EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENCE

I received a blessing during the Week of Prayer. My husband and I had meetings in our little sitting-room, where we would sing a hymn, have prayer, and then the reading.
I will be glad to remail my REVIEW to any sister desiring to read the blessed message. I have one neighbor who wishes to read my paper, but we can arrange so that both can read it in one week. I think I have the back numbers from the latter part of November, which I can send.
I enjoy taking all the difficult things to Jesus, for I know He is sufficient, and will make them all right in His own good time.
Please send me more pledges, and I will do all I can with them. One young man to whom I presented the pledge, has quit using tobacco.
Since we studied the book of Galatians, I have thought that I do not have faith enough, not that I doubt the Lord's power or goodness, but I need more faith in Him as my personal Saviour.
I went to town one day, taking a bundle of Signs of the Times, which I asked the Lord to help me sell. Not a man refused to buy. I could have sold more if I had had them with me. Yesterday two women came to see me, and I sold each a copy of “Christ's Object Lessons,” and to-day I sold a copy to a young man.
I accepted the truth six years ago, and since that time have labored to bring others to a knowledge of it, and the Lord has blessed my efforts. To His name be all the praise. I have at times been engaged in canvassing. Some time ago I wanted to get some copies of the Signs of the Times to mail to ministers of other denominations, but I did not have the money to do so. I took it to the Lord in prayer, and told Him that if He would send me an order for the things I was selling, between that time and Christmas, I would give Him half, for the spreading of the truth in this way; and in the time allotted, I received an order for $5.20. The Lord will surely hear and answer our requests when we come to Him in faith.
