Be Bible Students—We have a grand work to do for the Master, to
open the word of God to those who are in the darkness of error. Young
friends, act as though you had a sacred charge. You should be Bible
students, ever ready to give to every man that asketh you a reason of
the hope that is in you. By your true Christian dignity give evidence
that you know you have a truth that it is for the interest of the people
to hear. If this truth is inwrought in the soul, it will manifest itself in
the countenance and demeanor, in a calm, noble self-possession and
peace which the Christian alone can possess.—

Hold Bible Readings—As the canvasser visits the people at their
homes, he will often have opportunity to read to them from the Bible
or from books that teach the truth. When he discovers those who are
searching for truth he can hold Bible readings with them. These Bible
readings are just what the people need. God will use in His service
those who thus show a deep interest in perishing souls. Through them
He will impart light to those who are ready to receive instruction.—
