By Strange Paths

AN illustration of the Lord’s overruling hand in bringing his children into light over strange paths comes to us in a letter from Sister Helen Williams, of South Africa, who writes from one of the colonial cities:—

“A young woman, a member of our church in this place, who accepted the truth through my Bible work some years ago, was left in a condition requiring her to earn her living. She preferred to take up work in some other place, and so went to another town and became housekeeper in the home of a professor whose wife was assisting him in his school work.”

“After leaving us she became cold and careless spiritually, and did things that were wrong. The professor reproved her sharply. In the course of the conversation concerning religious experience, she asked him why he continued breaking the fourth commandment. This led to her sending to me for reading matter, and I sent her a number of tracts on different points of the truth. The outcome of it all is that the housekeeper herself was reconverted, and the professor accepted the truth and is with us. He is rejoicing in the light that he has found, and assisting in the meetings of the church.”
