Work Among the Gipsies

From Aldershot.
Dear Sir, — Very many thanks for the parcel you so kindly sent me not long ago. I should be very pleased if you could send me about 20 Testaments for children and one or two Daily Portion Testaments. We have a camp of gipsies near Aldershot numbering about 200, and it is a real joy to tell out to them the glad tidings. They are very attentive, and several have decided for Christ, three of whom are seeing with us to spread the joyful news. They are very eager to hear God’s Word, and I believe that many of them are on the way to decision. God has been working with them very much of late. One or two have been removed from the camp into eternity. One child about thirteen years passed away at the Cottage Hospital, Aldershot, rejoicing in Christ as her Saviour. Her last message to the van-dwellers was, “Tell them I am going to heaven.” Eternity alone will reveal the results of the Gospel in that dark spot. I should value both yours and the readers of “A Message from God’s” prayers on behalf of this much neglected part of God’s vineyard, that He may vet bring many more to the mercy-seat, that they may know what true rest, peace, joy and happiness is. I am sending you 5/- towards God’s work, trusting you are keeping well.
Yours in His happy service, S. E. C.
Please read our appeal at the end of this number for Testaments for all the world. We ask for your earnest prayers and practical sympathy as the Lord wills.
Yours in His service,
Heyman Wreford.
