YEARLY REQUESTS FOR PILGRIM VISITS

AT this season each year we ask that those desirous of Pilgrim Visits send in formal requests therefor, preferably on a post-card. We keep these on file and arrange the Pilgrim routes accordingly. We desire these yearly, because frequently conditions change greatly within one year.

Remember that no charge is made for these services. The Society pays all the Pilgrims’ traveling expenses, etc., and takes up no collections. The cost is borne by the general fund, to which many of you are or have been contributors.

It may be too late to include your place if you write when you see that a Pilgrim is headed your way, therefore, cooperate please by at once sending a 1909 post-card request, answering as many of the questions below as possible:

(a) How many Bible students reside in your vicinity?
(b) Are weekly meetings held?
(c) How many are usually in attendance?
(d) Where do you now meet? (Give full street address.)
(e) At what hours are the Sunday meetings held?
(f) Was a vote taken on the “Pilgrim” invitation?
(g) How many voted for the invitation to be sent?
(h) How many, if any, voted against the invitation?
(i) Would a suitable place be found for a public meeting?
(j) What attendance do you think could be secured for the public session by such notification and advertising as your class would give?
(k) Would a suitable place be found for semi-private meetings for the interested?
(l) Have the members of your class chosen leaders in accordance with DAWN, Vol. VI., chaps. 5 and 6?
(m) Give full names and full addresses of the two (2) to whom notices of a coming “Pilgrim” should be sent, and notify us as to any change or removal.
