The Canvasser a Gospel WorkerThe intelligent, God-fearing, truth-loving canvasser should be respected; for he occupies a position equal to that of the gospel minister. Many of our young ministers and those who are fitting for the ministry would, if truly converted, do much good by working in the canvassing field. And by meeting the people and presenting to them our publications they would gain an experience which they cannot gain by simply preaching. As they went from house to house they could converse with the people, carrying with them the fragrance of Christ’s life. In thus endeavoring to bless others they would themselves be blessed; they would obtain an experience in faith; their knowledge of the Scriptures would greatly increase; and they would be constantly learning how to win souls for Christ. {6T 321.1}

(321) Den forstandige, gudfrygtige, sandhedskærlige kolportør bør respekteres, for han beklæder en lignende stilling som en evangeliets forkynder. Mange af vore unge prædikanter og de, der bereder sig til prædikegerningen, ville, om de var virkelig omvendte, udrette meget godt ved at arbejde i kolportagen. Og ved at opsøge mennesker og vise dem vore skrifter ville de få en erfaring, som de ikke kan opnå blot ved at prædike. Når de gik fra hus til hus, kunne de samtale med folk og sprede Kristi livs vellugt. Ved således at søge at bringe velsignelsen til andre ville de selv blive velsignet. De ville opnå en erfaring i tro, deres kendskab til skriften ville i høj grad forøges og de ville stadig lære, hvorledes de kunne vinde sjæle for Kristus.
