SINCE
my
last
report,
in
April,
I
have
sold
sixteen
“
Object
Lessons,”
four
“
Best
Stories,
”
and
two
copies
of
the
‘“
Ladies’
Guide.”
There
is
much
truth
in
the
statement
made
by
one
canvasser,
When
one
falls
in
love
with
the
work,
it
goes
very
easy.
Our
hearts
well
up
with
gratitude
as
people
speak
of
their
appreciation
of
such
works
as
¢
Christ
Our
Saviour,”
“
The
Mount
of
Blessing,
”
and
Patri-
archs
and
Prophets
”
having
been
sold
to
them
before.
A
copy
of
“
Christ's
Object
Les-
sons”
sold
to
some
one,
found
its
way
lately
into
the
Sunday-school
library
here.
I
ran
across
it
in
a
house
where
the
family
was
reading
it
and
liked
it
very
much.
“In
the
morn
ing
sow
thy
seed,
and
in
the
evening
withhold
not
thine
hand
;
for
thou
knowest
not
whether
shall
prosper,
either
this
or
that,
or
whether
they
both
shall
be
alike
good
"-—all
contrib-
ute
to
bringing
forth
the
harvest.

While
selling
the
¢“

Lessons
”’
for
the
past
year
and
a
half,
IT
have
not
exerted
myself
to
the
neglect
of
regular
household
duties
;
but
have
found
much
enjoyment
and
satisfac-
tion
in
placing
the
books
in
the
hands
of
others.
The
value
of
the
‘Object
Lessons”
alone,
which
I
have
sold
is
one
hundred
dollars
;
besides
two
copies
of
the
Ladies’
Guide,”
and
four
“
Best
Stories”
since
Apnl
20;
also
many
tracts
and
papers
have
been
distributed,
often
in
and
near
my
own
locality
in
the
city.
Iam
happy
to
announce
that
many
are
quite
interested.
The
people
are
ready
for
this
truth;
these
are
opportune
times
to
scatter
the
seeds.
Oh,
that
more
felt
the
bur-
den,
the
travail
of
soul
to
reach
out
a
strong
arm
to
save
the
perishing
around
our
very
doors!
Paragraphs
one
and
two
on
page
two
hundred
and
eighty
of
¢
Christ’s
Object
Les-
sons”
describe
truth
precious
to
me,
as
I
sense
the
sleepiness
that
is
over
our
people,
and
the
temptations
to
work
for
the
dollars
gained
outside
of
the
canvassers’
field
of
labor,
Alas,
for
such!
:
I
mean
to
recanvass
the
territory
soon
with
‘
Patriarchs
and
Prophets.”
