| Good News |
| “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things” (Romans 10:15). |
| William Elbert Robinson (Robby) was a missionary to Guatemala in the early 1900’s, and a very good friend and coworker of Cameron Townsend, the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translations. As a young man, and having been married less than three years, he drowned during a swim that the two men were enjoying in Lake Atitlan one afternoon. On his tombstone were engraved the following words. |
| W. E. Robinson |
| Bearer of Good News |
| Robby, as he was best known, had worked very closely with Cameron Townsend in bringing the gospel to the Cakchiquel Indians, giving them their written language, their first school, and a translation of Mark’s Gospel in their native tongue. His death was quite a blow to Cameron. |
| What would be put on your grave or mine in the event of a sudden or untimely death? Could it be said that were the bearers of good news? Paul in preaching at Antioch could say: “We declare unto you glad tidings” (Acts 13:32). |
