Dear Brother :
I have been reading, or rather re-reading, " Lectures on Judges," by S. R., which I believe were given by the Spirit of God for these last days. We have not profited by them as we should-perhaps not realizing our state when they were first given. But the aftermath of war makes manifest that many have either not known or forgotten the truth brought out in these Lectures. Laodicean self-complacency and self-indulgence is what we are to fear. Samson's self-indulgence was his ruin, and he knew not that his strength was gone.
I have been exercised how to get this book read by those who have never read it, and re-read by those who have, as I believe it meets the great need among the Lord's people to-day. So I have thought you might put in something as to this in Help and Food. If any have not the book but will carefully read one or two chapters per week, you may send it at half-price, postpaid, and to invalids or such as are unable to pay, free, and let me know the cost. Affectionately in Christ, H. L. Q.
The Introduction to this book will be found in this number (pages 175-182), and will show its character. Some parts may be found difficult, especially the significance of names and their applications, but the earnest reader will not go unrewarded. We earnestly hope our brother's suggestion will be followed by very many. The price is $1 in cloth, and 50 cents. in paper covers. Any who desire it at half-price, or entirely free as per above offer, will please say so, and it will be sent at once. Editor.
