A Note Of Thankfulness.
My dear friends,
Although our output of Testaments and Tracts is nearly double what is was two or three years ago, we have to praise God for the wondrous help He has given all the way through. He has given us the loving sympathy and help of many of His dear people. I can only bring two letters before you to testify how God is blessing “A Message from God.”
A dear Christian writes: ―
“I must thank you for God speaking through His Word in April ‘Message.’ My dear father, who was ill in bed with a very sharp attack of bronchitis, after reading it, returned it to me saying: ‘Do read this, it might have been written solely for us.’ I am sure the Lord is using the “Message” as a means of blessing and encouragement to many of His own clear ones, and also to the salvation of many precious souls. May His rich blessing rest upon you and upon your, labors. ‘Therefore, beloved, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.’ Is it not sweet to know that God often works by us when we think that nothing is done; and we have His arm to support us and His fullness to supply us every step of the way?
“Yours sincerely in Him, whom not having seen we love,
“SSS.”
Another writes: ―
“I was touched reading your article in the Message, ‘The Ways of God.’ I, too, got a blessing through ‘What Christ is to the Christian.’ May God Himself guide, strengthen and greatly uphold you in your service for Him. Yours in His service, G. I.”
The heart-breaking need of the pure Word of God is manifest more and more, and the efforts of Satan to neutralize the power of Scripture is evidenced on every hand. I am printing a letter and extracts which I have received from Canada; this will show how deeply Christians are stirred there by the widespread distribution of “Peake’s Commentary,” a blasphemous book that is put into the hands of hundreds of Missionaries, and is read and studied by thousands of theological students under the guidance and authority of their Professors.
