The Celebes, East Indies
By F. A. DETAMORE
FROM a native away up in the Celebes we received a letter asking us to send him some of our books and pamphlets from Batavia, that he might sell them to his people. None of our workers are acquainted with him, and we do not even know how he learned of our work, or of our books; but we decided to send the literature, for it would do some good even if we never received the money, which he promised to forward to us as soon as he had sold the books. After a long time he sent the money for those books, and ordered more, this time a large number. We decided to let him have them this time also. Months rolled by before anything was heard of him again, but at last a letter came with part of the money, and a request for more books. These were sent, and the money for them and the others was received later. We do not know what it all means, but it would seem that the Lord is going out before us to open the way for the message of love to enter that part of our field where nothing has yet been done. Perhaps the heart of the Infinite is unwilling to wait longer to give light to those dying in darkness.
