A Word To Colporteurs
The European War is causing many people to think
seriously. It so closely agrees with what they have from time to time seen in
THE WATCH TOWER publications or have heard from WATCH TOWER
subscribers, that they are now wondering if there is not some Truth connected
with our presentation respecting the Millennium and the great Time of Trouble
with which the Millennial Age will be inaugurated.
Pastor Russell's sermons on "Armageddon," "Distress of
Nations," "The Financial Outlook," etc., have also stirred many
thinking people. They are wanting to know more about these things. The present
is a very opportune time for calling to their attention the true Gospel of the
Bible, as it is presented in the six volumes of STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES.
Colporteurs who a short time ago had difficulty in getting the attention of the
more well-to-do people, are finding matters different now. They are selling the
STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES in complete sets (six volumes, and a year's
subscription to THE WATCH TOWER, for $2.65) where formerly they sold a single
volume.
Poverty or, at least, lack of wealth, has generally been a stimulant to Bible
study. Now the wealthy are feeling themselves poor, or in danger of becoming
poor by the depreciation of their stocks and bonds. These, therefore, are in a
more favorable condition to hear the Word than they have been for a long time.
The STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES are still going forth. The October average sales
amounted to over thirty-six thousand volumes. We mention this by way of
encouragement to those who are in the Colporteur work, as well as for the
benefit of those who are contemplating engaging in this most profitable section
of the Harvest work. We have the Message which the people need. We have the
heart to give it to them. And have we not confidence in God and courage
sufficient to enable us to do all reasonably within our power in the Divine
service?
