3,600 Testaments
This is the gift of a dear friend. All these Testaments have gone to the soldiers and the sailors, and more are urgently needed. Our dear friend says in her letter: ―
“When I read in November ‘Message’ that men had to be sent to the trenches without the Word of God, it touched me to the quick. I felt what an awful, solemn reality it was, and I cannot withhold this money from the Lord (the money to buy the 3,600 Testaments) when the need is so great. I know God will use it for His glory. It was so remarkable that after I had sent the withdrawal form to the Bank, the text on my daily text calendar the next morning was as follows: ‘Whoso hath this world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God’ abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but indeed and truth’ (1 John 3:17,18).
“And this morning the text is: ―
“‘Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heaven that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also’ (Luke 12:32-34). So it gives me very great pleasure in sending to you to enable you to send out to the Front, and I feel I am only doing what it is my duty to do. I experience great happiness in sending. Never in my whole life has anything given me greater happiness, and I thank God from the bottom of my heart that I am able to send to help those souls in deep need.”
Read carefully the last page of “Message,” and please help me to send as many boxes as you can.
