What One Magazine Did

By G. W. McCOMAS

As the train stopped in Calmar a few minutes for lunch, one of our good sisters in Iowa took advantage of this opportunity to sell a few magazines. Passing down the aisle, she offered a copy to a Catholic priest. He passed it over to a lady with whom he was conversing, and said, “Take this; it might do you some good.” She put the magazine in her hand-bag.

The train soon left for Waukon, where she was to visit a sister. While there, she told her sister of what had happened, showing her the paper. “O yes,” she said, “we have a large church of those people here.” After her visit she came to Mason City, and lived next door to an Adventist family. This spring, while in their gardens, the two women often talked about the truth. Finally this Catholic woman permitted our Bible worker to visit her home. After the first study, she ordered a Bible, and a copy of “Ministry of Healing.”

At our convention recently held in Mason City, this lady gave, in one of the social meetings, a very touching testimony, telling of her experience while in the Catholic Church, and expressing her gratitude that God had helped her to see and know the truth. She felt so thankful to the sister who was engaged in selling such good papers. This woman is a nurse in the city, and is doing good work in spreading a knowledge of the blessed truth; she has taken her stand with us, and expects soon to be baptized.

This is what one magazine did for a sister in Rome, bound by iron fetters. She is now preparing for Jesus’ soon coming, expecting to share the promised home with all the faithful.
