A Letter

By L. J. Burgess; G. A. Burgess

ON BOARD THE “OCEANIC,”

Nov. 3, 1905.

Dear Brethren and Sisters in America,—

Having started on our return to India, we wish to send back a few words of farewell, and to express our gratitude to the Lord for his blessing that has attended our preparation for again taking up our work among the Hindustani people.

We feel very grateful for the encouragement we have received, and for the ready assistance that has been given by our people in the disposal of the special number of The Bible Training School, about twenty-four thousand of which have been sent out. The receipts from these papers have not all come in as yet, but enough has been received to cover the cost of those sent out, to pay our expenses in returning to the field, and to make a beginning in the work there.

We wish also to thank all who have sent in donations to this work. I think we have acknowledged all these by personal letters, but would take this opportunity to do so again, and to ask all who have taken part in this effort, to continue to help by their prayers, that the Lord may open the way and give his servants wisdom to carry on the work that has been begun, that they may share with us in the joy of seeing many souls from far-away India saved in the little kingdom of God as a result of this effort.

Future remittances on account of papers sold or pledges made, may be sent to Elder S. N. Haskell or to The Bible Training School, South Lancaster, Mass., to be applied on the Hindustani Mission Fund.

L. J. BURGESS. G. A. BURGESS.
