"I am returning the letters and thank you most sincerely for letting me read them, as it made me very happy.

"The times are so sad now. Nothing but war. Many of the young men whom I once taught are enlisting. If I did not have " the Truth " now, I do not know how I could stand life's sorrows. Isn't the Bible a beautiful book! I never appreciated it before. It is just as it says in the Book of Ruth, "handfuls of purpose" are let fall for the gleaner. It would seem that I have been blind. Isn't it true that one cannot inherit spiritual truth, cannot be made to receive it as a child is made to learn a lesson; cannot imitate another's belief; cannot be inspired by some one else's happiness; but has to see for himself! And what does he see? christ-the Way, the Truth, and the Life! " May everyone of our readers find indeed God's book "a beautiful book "-a precious book, an enlightening book, "making wise the simple" and leading the soul into what is truly life-life according to God, not the vain show which so many make it.-[ED.
