REQUISITES
FOR
SUCCESSFUL
CANVASS~
ING.
A
FEW
months
ago
a
well-known
weekly
paper,
Swecess,
offered
a
num-
ber
of
cash
prizes
to
the
individuals
who
in
a
given
time
should
secure
the
largest
number
of
subscribers
to
it.
In
a
recent
number
of
this
paper
is
a
letter
from
the
lady
who
was
the
win-
ner
of
the
third
prize.
Speaking
of
the
requisites
for
successful
canvass-
ing,
she
mentions
the
following
points:
“
First
and
foremost,
faith
in,
and
enthusiasm
for,
the
magazine
you
rep-
resent.
“It
pays
to
Be
cheerful.
Show
people
that
you
enjoy
your
work,
and
make
them
enjoy
it
make
friends.
too.
“
Don’t
be
too
insistent.
‘“
Be
business-like.
.
.
.
Say
the
thing
that
will
tell,
in
the
briefest
possible
way.
One
thing
I
wish
to
emphasize:
Don’t
plead
your
need
of
the
money,
or
any
other
personal
reason
to
induce
people
to
subscribe.
You
do
your
work
an
injustice
by
such
methods.
“The
successful
canvasser
does
not
learn
any
stereotyped
formula.
Vary
the
conversation
to
suit
the
individ-
val.
No
two
subscribers
can
be
handled
in
the
same
way.
“The
successful
canvasser
wastes
ATLANTIC
UNION
GLEANER
no
time.
The
day’s
work,
route,
etc,
should
be
carefully
planned
the
night
before.”
Add
to
these
requisites,
which
were
accounted
essential
by
one
who
was
canvassing
for
a
worldly
magazine,
those
of
a
burning
love
for
souls
and
the
wisdom
that
cometh
down
from
above,
and
you
will
see
that
to
be
a
successful
canvasser
one
needs
the
qualifications
possessed
by
both
the
minister
and
the
business
man.
Truly
“there
is
no
higher
work
than
evan-
gelistic
canvassing."

YOUNG
PEOPLE'S
WORK
“1
AM
READY.”
Tue
Lord
has
so
planned
the
human
machinery
that
notwithstand-
ing
it
may
be
in
constant
action,
there
shall
always
be
a
certain
amount
of
re-
serve
force,
something
to
call
upon
in
an
emergency.
We
can
not
breathe
out
all
the
air
from
the
lungs;
we
can
not,
unless
under
some
very
great
stimulus,
use
all
our
muscular
or
nerv-
ous
energy.
The
Lord
recognizes
that
we
are
likely
to
be
called
upon
suddenly
for
some
special
exercise
of
power,
and
he
has
made
provision
that
when
the
call
comes
we
shall
be
able
to
meet
it.
This
is
true
of
the
spiritual
life
as
well
as
the
physical.
God
looks
ahead,
sees
the
need,
and
gives
us
present
opportunities
of
grace
that
if
rightly
improved
will
prepare
us
for
the
sudden
call
to
duty.
It
is
said
of
the
Apostle
Paul
that,
the
words,
“I
am
ready”
were
con-
tinually
dropping
from
his
lips.
No
matter
what
it
was,
life
or
death,
dan-
ger
or
safety,
hardship
or
ease,
to
preach
or
to
suffer,
to
go
to
the
ends
of
the
earth
for
Christ
or
to
a
dun-
geon,
ever
the
clear
voice
rang
out:
“I
am
ready.”
The
apostle
did
not
trust
in
his
own
strength:
but
his
motto
was,
“I
(9)
337
can
do
all
things
through
Christ
who
strengtheneth
me.”
How
many
years
has
the
Lord
given
us
individually
in
which
to
be
gathering
strength
for
service
?—Ten
years,
yea
twenty,
and
yet
we
can
not
teach
a
Sabbath-school
class
unless
we
have
been
notified
a
week
or
more
ahead.
We
can
not
be
persuaded
to
act
as
a
substitute
teacher
just
for
that
day.
1
know
the
refusal
does
not
come
from
unwillingness,
but
rather
from
a
feeling
of
unworthiness
and
incapability
due
especially
to
a
lack
of
definite
preparation
for
that
day’s
work.
It
may
be,
however,
that
now
is
the
opportunity
offered
us
to
speak
a
word
which
will
mean
eternal
life
to
If
this
be
true,
can
we
afford
to
lose
the
opportunity?
Will
not
our
Father
who
knows
the
circumstances
prove
himself
true
to
his
promise
to
a
soul.
‘be
a
present
help
in
time
of
need
?
Friends
of
the
Sabbath-school,
let
us
under
God
change
our
ideas;
let
us
realize
that
God
can
make
“minute-
men’
and
women
of
us;
that
he
will
do
for
us
under
such
circumstances
what
he
could
not
do
if
we,
through
neglect,
came
before
our
class
with-
out
the
careful
preparation
he
de-
mands
of
teachers.
Our
God
will
stand
by
those
who,
from
love
for
his
children,
will
fill
in
the
gap,
and
do
the
work
of
him
who
for
some
cause
can
not
stand
in
his
place
that
day.
Does
not
every
one
who
votes
for
a
corps
of
officers
for
the
Sabbath-
school,
pledge
them
his
personal
sup-
port?
If
ever
a
superintendent
needs
the
ready
cooperation
of
the
members
of
the
school,
it
is
when
the
hour
for
the
recitation
period
has
come,
and
yet
several
teachers
are
not
in
their
places,
and
the
superin-
tendent
has
received
no
word
of
their
expected
absence.
Come
now
to
the
superintendent’s
aid.
Come
with
a
prayer
for
help,
but
come.
You
will
be
surprised
at
the
good
time
you
will
have.
David
says,
“I
have
been
young,
and
now
am
old,
yet
I
have
not
seen
the
