A
GOOD
TESTIMONY.
I
am
glad
to
have
the
privilege
of
reporting
through
your
pages
that
I
have
entered
the
canvassing
work
again
after
having
been
out
of
it
for
some
time.
I
know
that
this
is
the
Lord’s
work,
and
I
am
glad
to
have
a
part
in
it.
I
take
up
the
work
now
with
greater
courage
than
ever
before,
because
I
am
sure
the
Lord
is
with
me,
and
is
leading
me
by
his
Holy
Spirit.
I
have
had
some
precious
ex-
periences
the
past
two
weeks.
Re-
cently
while
canvassing
in
Wyomis-
sing,
a
suburb
of
the
city
of
Reading
where
some
of
the
retired
business
men
live,
I
stopped
at
one
house
where
there
were
three
women
baking.
I
went
in,
and
when
I
introduced
my
book
they
said
they
had
no
time
to
look
at
it;
but
I
talked
to
them
about
the
book
and
the
precious
truths
of
the
Bible,
while
they
went
on
with
their
baking,
until
they
became
very
much
interested,
and
one
of
them
was
moved
to
tears.
When
I
left
they
asked
me
to
come
back
soon
again
and
talk
to
them
about
the
Bible.
Then
I
went
on
and
came
to
a
large
mansion,
I
stopped
and
looked
at
it,
but
my
courage
failed
me,
and
I
passed
on.
But
I
felt
convicted
be-
cause
I
knew
that
I
ought
not
to
pass
by
any
house,
and
the
thought
came
to
me
that
they
could
not
do
more
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
than
say
no;
so
I
returned
and
went
up
to
the
door,
asking
the
Lord
to
open
the
way
for
me,
and
I
was
pleas-
antly
received
and
went
in
and
took
their
order
for
“Coming
King.”
They
were
so
much
interested
in
the
Bible,
and
asked
so
many
questions,
that
they
kept
me
there
talking
to
them
from
ten
o’clock
in
the
morning
until
half
past
two
in
the
afternoon,
When
I
went
to
deliver
the
book,
I
could
hardly
get
away
from
them.
They
seemed
so
hungry
for
the
truth
that
it
seemed
they
could
not
get
enough.
I
promised
that
I
would
come
again
and
hold
a
Bible
reading
with
them.
This
experience
has
given
me
fresh
courage,
and
I
relate
it
for
the
en-
couragement
of
others.
Let
us
not
fear
to
go
to
any
house,
for
we
will
find
some
of
God’s
precious
jewels
in
the
mansions
of
the
rich
as
well
as
in
the
hovels
of
the
poor.

ITEMS
OF
INTEREST
VIRGINIA.
—
Elder
R.
D.
Hottel
went
to
Nor-
folk
last
week
to
connect
with
the
tent
at
that
place.
—FElder
A.
C.
Neff
was
called
to
Lynchburg,
September
4,
on
business
pertaining
to
the
work
at
that
place.
—Elder
Purdham,
of
Lynchburg,
writes:
“
Qur
meetings
are
excellent,
and
I
am
sure
we
are
at
the
right
place
again.”
—The
beautiful
little
church
on
Park
Avenue,
Lynchburg,
has
been
purchased,
which
will
give
the
church
there
a
permanent
place
for
meetings.
—
There
was
donated
to
the
tract
society
twenty
copies
of
“Christ's
Object
Lessons.”
If
any
one
can
use
one
or
more
copies,
we
shall
be
glad
to
receive
orders
for
them.
The
price
is
$1.25
cash.
They
will
be
sent
at
that
price
prepaid.
—The
Israelites
had
to
go
back
into
the
wilderness
in
order
to
trust
God;
their
experiences
were
written
for
us;
let
us
not
turn
back
into
the
wilderness
of
sin
when
we
have
come
so
near
the
promised
land.
—It
is
just
as
important
that
we
fill
the
place
God
has
for
us
as
it
was
for
Moses
to
fill
the
place
God
had
for
Zz.

—-Elder
Bicknell
will
unite
with
Elder
Dexter
in
following
up
the
in-
terest
in
Brownfield
awakened
by
the
tent
effort.
—P.
F.
Bicknell,
E.
C.
Taylor,
R.
T.
Hobbs,
C.
H.
Harmon,
Wm.
R,
McLaughlin,
comprise
the
new
confer-
ence
committee,
—Sister
M.
E.
Manson
will
engage
in
the
canvassing
work,
and
we
hope
that
scores
of
others
will
join
the
band
of
workers
for
God
in
this
line
of
activity.
—We
hope
the
orders
for
“
Christ’s
Object
Lessons”
will
flow
in
freely,
and
that
the
blessings
promised
will
be
realized
by
every
individual
in
the
conference.
—Edith
Bicknell
has
gone
to
South
Lancaster
to
begin
the
fall
term
in
the
Academy.
We
think
that
Maine
will
be
well
represented
the
coming
year
in
the
school.
—We
wonder
how
many
will
decide
that
God
is
calling
them
individually
to
the
canvassing
field.
When
thou
hearest
a
voice
behind
thee
saying,
““
This
is
the
way,
walk
ye
in
it,”
do
not
hesitate
to
obey.
—Sister
Cornelia
Snow,
from
Blaine,
was
granted
a
missionary
license
to
do
Bible
work,
She
will,
however,
engage
in
the
canvassing
work
for
a
time.
In
company
with
Cassie
Reed
she
will
make
Rumford
Falls
her
field
of
labor
for
a
few
weeks.
