Marceline.—Reports which appear in our good church paper from time to time, telling of the success various workers are having, inspire me to tell you how the Lord is blessing my efforts. I am an old soldier and unable to do manual work. Recently I decided to secure a supply of books, adding to the store from time to time as I could spare the money from my little pension, and lend them to persons willing to read. I now have about forty dollars' worth. I have made a nice little case in which to carry them. In going from house to house I search for lovers of good books who are anxious to read, and then I lend them a book for two or three weeks. Making a second trip, I gather up the books that have been read, and leave others where they are desired. I find the people hungry for this class of literature, and could use five times as many books as I have. Twenty families are now reading. In these families are about sixteen children. With these I hold a reading class. I believe that the loving Father is leading in this work. I ask an interest in your prayers, and shall appreciate all the good literature that you can send me. D. A. Easton.
