The dear children, loved and blessed by Jesus when on earth, loved by us today for His dear sake. What are we doing for them? We are thankful for what we have been enabled to do. God help us to do more. It is the devil’s aim today to get the children; it must be our aim to win them for Christ. I am going to print some children’s letters now, and may they speak to you one and all, so that you may help us to send them God’s Holy Word.
Reading the Testament
Sheffield.
Dear Sir, — Just a few lines thanking you very much for the New Testament I received Tuesday morning. I am delighted with it. My mother read the 23rd chapter of Acts to us out of the Testament you sent. I shall read it each day, and I shall think of one of God’s men who is trying to bring lost sheep to the fold. May God bless you always. I am, yours sincerely, S. P,

My dear Friend, — I received your very welcome letter, which I am sure did me much good to read it. I read a verse or so of my Testament each day. You asked me in your letter, “Won’t you come to Jesus?” Yes, I wilt. I believe He died for me, and that He paid the, penalty for all my sins when He suffered on Calvary. I thank you very much for helping me to find my Saviour. Will you please write to me again? — May W.
Third letter: ―My dear Friend, — How pleased I was to receive your letter and the “Travelers’ Guides.”... I am feeling happier now because my dearest friend believes too, our dear Saviour died to save us. She says she would like a Testament, so I am sending for three — one for her and two more of my friends. You always find a journey easier when you have someone to travel with you. We are praying for God’s help and guidance. I shall always look forward to hearing from you.... We are praying to God asking Him to help you in your good work. — Your little friend, May W.
