Rev. J. P. Welliver, dressed for the trail, with a 100-pound pack of Bibles for the woodsmen and settlers of the northern Minnesota cut-over region strapped to his hack. Mr. Well iver is one „of the untiring Bible salesmen (colporteurs, or burden bearers) who devote their lives to spreading the printed Gospel. (Used by courtesy of American Bible Society and "Farm and Fireside” ) It gives me great pleasure to present the picture of one of God’s chosen servants who for many years has been faith fully fulfilling the command of the Great Commander to go and give the glorious Gospel of the Son of God to a hungry- hearted world. Mr. Welliver was in my Bible School in St. Paul, Min nesota, many years ago, where I had the pleasure of opening the Word to him. He was led to go to Morocco to give the Gospel, afterwards locating in Northern Minnesota, where he has been graciously used in teaching and preaching the good news so dear to us who love the Lord. Who of us is wise enough to estimate the value of one life such as this, wholly yielded to his Lord and Master, or the joyful anticipation that is his as he looks eagerly for His coming and labors patiently to hasten the glad day. Pray for Mr. Welliver, and may God multiply his kind. T. C. H.
