. Think of the love of God in sending you eternal truth. Think of the value of these precious truths to yourselves. Think of the multitudes groping in darkness all around. Think of the short time to labor, and the awful day of wrath in the near future. Think how these periodicals may prove a blessing to your fellows, both here and hereafter, and with these great thoughts filling your souls, go forth with prayer and zeal to sow the good seed of the kingdom.
