Canvassing Virginia for Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation

By H. A. R.

Virginia.

TIMBERVILLE, FEB. 20.—Between this place and Staunton, I have for some time been canvassing for “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” presenting the truth from house to house. I have now sold twenty copies of the above-named work. At Mt. Crawford I gave one discourse on the prophecies, showing that the book of Revelation is a companion part of the book of Daniel, and dwelling on the truth of interpretation. I also showed that the figurative language of the Bible must be interpreted by the Bible in general. The discourse was well received, and I think will open the way for the introduction of “Thoughts.”

To me there are some features of encouragement in the introduction of this most valuable work; were it not for the present deplorable condition of our finances in this State, quite a number, I know, could be sold. Staunton, a city of seven or eight thousand inhabitants, is a good point for canvassing. I have already sold four copies there, and hope to canvass the place in the future. May God direct in sowing the precious seed. H. A. R.
