Words From Far Fields

By J. L. Shaw; Anol Grundset

India's Greeting

In ten different tongues the gospel of Jesus and his soon coming is being told in India and Burma, and some are hearing the voice of God and turning unto him. The output of our literature will this year more than double that of last year, and our mission schools are about as many again. Now is the time of seed-sowing in India, and we confidently expect a larger harvest in the future; yet for this we need the Holy Spirit. We ask you to pray definitely during the coming week of prayer that our Indian, American, and English workers may have a greater passion for winning souls for Christ, and be energized by God's Spirit for a greater work in the year to come. Our hearts are with you in this time of prayer. The message of the third angel is rising into a louder cry in the East. The ultimate triumph of the gospel in heathen lands is assured. King Jesus is coming, and will claim his children in every land and take them home. J. L. Shaw.

Children of God's Book

Over three thousand years ago, God with an outstretched hand led Israel, pursued by their enemies, through the Red Sea. The Word assures us, “Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it can not save; neither his ear heavy, that it can not hear.” Our experience must prove that the same power intercedes for his people to-day; this is my testimony from the Hamasen plateau, eighty miles from the Red Sea. One inquiring what we believed, added that he had heard we were “Doeki Moetshaf Oegsiabeher” (children of God's Book). God help us, whether at home or abroad, that our lives daily may witness as “children of God's Book.” The “everlasting gospel” is due to be preached “in all the world for a witness unto all nations.” Dear brethren and sisters in the faith of a triumphant cause, let each share to the fullest extent possible by our prayers, our strength, our example, and our entrusted means, in hastening on the coming kingdom and the saints' inheritance.
