was, after all, a tremendous undertak ing for Paul to sail for Europe and enter upon entirely new conditions and face new and unknown difficulties. But see how God provided for him! After he had, in obedience to the di vine command, “Come over and help us,” begun to preach the Gospel at Philippi, the Lord opened Lydia’s heart. She was a business woman and probably had a fair income; she took Paul into her home: what a kind leading of God! Now this must have cheered and comforted the Apostles. Again, here in this new world, God had provided for his support. Will He do less for you who look to Him for your sustenance?

A FREE OFFER—BUT “PLAY FAIR”! In the spring of 1908 I began to distribute copies of the Gospel of John, —each book carrying in it my promise to send to the reader, who has read it through, a free copy of the Acts of the Apostles. Since that date bushels of mail have come, but no letter has pleased me more than one signed by f a t h e r , mother and three children, asking five free copies of A c t s , and saying that they had read their little Gospels through, responsively, at the dining table, after they had finished eating. Those children are grown by this time,—perhaps have children of their own,—I know not,—but I feel sure that all five readers still bear the im press of those few minutes a day, ded icated as a family, to the reading of God’s Word. I imagine there are many families, who, assembled at table or elsewhere, would faithfully “read around” till the little book would be read through-; therefore to any family who sends me the message printed below, signed by all the prospective readers, I will send as many free copies of John’s Gospel with map and outline: But Just one word of caution,—do not make this promise lightly and then after I have done my part, neglect to keep it. Play fair with me! Perhaps before promising you would like to see a sample book. If so, send a self-addressed stamped envelope and books will be sent by return mall.

The Lord is able to give you much more than this. In 1 Samuel 9 we see Saul seeking for the lost asses; Instead of them he finds a kingdom, according to God’s won derful leading, and his father’s ani mals also were found again. Thus the Lord does not want you to grieve and fret over a loss in material things, for such fretting would disturb your peace in Him, but He wants you to trust Him that He will make up for that loss in one way or another, just as He sees fit. He may withhold earthly goods in order that He may wean you from this earth and give you all the more “spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” How blessed our hearts if they are so loosed from the love of earthly things that their loss does not interrupt the deep, sweet peace of God in our hearts! But we see this providence of God for His own, extending even to minute details, in the New Testament also. It "We promise Miss Merrlam that as an assembled family we will read responsively the whole of John’s Gospel.” Signed......................................
