A New-Year's Greeting From the Abyssinian Border
IN sending to our office a renewal order for periodicals, Elder Anol Grundset adds these words, closing with a greeting to the believers, which we are glad to pass on:— We are denied in the Dark Continent many of the comforts and pleasant things so abundant in the home land; but the papers we must have, to keep posted and abreast with the message, so rapidly progressing to every nation, tongue,15and people, hastening to its final triumph. The thought cheers us that soon will take place that great reunion of God’s dear people, from the north and the south, the east and the west, sharing the blessings of the eternal home. With the thought of a real God, who “so loved the world;” a real Jesus, who loved even to the giving of his life, promising, I’ll be with you, even unto the end of the world; with a saving message full of hope for the world, and the future realization of God’s endless promises,—with these thoughts vividly before us, and the spirit of them imparted, we can more than cheerfully “toil on” even in benighted Africa. Dear brethren and sisters in the home land, shall we not all with the Lord’s help make the year 1911 the banner year in our experience,—first, by drawing near to God and accepting every ray of light and truth entrusted to us; and second, by every possible effort doing faithfully our part to speedily carry the saving truth of the third angel’s message to all nations?
