Influence of Literature

Of the good results attending the circulation of a religious paper the Christian Advocate of July 17 gives the following:—
A West Point cadet received a weekly denominational paper by the thoughtfulness of a Christian friend. It did not interest him, and was often dropped into the waste-basket unopened. He had decided to ask the publishers to stop sending it when one day his chum, glancing through it, was caught by an article which appealed to young men to invest their lives where they would produce the highest results. That was the beginning of that boy's remarkable career. After a few years of honorable service he resigned from the army, and volunteered to go to Japan as a missionary, becoming one of the most efficient workers in that field. It was "a church paper" that helped to transform this man's life.
