Not long ago we wrote a letter to a dear brother whom we had never met or known, but who, we were sure, had a deep interest for our schools. Soon an answer came, accompanied with a draft for one hundred dollars, and with it the following cheering and precious words:—
DEAR BROTHER MAGAN: Your favor of the 14th ult. came duly to hand. I should like to send more than the amount inclosed, one hundred dollars, but I can not see my way clear to do so at this time. I may later. I have been expecting to sell my farm and apply a good part toward the payment for material for the publishing of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” but have not succeeded as yet, and do not know that I shall this season, as it is getting late for farmers to move. I believe the time has come for lands to be sold, and the proceeds used to advance the Lord’s work. I inclose a draft for the material fund for “Christ’s Object Lessons.” May God bless you in the great work you are doing in His cause.
