Tracts and Pamphlets—The canvasser should carry with him tracts, pamphlets, and small books to give to those who cannot buy. In this way the truth can be introduced into many homes.—Testimonies for the Church 6:338 (1900). (CM 140.1) MC VC

More Decided Efforts for Religious Books—Canvassing for our publications is an important and most profitable evangelistic work.... While we have said much in regard to canvassing for the health books,—and we still feel that we should circulate these books,—yet more decided efforts should be made to carry our important religious books to the people. Our publications can go to places where meetings cannot now be held. In such places the faithful evangelistic canvasser takes the place of the living preacher.—Letter 14, 1902. (CM 140.2) MC VC
