A MILLION GOODWILL TESTAMENTS FOR LATIN-AMERICA “I want to have some Testaments at Work for me in South America”

Writes a lawyer in Washington, D. C. He says: “I want to have some Testaments at work for me in South America, and enclose check toward the Campaign for a million copies. It is a great joy to Follow Hoover’s Goodwill Tour With Goodwill Testaments

me to know I have some Testaments doing their blessed work in China. I think the Lord has guided you to the most effective way of finishing up the work of evangelizing the world.”

a copy. What a magnificent opportun­ ity for every Sunday School scholar and Bible Class member and every be­ liever to show his or her goodwill to our Latin-American neighbors by sending one or ten or one hundred or more of the “Goodwill” Testaments. How Others Are Helping My Heart Has Been Burdened— “I am profoundly interested in your great and glorious work, and shall earnestly pray for its triumphant success. My heart has been burdened for just such a movement, and I wish I could send you a much larger contribution.” A Boston minister who sends a check for $25.00. Delightful and Untaught People— “My heart rebounded with joy at the pros­ pect of giving the Gospel through the Word itself to these delightful and untaught people.” May God Open Doors and Hearts— “May God open doors, and open hearts, and open the heavens, in an­ swer to our prayers. I only wish that I could send much more.” More Than Glad to Give— “I am more than glad to give to this cause. Latin- America has been in my heart for several years, and I will continue praying.” Will Enlist Prayer— “We are in sym­ pathy with your work, and will pray in the home, and enlist Bible Classes and Prayer Meetings to pray.” The Widow's Mite— “I am a poor widow woman, and am sending you the last dollar of my tithe money.” The Holy Spirit May Speak— “I am enclosing $5.00 toward Million Testa­ ments Campaign, praying the Holy Spirit may speak to every one who reads God’s Precious Word.”

Perhaps you heard of the wonder­ ful success of the Million Testaments Campaign for China. Now the Lord has sent a Macedonian Call for a similar campaign for the 90,000,000 people of Latin-America, our next- door neighbors. Millions of them have never seen or even heard of a Bible. Is it playing the part of a good neighbor to let them go on in darkness while we en­ joy all the blessings of an open Bible? A missionary traveler, who has just returned from Mexico, declares just now is the opportune moment to give the Word to the people of that land. He says the priests are not allowed to hold any services because they will not register. Hence, devout Catholics are beating their breasts and crying that there is now no mediator be­ tween them and God. Let us give them the Word that reveals the blessed and glorious Mediator, the Lord Jesus Christ. We want to distribute a million “Goodwill” Testaments carefully and prayerfully and quickly in Mexico and other Latin-America lands. How many will you send to “work for you” in the hearts and lives of boys and girls, and farmers and merchants, and prisoners and policemen and Indians, and the various classes and races? This is the first time an American President-elect has made a “Good­ will” visit to Latin-America. It is the opportunity of a lifetime to follow his “Goodwill” tour by sending “Good­ will” Testaments to shine for you in the hands and hearts of your Latin- American neighbors. The entire cost of producing and distributing the Testaments is only 25c

How Many Will You Send?

Each 25 cents pays for pro­ ducing and distributing one Testament. $2.50 will send ten Testa­ ments. $5.00 will send 20 Testa­ ments. $250.00 will send 1,000 Testaments. $1,000.00 will send 4,000 Testaments.

How Sunday Schools, Societies, and Churches Can Help If Sunday School Superintendents, Bible Class Leaders and Sunday School Teachers will send for a supply of the Prayer Cards—with map of Latin-America on the back—and give them out one Sunday, and take up an offering the next Sunday, you will be surprised at the enthusiasm aroused, and the blessing you will get and give.
