An Experience

By Otis Flinn

While in Nebraska I sold ten copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” Last April I came to Sheridan, Wyo., to work by the month. Some time after I came here, the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons” was presented to the church. Feeling that I ought to help in the good work, I took four copies, and was able to sell them all. While engaged in this work, I gave a few Bible readings at a place where I sold a book, and one young man sixteen years old began to keep the Sabbath. He is an orphan boy, and is staying with his sister. He seems willing to do anything for the truth’s sake. He is now sick with typhoid fever, but is getting along well. His sister is favorable to the truth. I believe that the Lord sent me to him.

I write these few lines to encourage all to be on the lookout to help others. Dear brethren and sisters, let us arise and let our light shine; for time is short. May the Lord bless us all, and help us all to be faithful. Pray for me that I may be able to do more for the cause of God. Otis Flinn.
