By The Editor My Lord’s Day Cheer
IT is the Lord’s Day morning, and I am debarred from the privileges of the day by ill-health. The rain is falling heavily outside, and the skies are filled with gloom. I am occupied with thoughts of this month’s “Message from God,” when the postman comes, and I look at my correspondence. Every letter is about the Lord’s work, and one in particular has been sent by God to give cheer and comfort and brightness of soul and hope. The writer, one who for a long time has taken great interest in our work, says in this letter: ―
Dear Dr. Wreford, I enclose £1 for your good work with every good wish, and I feel that I ought to tell you that a very repentant sinner said to me the other day, “I will show you what brought me to God,” and brought out from his cupboard the December number of “A Message from God.” I thought you would like to know it, and after all one soul saved is a great deal in God’s sight, is it not? I hope you are keeping well. The coming of our Lord is near at hand.
Yours sincerely, E. C.
I could but say, “Thank God! Thank God!” The gloom was gone from the skies, and the time of the singing of birds had come. I thought this, that has cheered me so greatly, would also cheer those who are giving the “Message from God” away to others.
