A Noble Work

THE Keene (Tex.) Orphanage has been remarkably blessed during the past summer. The founders of the institution took two of their children to assist in the work of selling The Bible Training School. They were out about five months, and sold thirteen hundred and forty dollars' worth of double numbers of The Bible Training School under one cover, at ten cents a copy. Who can fail to see the hand of God in this?

They worked in eleven States and one Territory, and also in about twelve large cities and scores of smaller towns. The truth was scattered by them like the leaves of autumn. The profit on this work is about one thousand dollars, which has gone to the support of the Keene Orphanage.

Space will not permit a narrative of the numerous and valuable experiences of these workers. The proprietor of the orphanage has traveled in the interest of the Lord's work for nearly forty years, but never had such an enjoyable and profitable trip before. He gives the praise all to his Heavenly Father.

He also labored with many churches, including two of the colored churches in Mississippi. This was a rare privilege to him, and one long to be remembered. The Lord has blessed the work in the South for this unfortunate race.
