Belleville, Ontario.

By George A. King

DURING the past three months I have been canvassing in Ontario. This is a hard field, but prejudice seems to be giving way. I have obtained one hundred and twenty-five subscribers for our periodicals; and in subscriptions and for book sales have received $145. Many are becoming interested in the truth, and some have expressed themselves satisfied with our position on the Sabbath question. Some have subscribed for Good Health and the Signs too. We believe that good will result. I am now canvassing in the City of Belleville, a very central place, with good success. We have learned by experience that a judicious circulation of our reading matter is necessary in British territory before attempting to hold meetings, as people are often prejudiced against anything coming from the States without knowing what they are prejudiced against; and they are at first slow to believe that our views come from the Bible. Geo. A. King.
