Success with the Small Books
By Editor
SEVERAL hundred copies of the new prospectus, containing samples of a list of beautiful character-building books for the home, are now in use, and the reports indicate excellent success on the part of those who are thus introducing these books to the people at this book-buying season of the year. "Satan has two plans with reference to the rising generation," writes one of our general agents. "The first is to prohibit them from reading anything; and if that does not succeed, to fill their minds and hearts with impure literature. We can not prevent such literature from being written or circulated or read, but we may counteract its influence by placing good literature in the homes of the people." This is what an army of workers are now doing with the handy new prospectus. Some recent reports are as follows: 7 days, 83 orders, value $55.75.
7 hours, 18 orders, value $8.00—"I like my prospectus very much."
4 days, 49 orders, value $38.75—"I took an order in every home I visited except three."
12 hours, 21 orders—"The Lord has blessed me in my work." This last report is for the following books:
3 "New Testament Primer," cloth;
2 "New Testament Primer," board;
1 "Best Stories," board;
1 "Bible Child Life;"
1 "Making Home Happy;"
3 "His Glorious Appearing," cloth;
2 "Paradise Home," cloth;
5 "Paradise Home," board;
3 "Steps to Christ," cloth.
21 In addition to the books here listed, the prospectus has samples for—
