A Tamil Colporteur

By V. E. Peugh

LAST evening Samuel, one of our new colporteurs, came to the bungalow. At first we hardly knew him, there was such a change.

He walked with head erect, and there was a quick spring in his step and a sparkle in his eye that spoke unmistakably of courage.

Little more than a month ago Samuel first heard of the colporteur work, and was convinced of its power in spreading the message of truth. He felt that God definitely called him to this work.

“I have walked one hundred miles,” he said, “and sold papers in many villages. I told them that Jesus is coming again

quickly. And now I am filled with much courage.”

He had earned enough money on this his first tour to buy his first complete Tamil Bible. His face beamed as he took the priceless treasure. “Wherever I go,” he said, “I shall take it with me.” With bags filled with papers he was ready to start out on another tour. We believe that when the Lord claims his own, Samuel will be among them, with those whom he has gathered out of heathen darkness.
