AN ENCOURAGING LETTER.

The Superintendent of the Sabbath-school at Otsego, Mich., writes as follows in reply to a letter on S. S. work:—

I am glad to say that our school is doing well; there is a deep interest manifested by both old and young, and also by those that visit the school. Some have said that ours was the best Sabbath-school they ever attended. This is owing largely to the plan on which we work, viz., the one recommended at our last camp-meeting. I believe the Lord is pleased with this work, and that we have his blessing.

We do not have Instructors enough to satisfy the children. We take twenty-five copies, and have enough for one paper in each family; but every child wants a paper of his own. When I distribute the papers, it seems hard to pass by some of them without giving them a paper, when I know they want one. Some of our children are becoming missionaries. When they get through with their papers, they send them to their friends in different places. May God bless them.

We have all the books that you recommend, and we like them very much. We have also adopted the penny contribution, and it works well.
