Contain Present Truth—Canvassers should be encouraged to take hold of this work, not to canvass for storybooks, but to bring before the world the books containing truth essential for this time.—Testimonies for the Church 6:315 (1900). (CM 122.1) MC VC

Give the Testing Truths—The larger books ... contain present truth for this time—truth that is to be proclaimed in all parts of the world. Our canvassers are to circulate the books that give definite instruction regarding the testing messages that are to prepare a people to stand on the platform of eternal truth, holding aloft the banner on which is inscribed, “The commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12. (CM 122.2) MC VC

I have been instructed that the canvassing work is to be revived. Our smaller books, with our pamphlets and journals, can and should be used in connection with our larger books.—Manuscript 136, 1903. (CM 122.3) MC VC
