BOTH IMPORTANT AND CHEAP LITERATURE.
Our tract list has now run up to sixteen different
tracts on special subjects, every one right to the point
on subjects that now should interest the people. They
embrace a total of three hundred and fifteen pages.
The pages are large, full size of our books. One size
page is standard for all our books. Hundreds of
verses of scripture are quoted in these unbound book-
lets. They are just the thing to give to, or loan or
sell, to those who wish to know the truth. The retail
price of all is one dollar and sixty cents. We will
furnish them all in one package for seventy-five cents
post paid.
We know of nothing in print that will give the
information on the Bible these will for the money.
They all make a good sized book. Who will order
them and go at the study of the Bible to know truth?
SORELY DISAPPOINTED.
On our return home July first we fully expected
to start out again August first for near three months
more labor in the field. But my wife has been so I
could not do that consistantly. It was difficult to
secure the help and hands to leave her in. She was
also too bad to leave. 1 dared not do it. So up to
this time I have cared for her, run the house and office.
I assure you I have been a busy man, early and late.
At this writing (Aug. 27) the last two days she seems
a shade better. But we fear nothing permanent. Her
trouble is a bad case of neuritis in her back and spine.
She suffers greatly. Nothing seems to give relief.
There were certain points in Colorado, Kansas,
Missouri, Illinois and Ohio we hoped to reach where
calls were in for us. God knows best.
We ventured to send an appointment to St. Louis
for Sept. 2, but seeing the situation and the anxiety
of it on our mind, fearing we could not leave, we
wrote and withdrew the appointment indefinitely. So
now all the spare time we can get we spend in the
office where we are needed and have been for some
time. Both our courage and health is good. It seems
that sufficient is our strength for the burdens to be
borne. We say to those who expected us, fo to work
the harder and lift the burden and God will help you.
It is a great disappointment to me not to see you and
labor with you for the cause of God. I have the faith
now that it will work for good though we cannot now
see wherein it will be. The promises of our God are
sure and we can trust him. Past experience gives
us confidence. The parties in Missouri, Illinois and
Ohio we hoped to meet we have never met, but we
feel acquainted with them in the Lord now, before
we see them.
Let all who read this ever remember that we are
busy and doing every day the work which we are
called of God to do. We are not negligent. Neither
have we lost a particle of interest nor faith in the sure
fulfillment of the promises of God. “Now the just
shall live by faith.” “But if any man drawn back my
soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
P. S. August 30 Mrs. Rupert seemed better.
The 31 still better. I telegraphed at once I would fill
my appointment at St. Louis the 2nd as I had recalled
it. Sept. 5th I write this and the interest is good.
Surely the way was opened just in time. Will say
more later about St. Louis. We mav be able to go
to other places also.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
We are so thankful the way has opened till this
office is supplied with a great, variety of books and
tracts till most all the vital*points which are intended
to help the Remnant people are now in print covering
the leading subjects which are intended to develop the
Nothing short of divine provi-
dence has brought this about. It has not been the
work of any man nor the wisdom of any man. But it
is simply the work of God in using ‘the weak things
of the world to confound the mighty.” God’s work
does not depend on the wisdom of men. The Lord
alone is head. He is the beginning and the end The
one whom he uses is left in wonderment how it has
been accomplished. The instrument is ever impressed
with the greatness of the power which works in a
manner to bring it to pass. For an example of the
many things we mention the tract of twenty-four pages
or more which has been placed in the French language.
With this we had nothing to do in the matter. The
first we knew God raised up a very capable man to do
the translating. The work was completed or nearly
so before we knew it was being done. Then it came
about that while other printers wanted near two
hundred dollars for the work of printing, Brother Ask,
an Armenian, who heard us in College View, who is
also a scholar, had become owner of a printing plant.
He offered to do the work for half the price, his plant
is in New York.
Soon as we found the work under headway the
means was needed. We had on hand one hundred
dollars just what was needed and we sent it at once.
Now I have no doubt nor worry about it, God was in
it and the result will be a success.
This is a sample of how things are brought about
in this work. We do each day what our hands find
to do, believing the Lord guides in each move. We
find it all works out for good and we have no trouble
with mistakes, for we depend on God each day and
ask him to keep us from mistakes and he does it. 1
have realized long years ago that no man has wisdom
to guide his own steps. They must be guided by the
Lord.
What the next move will be we know not, but
rest assured it will be in some way for the advancement
of the Lord’s work. We hold ourself ready as an
instrument for him to use.
Another strange thing about this brother who
went to New York was that he went the very next day,
if I remember right, after the meetings closed in
Pasadena, Calif. He took the books with him and all
his spare time is now devoted to writing and working
for others in the message. Through him the truth
is now in Europe, brought about by his correspondence
true Remnant people.
