Items of Interest from Missionary Letters
By H. E. Sawyer-Hopkins
FROM Montana a lady writes that she is thankful for tracts which have been sent her. She has read them with interest, and then passed them on to others. A lady in Ohio says that the Gospel Herald contains many beautiful truths, which are of much interest to her. Major N. W. E., of Virginia, appreciates the Gospel Herald. All the copies he has received have been read and reread with a great deal of interest. It is just the kind of literature that he enjoys, and he wishes more of the same. He is a member of the Methodist Church. He says that he is in his eighty-fifth year, and that the Lord blesses him with health of body and mind. Several children to whom the Youth’s Instructor has been sent are pleased with the paper. Even older people appreciate its contents. A lady at Syracuse, N. Y., expresses her thanks for copies of the Good Health. She purchased some of the health foods while on a visit at Lincoln, Neb., and was especially delighted with the nut preparations. She felt very grateful for all information received concerning the health foods.18 There is at least one person in Liberia who is still true to the cause of present truth, as the result of literature sent to Cape Palmas several years ago. This brother writes that his country is a good field for missionary work. He is anxious for more literature and a missionary worker. “God calls a man to do a certain work, and when he has carried it as far as he is qualified to take it, the Lord brings in others, to carry it still farther. From time to time the Lord will bring in different agencies through whom his purpose can best be accomplished.”—The “Desire of Ages,” pages 181, 182. What a precious truth we have, and how sweet to labor for it!
