Mission Notes

In November last Brother C. C. Belgrave, who has been connected with the Garhwal Industrial School, north India, writes that he was to enter upon evangelistic work, opening a new mission somewhere in the United Provinces.
In Bulgaria, a Bible colporteur called at a flour mill during the noon hour to sell the true “Bread of life.” The manager ordered him away, using abusive language. The colporteur did not give up, but returned the next day at the dinner hour to make another attempt. He was summoned into the manager’s countingroom. This time the manager was very gentlemanly in his manners, and purchased a Bible. The colporteur asked him why his treatment of him was so different from that of the day before. “Because,” said the manager, “I have heard about you Protestant colporteurs, and I wanted to see if you are all as patient as you are said to be. Now come, and we will go together and sell your books to my men.” The workmen took all the Bibles he had, and the worker for God departed with another valuable lesson in patience.
