Attractive Books

By Editor

For Home Selling

Particular attention has been given, of late, to the preparation and publication of an attractive line of easy-selling books for our home workers. The term, home workers, applies to a large class whose home duties will not admit of them leaving home for any great length of time, but who can spend a few days or a week from time to time, introducing easy-selling books, and other good home reading to their neighbors.

We feel sure that the Great Home Family have as much interest in the message, and are just as willing to work for its advancement, when they have opportunity, as those who are so situated that they can give their entire time. To help you improve the opportunities in the best way, and to make your work as easy as possible, this class of attractive, illustrated books has been provided, which sell very readily without much studied effort.

The General Conference Publication Committee recognize the importance of this line of work, and recommend it as one of the prominent features of the Fall Campaign, in the following words:

We look with favor upon the plan of setting aside certain small, easy-selling books for the use of those who wish to canvass in their own neighborhoods.

Notice particularly this fine list of books selected:

The Commission

How to Begin Work

It is not necessary to consult the State Agent, nor to make an extended study of these works before commencing work. Simply make arrangements with your church officers for the territory, and with the librarian for securing the books desired, and go to work at once.
