Fire Can Not Hinder the Work

BROTHER G. C. JENKS, field missionary agent in the West Caribbean Conference, Central America, gives the following interesting item concerning their work since the fire destroyed the Colon publishing-house:—

“Since the fire of March 23, which destroyed all our stock of books, we have received for distribution in this field (Costa Rica included) the following books:— Bible Readings ........................................600 Daniel and Revelation .................................700 Past, Present, and Future .............................450 Home and Health (Spanish) .............................485 Heralds of the Morning ................................125 Best Stories ............................................650 Christ Our Saviour .....................................100 New Testament Primer ...................................500 His Glorious Appearing ..................................50 Steps to Christ ..........................................75 Miscellaneous ............................................71 Total ................................................3,806

“It is now only two and one-half months since the fire, and almost half of the books listed above have been delivered. Truly the hand of the Lord is with us for good. Let us be true to him, and go forth with renewed courage, determined by his help to be more diligent in the circulation of gospel literature.”
