India

By W. O. James

GLEN HOGAN, SIMLA.— We have good reason to be thankful for all the Lord has done for us. Sometimes I wonder at the Lord's using such a dull instrument, but in this is his great love and mercy manifested. Then I remember that “God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty,” and I thank him for placing me among this class, that I may glory in the Lord and the power of his might.

The other day I entered the Grand Hotel here, and sent my card in by the servant to one of the guests. The lady came out, and said her husband was not prepared to see me. I spoke to her about the paper, and asked her to show it to her husband. Then I asked the Lord to reveal the contents to them while I awaited an answer. Soon she returned with the money, and asked me to place her name on the list. These people are generally very hard to reach, and I felt especially thankful at the result. I met the proprietor, who also took the paper.

There are many office men here, and it takes some time to reach all these; but I have the place more than half worked. A list of two hundred paid subscriptions is now in hand, and I am working for at least one hundred more, if the Lord wills. The upper classes are yet to be visited, and it is much more difficult to interest them in these things.

Mrs. James is very busy with her readers. She expects to see some of them baptized and united with the church. W. O. JAMES.
