Dear Brother, — I enclose a mite towards your Testament Fund. I only wish it were a £100. The Lord’s Name be praised for all your good work. Have you ever heard the tale (true) of a little girl who, for her sixth birthday asked her father to give her two Testaments? He said, “Why do you want them, my dear?” She answered, “One for myself, dad, and one to send to India to the Mission.” Of course he gave her two. In the one she sent to India, she wrote in very large, plain type, “This is from a little girl who loves her Bible and her Saviour. She hopes that someone who receives this will learn to love the Bible and the Saviour too.” The Testament reached the hands of a young Hindu woman who could not read. She asked a Missioner to read it to her. Then she began to learn the plainly written message and was able to understand it. Afterward she read the Testament itself, with the result that she became a Christian. Twenty years afterward the child who sent it went out to India as a missionary. She was called to visit a hospital patient, whom she was surprised to find was a true child of God. It turned out that this was the very woman who had received the Testament. “So bread cast upon the waters, etc.” May, God continue to bless you in your wonderful work.
Yours affectionately, F. L. I.
Food for Thought
Think of 1,000 millions living and dying without God’ and without Jesus Christ.
One hundred thousand souls a day
Are passing, one by one, away,
In Christless guilt and gloom:
Without one ray of hope or light,
With future dark as endless night,
They’re passing to their doom.
Look at the procession of lost souls! 300 millions in India, 400 millions in China, 300 millions in other parts of the world without Christ.
