The idea of this “loving acrostic” was so good that I obtained Mr. S. Tomkins’ permission to publish it. I see in it great opportunities of service to God. You could send gospel messages to your unconverted friends in acrostic form, using their names. You could send texts of comfort to those in trouble in acrostic form, or to encourage laborers for Christ, etc., etc. May God grant that our dear brother’s idea may be largely developed for the glory of God and for the good of souls.
