It is not easy for colporteurs to follow up their work by keeping in touch with those who buy the Scriptures, but they frequently manage to do so, and sometimes with encouraging results. A colporteur in Ceylon told of such an instance.
“I have known a Hindu young man now for some time. He had bought first the gospels and then a copy of the New Testament from me. I go to see him very often, and we read a chapter from the New Testament and then we pray together. He has a great desire to be baptized but he has so many difficulties to face. Recently when I went to see him he told me that whatever might happen he would not be discouraged, and that he would be baptized soon, and wished me to pray for him.”
