THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.
By Percy T. Magan
Some Interesting Letters.
HERE are four letters, all of which are very interesting to me. They did me so much good that I thought the people who are coming to the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS ought to have the pleasure of reading them, too; so, without the names and addresses, I append them herewith, and add a prayer that the godly example of these kind friends will provoke others to good works:— DEAR FRIEND MAGAN: Find inclosed a postal note for twenty dollars for the college debt. I am NO member of your church. I take the REVIEW, and believe everything that is printed in it. I am a lone widow. DEAR BROTHER ADAMS: I am a little girl, ten years old. I had a missionary garden this summer, and got about one dollar out of it. I send you fifty cents to apply on the school debt, or school fund. May the Lord help us to pay off that debt. A. G. Adams, Battle Creek, Mich. DEAR BROTHER: Inclosed please find a post-office order for ten dollars, to help liquidate the debt on our schools. I earned the money working in the cannery at—. It is only a little, but it is with a thankful heart that I offer it. I wish it were a thousand dollars, instead of ten. The Lord is good, and I praise his name for giving health to earn that much. I trust the dear Lord will look on the freedom and gladness with which the money is offered, instead of on the amount. I pray that the Holy Spirit will incite all God’s people to duty, till the whole debt is paid. P. T. Magan, Battle Creek, Mich. DEAR BROTHER: My wife and I have been interested in the many items that have appeared in the REVIEW AND HERALD on the Relief of the Schools, and have been praying to be guided in our personal duty and interest that we may bear our share of the burden. We can not give as much as we would like to, but can give as much as we are required to. God does not require the impossible of any of his children. We have decided to give the proceeds of a month’s labor, whatever they may be, to the fund for the relief of the schools. We leave it to you to designate the month to labor in that direction, as our income varies, and we do not wish the devil to taunt or tempt us in any way. Are there not others who would be willing to set apart a certain time to devote exclusively to relief work? Make all remittances for the big fund for the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS to A. G. Adams, Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.
