Good News “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things” (Romans 10:15). William Elbert Robinson (Robby) was a missionary to Guatemala in the early 1900’s, and a very good friend and coworker of Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translations. As a young man, and having been married less than three years, he drowned during a swim that the two men were enjoying in Lake Atitlan one afternoon. On his tombstone were engraved the following words. W. E. Robinson Bearer of Good News Robby, as he was best known, had worked very closely with Cameron Townsend in bringing the gospel to the Cakchiquel Indians, giving them their written language, their first school, and a translation of Mark’s Gospel in their native tongue. His death was quite a blow to Cameron. What would be put on your grave or mine in the event of a sudden or untimely death? Could it be said that were the bearers of good news? Paul in preaching at Antioch could say: “We declare unto you glad tidings” (Acts 13:32).
