IT IS with deep thankfulness to our: God and Father for the grace He has shown to us in not only having permitted us the privilege to spread the precious gospel through the pages of “Messages of Love” for five years, but, that He has also sustained the little paper through the hearty fellowship of our brethren, and given us to know of several who have received blessing through it.
We desire to thank the dear children for the interest they have taken in answering the questions, and thankful that there has been such an increase in number at this task; and we pray that it and the rewards that are given, will be accompanied with much blessing, as our desire is that the latter may be another means of spreading the precious truth. May you all continue to answer the questions and encourage others to do the same, as it produces better acquaintance with the Scriptures, which is of great value. The rewards will (D. V.) be sent out about the Second week in May, and if any who have been answering the questions should fail to receive one by the end of the month, let us know and we will have it traced.
As we begin Vol 6. it is with the impression that we may never complete it, as everything in connection with the state of the world, and the, church, shows us that we are at the very end, and that word comes with more power to us, “Behold, I come quickly.”
May God, in His grace, cause all who read these lines to be exercised in regard to this. If unsaved, dear reader, put off no longer coming to Christ, owning yourself, not only a sinner, but a lost one, and He will save you; and if you have already come to Him, may you seek to be watching for Him to come to receive you unto Himself, and be found in faithfulness to your Lord and your fellow-beings by living Christ before them, and giving a word for Him that may be used for their eternal blessing.
We would ask the prayers of those who are the Lord’s, that all that is done in connection with “Messages of Love” may be pleasing to Him and that He may see fit to give much blessing through the many papers that are being circulated.
