Coon, New Orleans.

 

Any good book or magazine may be secured through the Word and Work. We shall greatly appreciate it if our friends will turn all such business this way. It will cost them not a cent more, if as much, and it will help the Word and Work. Why not ?

Join me in praying that the seed of the Kingdom may grow and increase in fruitfulness.”

From W. N. Short, Africa: “Good crowds out to every service, and interest good. Pray for the work that we have a great reaping for the Lord. Our hearts rejoice to know of the glorious time the Sheriffs are having among the churches. Love to all the loved ones in the home land.”

We owe a word of explanation to those who have ordered R. H. Boll’s latest book, “The Kingdom of God,” in regard to the unexpected delay in delivery. It was our intention to put it on the press some time ago. But after Brother Boil’s Second Coming sermons (see page 234) drew out a score or more of questions in regard to “The Kingdom” he decided to enlarge the book, and incorporate his answers in an appendix. Brother Boll is now at work upon this additional matter, and we think the .350 copies which have been sold to date can be mailed out before long. The book will be all the better for the delay.
