Robert Midlane, of South Shields and Stanley Robson had Testaments sent to them about February of this year. A little girl writes to me about these Testaments. She says: ―
Dear Sir, ―Do you remember supplying Robert Midlane and Stanley Robson with. New Testaments? It is about three months since. Well, a fortnight after they received them, we found Robert dead in bed, and they had letters of thanks ready to post to you. I am now writing to thank you on their behalf. I also wish to ask you if you would provide me with sixteen Testaments for my Sunday School class... Stanley and Robert were stepbrothers. ―Yours truly, Mary Robson.
May that dead boy speak to you, my reader, about the need of the living for the Word of God. A dear brother writing from Southall says: “I was in King Street, Hammersmith, and went into a large secondhand book-shop to inquire for Testaments, and the proprietor said, ‘I haven’t one, they are snapped up so quickly by the children.’ I was surprised at the statement. Thank God the children do love them.”
