For Young Women

By Editor

WE pass on the following report from Brother R. L. Pierce, with the hope that young women not now in the work may catch the inspiration to engage in the sale of our message-filled books:—
"A few days ago we received a report from one of our youngest and most inexperienced canvassers, a young woman about eighteen years of age. This report represents her second week's work as a regular colporteur. She is working with 'Desire of Ages.' Her report is as follows:—

"As this work was done for the highest-priced book that we have, it is quite damaging evidence against the theory which some of us have held to the effect that our larger works could not be sold in the cities and towns. This young woman is the daughter of one of our oldest colporteurs, who Brother Eastman says is the man who first gave him an enthusiasm in the canvassing work. This good brother has also had his son with him in the field this summer, and you can therefore see that he believes in training his children in the right way."
