ENCOURAGING

By A. J. Cudney

BY A. J. CUDNEY.

I GIVE below some extracts from a letter received from a young man in Oregon, who a little over one year ago was a believer in spiritualism. The little pamphlet entitled, “Nature and Tendency of Modern Spiritualism,” was sent him. This little work served to reveal to him the dangers of the road in which he was traveling. He sent for more books and tracts, which he read himself, and then loaned to others. He is now rejoicing with us in the light of present truth. He writes:—

“Your kind letter came to hand a few days ago. Although we are strangers to each other, we are not strangers to the subject that should interest us both. I am still reading your books and the Bible. The Bible does not appear to me to be such a condensed book of enigmas as I used to consider it. I can see more consistency in it now than ever before. During the spring I am going to send for more tracts to give away. When I quit herding, I intend to be more active in distributing tracts and papers, both in Washington Territory and Oregon.”

May God bless the efforts of this dear brother, and water the seed of truth which he may sow in these new fields.
