The Colporteur
County Republican by John

The Colporteur on as we have
Amemcanized him, the Colporter has
for many years been a considerable
factor in the dissemination of relig-
ious knowledge.
Originally his sole work consisted
in distributing literature, by sale or
gift, his mode of travel on foot or
horseback But along with other lines
of education the colportage work has
developed and advanced, until the col
porter is an all-round missionary;
travelling by wagon, automobile, chap
Ell car and spacious motor boat; the
only method of travel he has essay
ed DIS the air-ship. The colporter
finds his way into the most remote
hamlets and isolated communities; THE
lonely miner s cabin on the Noun
tain side win be the recipient of his
service just as readily as the pros
porous ranching community in the
Valley.
He seeks out the communities dn
which there are no Sunday schools,
and if possible organizes such-he
breaches and holds evangelistic meet
ings wherever the opportunity offers,
in fact he seeks to make the oppor-
tunity.
He is constantly ON the alent to
place the Bible i'm the homes of the
people and where there is Inability
to purchase, a copy is supplied free.
The colporter lis always ready to
render any needed service; he will
aid i'm nursing the sick, bring COM
fort to the dying and perform the
last rites for the dead
He camps wherever might overtakes

try.
When the final accounts are made
up, the work of the colporter win
not be the last on the great list of
those things which have been potent
factors in the preservation and ad-
vancment of our civilization.
One of the largest organizations de.
voting its energies to this work in
this country is the American Bap-
tist Publication Society, having In
it's service one hundred and thirty
eight men devoting their entire time
to the work.
This number includes men of var
ious nationalities, both Eurasian and
Asiatic.
There is no financial profit in the
enterprise; the sales barely meeting
the expenses not including the sal
aries of the men.
In a word, here is a vast field of
endeavor and remarkable achievement
concerning which the general public
Is but little informed; a field in
which humor and pathos are con-
stantly in the foreground; field in
which the extraordinary becomes the
commonplace and every turn of the
road reveals new situation; field
inwhich one meets human nature at
its best and worst; field in which
there is ample scope for the exercise
of every function traine. to its high
est pitch.
