A Russian Minister in Siberian Exile

BROTHER J. T. BOETTCHER, in writing to the Mission Board from Riga, Russia, quotes from a letter he had received from Brother Osol, the Russian minister who was banished to Siberia. An extract from the quotation reads: “Many times when I am sad I read my Bible, and find much comfort in this precious Book. My heart takes new courage and happy thoughts remain. I speak to the other prisoners about the truth; some listen, others laugh and go off. I believe God has placed me here to witness for him. I neither murmur nor complain, but rather take the promise of Jesus as mine: ‘Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven.’”
