ECHOES FROM THE FIELD.

must make the best of it.” During
his suffering his face wore an expres-
sion of peace which became almost a
smile in death and trasformed his
poor, burned features so completely
that one could almost read in them
the words of the example he had been
studying: “Though he slay me, yet
will IT trust in him.”

THE GOSPEL FOR OUR PRISON
POPULATION.
A copy of the April Life Boat will
be placed by prison officials in fifty
thousand prison cells of this land. By
this means, with one stroke, nearly
the entire prison population of this
country will be reached. The Lord
has used The Life Boat to win the
heart of nearly every prison official
in the land and they recognize it as a
great help to them in their work.
As the fruit of our Life Boat prison
work, several splendid men have been
baptized and united with our church,
and a host of others have been
changed from desperate characters to
meek and lowly searchers after truth.
We are in constant communication
with several hundred prisoners and
we find it the most encouraging line
of missionary work we have ever un-
dertaken.
The April Life Boat will not only
contain many encouraging experi-
ences, but stirring articles from a
number of experienced workers. It
will contain about twenty illustrations.
This number will be furnished in
any quantity at two cents each.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
The quarterly meeting for the Den-
ver church will be held Sabbath,
April 2, in connection: with the
morning service. We trust that all
the members, who possibly can, will
be present. We all need the blessing
of this meeting.
