MISSIONARY BOX

By Mrs. S. M. Kennedy

I WISH to tell you how I have used the papers, magazines, etc., that have come to me as the result of my request in the REVIEW.

At first I had a goodly number,—more than I could use in my little wayside box,—so I folded all extra ones, and a brother, a farmer, who drives to Mobile, which is about twenty miles distant, took them with him, and gave them away. He says that some reach their hand out long before they get to him, and others cross the street to meet him, and ask for more of those papers, declaring that they are good, if they are old.

But I must tell about my box. While many papers that are taken from it are looked over and at least partly read,—and I pray that they may do good,—

some papers, of course, are destroyed, and some efforts, made to injure the box. I still keep as good an assortment in it as I can, and quite a good many look the papers over, and take one. I can only leave the result with God. Pray for us here in the South, for it is a needy field. We can use all the papers we can get, and shall be very thankful for them. MRS. S. M. KENNEDY.
