Literature Sales at the Minnesota Camp-Meeting

UPON arrival at the camp-ground in Minnesota, one's attention was first attracted by the splendid array of literature in the book-tent, which stood just at the entrance of the grounds. Brother H. R. Gay, the tract society secretary, and his associates spared no pains in their efforts to make a display of books and magazines that would be attractive. The accompanying cut gives a partial view of this display.

One of the special features of the sales was a combination offer of several of our large books at a reduced price, which enabled our people to get eleven dollars' worth of books, retail value, for five dollars. This combination offer was advertised from the desk in the large tent, and a number of those present availed themselves of it.

The total sales of literature during the camp-meeting amounted to $1,025, a gain of about $200 over the previous year. It was good to see our brethren and sisters taking home quantities of literature to circulate among their friends and neighbors. May the blessing of God attend this seed sowing.
