Christ Will Teach What to Say—Many are sad and discouraged,
weak in faith and trust. Let them do something to help someone more
needy than themselves, and they will grow strong in God’s strength.
Let them engage in the good work of selling our books. Thus they will
help others, and the experience gained will give them the assurance
that they are God’s helping hand. As they plead with the Lord to
help them, He will guide them to those who are seeking for the light.
Christ will be close beside them, teaching them what to say and do.
By comforting others, they themselves will be comforted.
Angels Accompany and Prepare Way—I ask you, dear Christian
workers, to do what you can to circulate the books that the Lord has
said should be sown broadcast throughout the world. Do your best to
place them in the homes of as many people as possible. Think of how
great a work can be done if a large number of believers will unite in
an effort to place before the people, by the circulation of these books,
the light that the Lord has said should be given them. Under divine
guidance, go forward in the work, and look to the Lord for aid. The
Holy Spirit will attend you. Angels of heaven will accompany you,
preparing the way.—

The Consecration God Requires—We need canvassers, evan-

obstructions are coming in to divert men from evangelistic work, and
thus hinder the work of God.... I warn those who should be in the
canvassing work, circulating the books so much needed everywhere,
to be careful not to turn from the work that the Lord has called them
to. Let not the men that God has called to do gospel work become
entangled with business perplexities. Let them keep their souls in the
atmosphere most favorable to spirituality.... God wants every worker
who claims to believe the present truth to consecrate himself, body,
soul, and spirit, to the work of seeking to save the perishing souls
around him.—

City Colporteurs Needed—Books containing the precious light
of present truth are lying on the shelves of our publishing houses.
These should be circulated. Canvassers are needed who will enter our
