Hastings Church Missionary Work

"In the campaign with the Temperance Instructor, delegates were chosen to visit the Sunday schools of every church in the city. One of the smallest took 160 copies, others 100, and some not so many. Over 500 copies were disposed of in this way. All seemed glad of the privilege of cooperating in this cause for saving humanity.

"Our church is divided into working bands. We have a twofold purpose in this: First, that every member may be a working member; second, that every home in Hastings shall receive our literature. We are using a large club of the Signs, which are carried from house to house by these bands. We also use the envelope plan for tracts. Others are giving Bible readings and lending our books. Literature has been placed in the public library. We have a Bible training class, so that members may be fitted for the work. We are also corresponding with a number to whom we are sending the Signs, and as a result three have come into the truth. Three others have accepted the message from reading tracts. Some are still in the valley of decision. Our aim is for each member to win at least one soul for Christ this year."
