A Church School Teacher Helps Relieve the Schools
FROM A CHURCH SCHOOL TEACHER WHO THOUGHT SHE AND HER CHILDREN COULD HELP RELIEVE THE SCHOOLS
“My Dear Brother: Your letter of the fifteenth is at hand, and its sentiments meet an answering chord in my heart. I know that the movement with ‘Christ’s Object Lessons’ is of the Lord, and every one who will put his shoulder to the wheel and lift will receive the blessing of the Lord. As I have read the letters and articles in the REVIEW in regard to the good work, it has seemed to me as if I could not be patient; I must do something at once. I am teaching the church school at this place, which fully occupies my time, and so far I have done little to help the good work along. Some of the older pupils and myself have planned to spend a large portion of our vacation in the interest of South Lancaster Academy.” “There is quite an interest in this section to help lift the burden, but I fear if we do not do something soon, our work will be like that done by the ‘divisions of Reuben’—it will go no further than ‘great impressions.’ I pray that this may not be true in our case.” “Inclosed please find pledge to the fund for material. I wish it were more, and if the Lord will open the way for us to sell, it shall be more.” “I thank you for your letter. It has done us all good; and as I read it to our little company last Sabbath, all seemed to feel as never before the need of action just now.” “Our prayer is that God may fill you with His wisdom for this great and glorious work.”
