Chapter 6—A Call for Canvassers 1*Published in leaflet and widely circulated. [Also published in The Review and Herald; June 2, 1903.]
The canvassing work should no longer be neglected. Many times I have been shown that there should be a more general interest in our canvassing work. The circulation of our literature is one very important means of placing before men and women the light that the Lord has committed to his church to be given to the world. The books sold by our canvassers open to many minds the unsearchable riches of Christ.CEv 30.1
