have been preached. Those in the highways as well as those in the
hedges have been reached. As men and women of every age have gone
forth to sell Object Lessons, and in simple words have told what they
were trying to do, a deep impression has been left on minds.—

Generous Cooperation of Publishing Houses—What may be
[367]
accomplished by self-denying effort is shown by the result of the sale
of Christ’s Object Lessons. In giving us this book, the Lord gave us
a great blessing. I praise Him with heart and soul that He put it into
my heart to give this book for the relief of the schools. I praise Him
that our publishing houses [
The publishing houses produced the relief
books at cost and passed them on without profit to the churches to be
sold.
] acted so generous a part in the work of preparing the book for
sale. And I praise Him that our people have put their hand so nobly
to the work of its circulation. The Lord has greatly blessed them. In
the effort to sell this book, they have learned by practical experience
what they can do for the advancement of the work. And they have
learned also how to speak to strangers about the truth. Through the
lessons contained in this book, sinners have been warned, convicted,
and converted.—

To Help Support School Work in Germany—My German
brethren and sisters in America, this message is given to me for you:
God has His faithful ones in Germany and in all the other countries
where Germans have scattered. Consider how much good you might
do, how many people you might help, by selling the German edition of
Christ’s Object Lessons, doing all you can by your labor and by your
means to share in the expense of establishing and carrying forward the
school work in Germany.—
