A New Bible S to ry Every Night
American, British, Canadian, Nor wegian, Swedish, Japanese, Italian, German, French, Greek, Mexican, and Panama vessels' have been visited this last year. The British boats have car ried Chinese and Hindu crews, as well as their own Anglo-Saxon men. Our readers can well appreciate the priv ilege we have had in reaching all classes of people. We are thankful for all who have assisted by gifts of literature, and money to purchase literature, by prayers, by letters, and by personal assistance. When at times we have halted or felt discouraged we were more than comforted by thoughts of you who are supporting^ us in one way or another. “ For God is not unright eous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (Heb. 6: 10 ) . Quite recently one of the vessels, a large Japanese passenger boat, had to be fumigated, and the passengers and crew were quarantined in one of the huge sheds on the docks. Customs guards and officials informed us a few days before and we were able to secure the Japanese pastor from East San Pedro, his wife, and their missionary helper to assist in holding a meeting. Driving our machine clear into the shed we set up our folding organ and passed out Japanese and English hymn books to the crowd that gathered. After singing a number of songs the Japanese pastor proclaimed the mes sage to an attentive audience. After an hour or more several made deci sions for the Lord Jesus Christ. One woman in particular testified that this was the first time she had ever heard of the Lord Jesus, and that she would gladly accept Him. We distributed to the rest of the audience hundreds of Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and a few Russian tracts and Gospels. Needless to say, we were all happy after such a service. Some times we are not able to get •helpers who speak the native language of whatever vessel we are visiting, and are compelled to visit the ship alone, looking for someone to act as an inter preter for us. Many of the officers on the foreign vessels speak English, but not always the crew. On a German boat a few days ago we were welcomed by a lad who could not speak a word of English. However, he showed us a beautifully bound New Testament and Psalms, so we sat down beside him with a colored pencil in hand, and marked verse after verse on salvation, assurance, rewards, and passages of comfort for times of trial and tempta tion. Truly we were quite thankful that on this occasion there was no one to interpret, for thus the Holy Spirit could use the Word itself and cheer the dear lad along the way. We know you will continue to pray for us. “ The effectual, fervent prayer of the right eous avalleth much.”
Y OUR children will never escape from the good influence of these stories. Put the book in their hands or read the stories to them. Forever afterward their lives will be better and^happier. These are stories that have re deemed the world and inspired all that is best in H o m e and F a m i l y Ufa.
