Boggstown (Ind.) Manual Training Academy
By B. F. MACHLAN
It may interest the readers of the REVIEW to know how God has blessed the Boggstown Manual Training Academy. Some time before the week of prayer, we began praying for God’s blessing to rest upon our young people, and touch their hearts. The needy field had been kept before the students since our school opened, and we prayed that the Lord would awaken in them a desire to give of their means, as well as to consecrate their lives to him. Rigid self-denial was practised by many of them, and all had a part in the giving. One hour each day was set apart for our prayer service. All took part in song and in bearing testimony to God’s love and power. From the first, the Lord blessed us, and although we had asked and expected great things of him, yet he blessed us above what we had asked or thought. Several students decided to obey the Lord’s commandments,19Our offerings amounted to $31.55, besides several pieces of jewelry. We are praising God for his great love and his strong hand.
