Accomplished by One Tract
By M. H. St. John
ELDER H. W. COTTRELL is in receipt of a letter, under date of January 26, 1914, from a man in the state of Washington, from which we quote the following interesting extract: "The tracts were duly received, and a few pages read in 'We Would See Jesus,' but it was only the present week that I read 'The Christian Sabbath,' completing it Friday evening. "It makes clear the question of the first day of the week, and shows that it is but a common day; and the custom of Christ and the disciples to observe the seventh day as the Sabbath; and that the seventh day (Saturday), not the first day, is the Lord's day; and other passages in the New Testament which I had understood differently. . . . "To my mind, it covers the subject, and makes plain the duty of every one who hopes to see Jesus and live in His kingdom. . . . "Consequently, the Sabbath was observed as never before in our house." Is not this a striking testimony to what a truth-filled tract will do when read by an honest seeker after light? Note that the reader of this one tract on the "Christian Sabbath," which he finished reading Friday evening, January 23, who only a few days before, as he stated to the author of the tract, considered the Sabbath question of little consequence, was thoroughly convinced of the truth it contained, and obeyed by keeping the following day as the Sabbath. In the letter above mentioned, this brother enclosed some change, and said, "Please send a few copies of 'The Christian Sabbath,' and I will mail the same to some of my friends. . . . May God bless you in spreading the message to those who need to know God's will in this matter." Reader, does this not serve to illustrate what you may do for God through the medium of a little tract, a crum from His great table of truth? Let the printed page be sown as the leaves of autumn, or as the falling of the manna, and all who faint not shall reap.
