A Home in the South

By Editor

It is not easy for one who for years has preached in its power the gospel message of salvation, to retire from this good work, or to remain in a state of inactivity. Paul said the love of Christ constrained him to do and to dare, to labor and toil, for the cause of his blessed Master. When one is experiencing in his own life the power and sweetness which the gospel imparts, it becomes as a fire in his bones, which he cannot suppress. He desires to pass on to others that which he has received. We were forcibly impressed with this in an earnest appeal made at the Loma Linda Council by Elder G. I. Butler.

Years ago Brother Butler was forced by the long and fatal illness of his wife to give up active work in the ministry. He established a home near Bowling Green, Fla. For long years he suppressed the desire to engage in public labor, giving to his consecrated wife the devotion and love which were her due, and later building up his own impaired health. Circumstances have so shaped now that Brother Butler desires, although advanced in years, to have a more active part in religious work. In order that he may do this, it is necessary for him to dispose of his farm in Florida. His home is in a very desirable location, and much of his farm land is in a state of cultivation and fruit bearing; its soil is excellent. If any of our readers desires to establish a home in the South, a double purpose might be attained—the securing of a pleasant home at a reasonable price and the opening of the way for Brother Butler to realize the great desire of his heart in freedom from encumbrance and embarrassment.

It is not our custom to advertise in the columns of the REVIEW private properties for sale. We feel, however, that this consideration is due our dear Brother Butler in view of the long years of responsible service he has given to this work. Any one interested in this matter should correspond with Elder G. I. Butler, Bowling Green, Fla.
