Pray for us that the Gospel may soon be sounded out throughout all this region, and for me that I may “fulfill the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus” and, as much as in me is, to declare the good news of His grace.

I thought you would be glad to get a line from us to hear of our work out here. I have four towns on my “circuit”—Mo­ dena, Newcastle, Beryl, Lund. We have nice, attentive audiences and the Word of our God is a great Power. “There is no word void of Power,” and if we exalt our Lord He has promised to “draw all men.” I often feel He is “drawing” men and wo­ men when I endeavor to give them His message, and what a Message 1 Certainly we are greatly blessed to be able to give out the glad news of the kindness of Go’d.
