Brother Boettcher Cleared in Russia
In a letter written from Riga, Russia, April 19, and received at the Mission Board office July 6, Brother Boettcher tells how he was called by the chief of police to answer some questions regarding the conduct of our work in that part of the field. The answers given by Brother Boettcher were written down, from which the chief of police wrote up a very good statement showing that he was cleared of the charges which led to the searching of his house, at which time books and papers were seized by the authorities. Upon Brother Boettcher's signing this statement, he was released, and all his papers were returned to him. In closing his letter he says: “I am glad we have a present Help in every time of need. My courage is good, because I know this is the message for these last days.”
