A GIFT WHICH MEANT MUCH TO THE GIVER

The following story comes from Iowa. The letter is written by one of our ministering brethren, and the story impressed us so deeply that we thought the readers of the REVIEW would like to have it:—
Dear Brother: Your kind letters to hand. We appreciate news of the progress of the work. I have sold over fifty copies of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” besides the number taken in hundred-pound lots in the various churches where I have been.
Please find inclosed a draft for five dollars. This money is out of a ten-dollar gold piece, which was a special treasure — a keepsake. It had been in the family for years, handed down from father to son; but the giver, after debating the question in his mind for some time, said, “The Bible says where your treasure is, there your heart will be also; so take the treasure, and put it in the bank of heaven.” Five dollars is for books, and five for the material fund. God is blessing His willing, earnest, faithful children.
My wife has sold her six books, and more.
