¿ ( 'D esides organising new schools wherever I /possible. I held evangelistic meetings and con- ducted evening Bible classes,” wrote Mission- ary Stewart from his headquarters at Tucson, Arizona. “To accommodate as many as pos sible, I occasionally appointed a meeting place out in the open under some of the live oaks, which trailed off down the washes issuing from the mountain canyons out into the prairie. “ On one such occasion, a badly discour aged and overworked rancher who had helped me arrange for a meeting, was very pessimistic of its success. Although at 10 a.m. only a few cattlemen had arrived, by 10:30 there were nearly a hundred people present, and we had a good service, both forenoon and afternoon. As a result, three girls were saved, one being the daughter of this man. That evening this discouraged rancher joyously exclaimed: ‘Brother Stewart, you kain’t sing fit to call the hogs, an’ I kain’t do much better: but we shore got ’em to singin’, and we had a good meetin’ .’ “While on a vacation, and camping near a school house where I had a Sunday School, the people accompanied us back to our camp, bringing their lunches with them. After lunch, they insisted that we hold a service for them under the oaks, and seven young people ac cepted the Lord. Three of these later became capable Christian workers.”
F.B.I.’s Hoover recently wrote: "The upward crime trend in the rural areas was more pro* nounced in 1946, with an in crease of 14% , exceeding that in the cities." There is but one remedy— the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, preached in redeeming and transforming power. This is the mission of the A.S.S.U .— we have no other. Jesus said: "G o out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke 14:23).
J esus and the disciples were sitting near the treasury. Many of the rich were casting in large sums. Then came the poor widow who gave two mites, which made a farthing. See ing this, Jesus said, “Verily I say unto you that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury.” To help you better understand the great, 133-year record of the American Bible So ciety, we have prepared a beautifully illus trated booklet, “Your Gift that Lives.” In it you will see pictures from many lands where the Society is now working. You will also find 31 questions and answers about American Bible Society Annuities. These Annuities pay you a regular income for life. Then a portion of your gift is used to print and distribute God’s Word to others in
many countries. May we send you a copy of “Your Gift that Lives” ? It is free.
