We are very much in need of sound Gospel tracts, at once, or back numbers of “Message from God” and “Gospel Gleanings.” The expense of re-printing is very great now, and we can only undertake it as means allow. We want to reach the hearts of those who can help us in this way, either by sending us such books, as “Come to Jesus,” “A Saviour for You,” “Safety, Certainty and Enjoyment,” “The Sinner’s Friend,” and others of a similar character, or the means to purchase them. “The fields are white to the harvest”; we have abundance of opportunity, open doors on every hand. Help us with your prayers.
Mr. J. J. Piper
From a little book published by Mr. Piper called “Declare His Doings: A Retrospect of the Great War, 1911-1918,” I extract the following:—
“In addition to the various parcels of literature kindly sent along from time to time by the Lord’s servants for the use of the troops, tens of thousands of copies of the Scriptures, and upwards of a million Gospel tracts, have been dispatched in packets and in parcels, the latter alone numbering 1,600 being mainly packed and taken to post by my beloved wife and fellow-helper in this blessed service and labor of love.... If at times, by reason of physical weakness, I have been weary in (not of) the work, my heart has been made glad and my spirit revived by the felt consciousness of the prayers of the people of God on my behalf, at the remembrance of Gal. 6:9,9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:9) and the thrice-blessed promise of 2 Cor. 12:9,9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9) ‘My grace is sufficient for thee, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.’”
I wish I had more room to quote more fully from this little book, but in other numbers of the “Message” I hope to do so. I hope also to give extracts from letters received by Mrs. Piper, showing the deep appreciation shown to the great work for God this devoted servant of Christ was permitted to do.
If any wish to communicate with Mrs. Piper, her address is 2, Canterbury Road, West Worthing.
