Canvassing Work in Ohio District No. 4
By Wm. Beebe
For the last few weeks I have been distributing tracts, selling Annuals, and getting subscribers for our publications. The Lord has greatly blessed my efforts; and I have been able to sell an Annual in every house, bank, store, or shop visited, besides getting a good number of subscribers. Last Friday I took a package of Annuals, intending to go down on one side of West Main St. and back on the other side. I did not get the length of one block before all were sold; and by that time they became so anxious to buy that I sold one tract each on tobacco, pork, and the Sabbath. My labor was not only successful, but pleasant also. I was treated with the utmost kindness. Our publications command respect among the intelligent, and such persons are anxious to know concerning our faith. I hope to devote all my time during the month of February to this branch of the work; but I shall not be able to canvass more than four or five towns—perhaps Norwalk, Monroeville, Milan, Wakeman, and Oberlin. Will not some of the young men in Clyde give me a helping hand, and canvass Fremont and Sandusky City? Brethren, this is a good work, and a good field to work in; and the fruit is ripening. Who will respond?
