The Colporteur Evangelist
brethren and sisters, will you not now make an effort to circulate these
books? and will you not bring into this effort the enthusiasm that you
brought into the effort to sell Christ’s Object Lessons? In selling this
book many have learned how to handle the larger books. They have
obtained an experience that has prepared them to enter the canvassing
field.
Books Silent Witnesses
Sister White is not the originator of these books. They contain the
instruction that during her life-work God has been giving her. They
contain the precious, comforting light that God has graciously given
his servant to be given to the world. From their pages this light is to
shine into the hearts of men and women, leading them to the Saviour.
The Lord has declared that these books are to be scattered throughout
the world. There is in them truth which to the receiver is a savor of
life unto life. They are silent witnesses for God. In the past they have
been the means in his hands of convicting and converting many souls.
Many have read them with eager expectation, and, by reading them,
have been led to see the efficacy of Christ’s atonement, and to trust in
its power. They have been led to commit the keeping of their souls to
their Creator, waiting and hoping for the coming of the Saviour to take

his loved ones to their eternal home. In the future, these books are to
make the gospel plain to many others, revealing to them the way of
salvation
Sell Books That Give Light
The Lord has sent his people much instruction, line upon line,
precept upon precept, here a little, and there a little. Little heed is
given to the Bible, and the Lord has given a lesser light to lead men and
women to the greater light. O, how much good would be accomplished
if the books containing this light were read with a determination to
carry out the principles they contain! There would be a thousandfold
greater vigilance, a thousandfold more self-denial and resolute effort.
And many more would now be rejoicing in the light of present truth.
My brethren and sisters, work earnestly to circulate these books.
Put your hearts into this work, and the blessing of God will be with
