The Music and Comfort of Heaven
A dear Christian told me of a dream she had. She said: “I dreamed one night that I was close to heaven, but outside—so close that I heard the singing, as I thought, of the ‘New Song.’ I tried to get inside, but I could not. I felt that it only wanted one step and I should be in, and I wondered why I could not get in. Then a voice said: ‘My child, go back and carry the music and comfort of heaven to sorrowing hearts on earth,’ Then I awoke.”
What a beautiful dream! and what a beautiful work it is to carry “the music and comfort of heaven to sorrowing hearts on earth.” This weary world, out of touch with God, needs amid all the discords of life today, more than ever it did, “the music and comfort of heaven.”
Thank God, it is all contained in His precious Word—the Book that, since 1914, we have been sending to all parts of this sin-peopled and heart-wearied world. If we would carry-the “music and comfort of heaven to sorrowing hearts on earth,” it must be through the distribution of His Word. Will you help us to spread this blessed “music and comfort” everywhere?

A Sanctified Gift.
Dear Dr. Wreford, — We have recently lost our only daughter, aged eleven, and having disposed of some of her things, we thought that we could not do better with the money than send it to you for your work in sending out Testaments, etc. I have added a little more to it, and trust that you will be richly blessed in your work. — Yours sincerely, A. B. C.
The amount sent was £10. God bless this sacred gift for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake.
A Thank offering.
