G― Council School. Near Sheffield.
Dr. Heyman Wreford, — Dear Sir. — Many thanks for Testaments received this morning. The children are delighted with them. They will be of great value here I am sure. I am posting 6/- on to you, as I am sure you will be able to make good use of it. If you will send the forms along I will get the children to sign them and will return them to you If you can supply more Testaments we should be greatly pleased, as many other children in the school are anxious to have one. I will let you know the number needed if you can let us have still more. Again thanking you and wishing you every success in your great work. — I remain, yours truly,
M. S. H.
One Hundred Testaments Wanted
Birmingham.
Dear Dr. Wreford, — I should be very glad if you could spare me another parcel of Testaments. I have nearly another one hundred names of boys and girls; in fact, by God’s love and grace the children are coming from a wider sphere, having come in contact with many other children who have received Testaments. I could indeed take a lot more names, but I refrain lest I should disappoint. But I shall be very thankful for any you could send me. It is laying up treasure in heaven, and the blessings of God that rests upon those who work with a single eye to His glory will always be many.... I pray He may continue to bless each of you richly, and that we all may learn to rest passively in His keeping, yet always abounding in the work of the Lord. — Yours in His happy service, J. F.
Death Warning
Threat in Letter to a Protestant Minister
“The Rev. Duncan Cameron, of Kilsyth, has received what purports to be a letter containing a threat of death from the Irish Republican Army. He has recently taken an active part in anti-Catholic propaganda in Scotland. The letter stated: ‘If you persist in talking to R.C.’s you may shortly find that it is not meek and mild Socialists you are up against, but the useful gunmen who were in High Street on 4th May. We warn you finally to keep your teeth on your tongue. If you would live and die a natural death, sit tight.’”— “Westminster Gazette,” March 30th
This insolence of unbelief can only be answered by the Word of God.
Great Blessing
Bermondsey.
Dear Dr. Wreford, — Many thanks for parcel of Testaments sent me last week. The children were very pleased with them and promised to read them daily.... My boy prints the names and addresses in each Testament of the recipients. I am pleased to tell you the Lord is working in our midst at Bermondsey. As you know, four dear lads have recently been brought to the Lord, my own boy among them.... The children’s meetings are still growing, 80-85 being present on Wednesday last, sitting very quiet and intensely interested in the recounting of the story of the Cross. Pray for us. We need your prayers, for it’s the power of believing prayer that brings down the blessing. God bless you in your work for Him. Thanking you again for your-kind interest and help to us in the work among the young. —Yours in our soon coming Lord, G. W. A.
A Testament For Every One
Carlisle Street School.
Dear Doctor, — I once again thank you most heartily on behalf of my boys for the parcel of Testaments which have been distributed to the boys who have signed the forms. I have-very great pleasure in enclosing a 10inote, which the staff send you to cover the cost of portages. When making application I omitted our Standards 1 and 2, thinking they were small boys, but since they have seen the older ones’ Testaments I am besieged by them asking for one. Is it too much for you to do for me, please, if I ask for another 120 to complete the school? Then every boy in the school will have either one of your Testaments or one of his own. Trusting you will be able to consider my further request and assuring you of our appreciation of your generous gift. — I am, yours faithfully, J. E. H.
After Many Days
Canada.
Dear Dr. Wreford, Brother in Christ, — For some time I have kept $40 awaiting the Lord’s mind as to how He would have it used. Its history is this. Some years ago a Christian Armenian, who out here goes by the name of Mr. C―, was in straitened circumstances living on a farm a few miles out of town. It was winter (and you know we have it very severe out here), and he was unable to get his house fixed so as to render it fairly habitable for his wife and child. The Lord had sent me $30 from Victoria, but as we did not then need it for present use, I gave it to our brother in his need. During the war he became a soldier, and was at the Front, but God brought him through safely. Since then he has spent most of his time in Winnipeg, where he still lives, and appears to be doing fairly well in earning a living. Some time ago I received a nice letter from him saying he did not forget what we had done for him and asking me to accept the $40, as the Lord was good to him in the things of this life. Now, I do not wish to use a cent of this for myself, but for the Lord, and as I know the Armenians are in need for soul and body it has occurred to me that you could use it in sending Bibles to them and in relieving any cases of bodily need among some of those who, as believers, are dear to God. So will you please accept the money for the Lord’s sake? You may remember my name in connection with Mrs. H., of Bournemouth, and 1,000 copies of “When is Christ Corning?” which you sent to California. Mrs. H. sends me some copies of “A Message from God,” which 1 can make use of out here. May the Master encourage you, dear brother, and, less you in His service. —Yours’ affectionately in His service, J. R.
