again. A new life and light fill our hearts. We are singing and praying together, bear ing witness to the Jews and now two in one in Jesus.” David, aged ten, has a grateful heart. “ I am so glad my brother Samuel took Joseph and me to the mission,” he writes, “ for there I learned about Jesus, that He died for my sins and is now preparing a home for me in heaven. I wish He would come very soon, for we have no money to pay the rent and will soon be put out of our little home. When I see Jesus, I will thank Him that He let me in.” Tosia, fifteen, writes: “My father is strongly against all missions, yet he allowed me to go to Radosc two years ago. When he saw the influence it had, I was for bidden to go, and my father tried to in terest me in worldly things. Sometimes, for a moment, I enjoyed them, but soon a longing for God filled my heart and I went secretly to the mission. It drew me more and more. I lied to my parents, tell ing them I went to see a friend. This win ter the Word of God convicted me of sin —my double life. Now I am saved, but, as a Jewish child not yet of age, I must stay at home and obey. Jesus is mine, however, and I am free and happy.” Tosia’s friend, Sarenka, who is twelve years old, recalls a secret, precious meet ing with her Saviour. “I am very sorry that I could not take part with the other children at the Christmas tree,” she ex plained. “Tosia wrote how nice it was, and it was a great joy to me to know that it was so wonderful and that all the children testified to their faith in Christ. “ Do not think, dear Miss Christoffersen, that I did not have a Christmas tree. I asked the wife of the portier to give me a small green branch, and she gave me one, and even a candle to put on it. Then I cut small stars out of gold paper, and at night, when all were asleep, I put my green branch in a bottle, put on the little stars, lighted my candle, and prayed and sang very softly the songs which you taught us. You cannot think how happy I was. My heart greatly rejoiced as I looked at my beautiful Christmas tree. Again and again I repeated the Bible verses which you gave me to learn (Matt. 1:21 and Acts 4:12), and I felt as though I were standing in the big hall with you all, saying to all the Jews: ‘And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.’ ” N ew W orkers N eeded We are looking forward to the summer work at Radosc this year, but we are also asking the Lord of the harvest to thrust forth ten new workers, and a couple to take up all-year-round work at Villa Bethel. There are unparalleled opportunities for evangelizing the greatly neglected field of Poland. We are asking for men and women of vision, who have been long enough with Christ to feel as He does about the suffering Jews; men who have counted the cost, who can walk quietly before God in the midst of all kinds of trials and dangers. Only such can do exploits in this land in this day.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, three Jewish lads in Poland who have heard the gospel through The American - European Fellowship The American -European Fellowship is supporting workers in Europe who give out the gospel in its simplicity and power. This is the only antidote for sin, superstition, atheism, and unrest. We solicit the prayerful cooperation of God’ s people in this task. Miss Tordis Christoffersen is laboring in Warsaw, Poland, where about 400,000 Jews are found. See her article in this issue o f THE KING’S BUSINESS.
