I HAVE recently had some rich experiences corresponding with two families in North Carolina, and laboring with them. One family are not Adventists, and had never heard of such a people until I wrote to them. We sent them a 'box of gifts that I solicited from friends. It contained clothing and fruit; and I have also supplied them with literature, as they seem hungering for truth. The other family are Adventists, but the little children had no books, and the parents had never even seen a copy of the REVIEW. So I placed the matter before our Sabbath-school, and they donated enough to send them the REVIEW for the next three months, and I shall try to get them to save enough by that time to subscribe for it again. My children and I sell books, and use our commission (after we have kept our tithes and offerings) to give needy children books, and to help get literature for needy worthy ones, and we hand out all our papers to the neighbors. Had I stopped to look at the situation as it really was, I should never have tried to do anything; but when we meet a difficulty, we just spread our letter before the Lord, and he always helps us to do something for others, besides giving us good courage in our own family.
