Extracts from a Letter

Listen from:
I thank you very heartily for the reward you sent me. I received it on S—, and I hope the Lord will use it in some way in bringing me more closely in His tender care. How I do thank the Lord for being so merciful to me a sinner. But these are the people that Jesus wants, for He came not to call the righteous.
“O happy day, O happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away.”
How joyfully I can sing this. I am released from my heavy burden, for He bore all. Hoping you will put in a word of prayer for our Sunday school and sick ones. I have taken great interest in the ‘Messages of Love’ questions.”
“It is a pleasure to me to write to you, and to tell you how well I enjoy searching the Scriptures. I am happy to tell you how nicely our school here is growing. We have nice lessons taught us, and the children seem to be ready to repeat their verses, and I trust the Lord will reveal Himself to these little ones in their youthful days, that if He spares them to grow older they will learn to fear Him.
I often look around, and see the little ones and wish that I had loved Jesus before I did. But now I have proved. His great love to me for a few years, and pray that my little friends will learn to love Him too.
Now I must close my letter with love to the schools in your country, and asng them to remember us in their prayers. Love to all the dear ones. From —.”
“I have found my answers again and I feel blest by doing so. I found them by myself after the rest had gone to bed.”
