We were much grieved at the great delay in the production of the December “Message from God” owing to the illness of the printers. We feared that it would seriously affect the Christmas giving of our friends towards our Testament fund. But the first letter we opened on January 1St encouraged us in our belief that God would overrule everything for our blessing. The letter came froth a dear friend in New Zealand, and this was the message he sent:—
“Dear Brother in the Lord Jesus,
“I was thinking of your work among the boys at the Front and in camp, etc. I made out a money order form to send you five pounds; then I felt the Lord leading me to make it ten pounds; so suppose you must be in need of the ten pounds. Please accept the same for sending Pocket Testaments to the lads and men at the Front, or to any returning in need of same. The entrance of God’s Word giveth light. We are praying that many thousands may be saved through reading God’s precious word. May God continue to own and bless your labor for Him; your work is for eternity, and you are serving a Good Master. (1 Cor. 15:5858Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58).) ―Yours in Him, through grace, E. M.”
