I bought a great quantity of large Bibles, and not knowing how best to dispose of them, I waited upon God, and He led me to send them all to the chaplain of “The Missions to Seamen.” They went by rail in two boxes, and a few days after I received the following letter: ―
Dear Dr. Wreford, — Ever so many thanks for the two boxes of Bibles Which arrived today. They are most valuable, and will serve as Scriptures in our Institutes at F. and P.―also afloat in cabins and forecastles. Be assured we shall make a good use of them and may the Lord greatly bless the distribution.
This is the finest haul of Holy Writ I have received during my 31 years’ ministry here―renewed thanks, ―Yours most gratefully,
C.A.W.
Thank God they are to be scattered abroad, and read on land and on the seas.
