A Bohemian Witness

By W. A. S.

There is a new witness to the third angel’s message in Bohemia, the land of Huss and Jerome. It is a monthly illustrated paper, bright and cleanly looking, full of truth for the time. It is printed in Hamburg, but edited and issued from Nymburk, near Prague.

TITLE HEAD OF BOHEMIAN PAPER “HERALD OF TRUTH.”

When the first copies came to the camp-ground at Friedensau, there was a little praise service to welcome the new witness. Brethren from Hungary, and Russia, and other parts, thanked God in behalf of many in their fields, outside of Bohemia, who may now hear this truth through the new witness. And the hope was expressed that our brethren in America would use this paper among the many Bohemians in the States.

The paper is called Hlasatel Pravdy (Herald of Truth). The title-heading, shown in the accompanying cut, was designed by the editor, an artist, who has been giving his time to evangelistic work for a year. Somewhat over a year ago, he told me, he heard his mother saying, “No, no,” to some one at the door, who was patiently and persistently urging something upon her attention. He went to the door and found a colporteur, with tracts, one of our brethren. Thus was the truth brought to his home in Nymburk.

The message is making progress in Bohemia. In ancient Prague we have a company of about twenty-five Sabbath-keepers.

The price of this paper to America is fifty cents a year. Orders may be sent to the General Conference in Washington. Surely many brethren must have Bohemians in their neighborhood, to whom this paper from the Bohemian home land would be a blessed herald indeed. W. A. S.
