We Must Go on

A very dear Christian friend of mine wrote me the other day and said, “I am going on doing, and asking to go soon.” She is 89, and has been a Christian, for 80 years and working for Christ all the time. Still going on, and asking to go soon. What a blessed life!
God help us still to go on, and to be waiting for Him to fetch us home. We belong to Him; left here for a little to work for Him―but with the light of the setting sun around us, and the mist of eventide falling on the soul and the sweet bells of heaven sounding out the promises; may heaven seem nearer and Christ be dearer, all the time and all the way. The pilgrim staff will not be needed in glory. The work and the journey will be over. We shall have no more parcels to send bearing their precious seed all over the world. It will be “harvest home” then: days of fruition. If every one of the Testaments we have sent this year so far wins one soul only for Christ, it will mean 50,000 precious souls and more. But one Testament may mean 100 souls for Christ. Let us work together a little longer. God is trying our faith about these Testaments. Pray with us that they may come speedily, for Christ is coming, and everything points to His speedy return. Some may blame my persistency, but if I could have 100,000 Testaments this month they would all be used in His service and I trust, with my heart, for His glory. Face to face with the world’s need and with eternity, I would pray as did a devoted Christian prostrate before God, who cried, “Oh Christ give me a little glimpse of the worth of a human soul.”

MY Dear Friends, my first word for November must be Testaments. We want Testaments at once
About the Children
I want in this number of “A Message from God” to speak earnestly about the need of prayerfully continuous work among the children of our nation and other lands. The need of Bibles and Testaments in our Sunday Schools and Council Schools is ever being brought before us. I feel a chance is now given to every Christian, who is faced with a knowledge of the fearful danger the children are in, to do now, what it may not be possible to be done for this generation in five or ten years’ time.
The devil is seeking to snatch the children from their mothers’ arms, so that from the cradle to the grave they may be his. Read the following: ―
