One Way in Which Ministers Can Help in the Sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons”
By P. T. Magan
Not long ago I wrote to a number of our leading ministers in the Lake Union Conference, telling them that the funds were coming in quite slowly from the sale of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and that if something was not done in the near future to hasten the sale of the book, we should have to suspend our building operations at Emmanuel College for lack of means. Elder E. A. Curtis, of Illinois, was busy with other work when he got the letter. This work was of such a nature that he could not leave it to take up active work in the field for “Christ’s Object Lessons,” but he immediately began to devise ways of doing something. He called together the responsible members of three Illinois churches, and told them the situation. These men promised to go to work again, and to send in all the money they could from the sale of the book. He also wrote a letter to a number of librarians in his district, and got them all to pushing this work in their respective territories. As a result, considerable money has come into the tract society, and has been forwarded to Emmanuel College. Cannot other ministers who are situated as Elder Curtis is do likewise? Every little helps. It will take a long pull and a strong pull and a pull all together; but it can be done, and in God’s name it will be done.
