Introduction
This volume has been prepared under the direction of the General
Conference Publishing Department, in response to numerous requests
for something more complete to take the place of Manual for Can-
vassers, which was prepared many years ago. Later other matter on
the colporteur work was written by the same author, and this we have
endeavored to incorporate in this edition. Credits have been given
to the bound volumes of the Testimonies and other writings as far
as the matter has been located. The portions credited to Manual for
Canvassers have not been located elsewhere. The side headings have
been added by the compilers, as an aid in quickly locating desired
information, an effort having been made to base them on the text.
While the old manual has been a great blessing to the work of the
evangelistic colporteur, undoubtedly, with the added matter and im-
provements offered in The Colporteur Evangelist, this little volume
will prove of even greater service to those who are devoting their lives
to this high calling.
