My dear Sister in Christ: Having in my heart a desire to visit in a journey of 4 or 5 months, regions where there are thousands of souls without even one preacher of the gospel to announce the good news of salvation by faith, and being assured that it is the will of the Lord to do so, and after much prayer, I am thinking that, if the Lord tarries His coming, and requiring for such a visit a good quantity of tracts, and booklets in Spanish for free distribution, I am writing you and praying the Lord to indicate to you His will. It would be a great joy to me if you could help in this way by sending a fair numbers of tracts, “Mensajes de Amor,” as I desire to visit the houses one by one, and hold evangelistic meetings wherever possible, for 3 to 15 days successively, according to interest on the part of the people. I think I shall be able to reach in this way 250,000. In these parts there are no workers, and I desire that they have an opportunity of hearing the gospel, and I believe He will supply all. In Him we confide, and none are put to shame who trust in Him. Praise His name.
Supplicating your prayers, I remain,
Yours in His service until His coming,

Dear Sister in Christ,
I have received the “Messages of Love” for June and July. Very many thanks for them. As you will have learned I have a daily school for children numbering over a hundred, and also a Sunday School in this place for boys and girls. I am very much pleased with the paper, as are also the children, who appreciate it greatly. Receive my thanks and transmit them to whoever is interested in this work, knowing that our “labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
Yours in Christ,
J. B. G.

My esteemed Sister in the Lord:—
Thank you for your kindness in answering my letter with a promise of sending me fifty copies of the “Messages of Love,” of which the first package has already been received.
I know that God, according to His promise in Isaiah 55:1111So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) “will not let His word return void.” I also send out much by mail. When I am traveling and see some who have an interest in the things of the soul, I ask for their address in order to send them tracts and periodicals by mail, hoping that some may be saved. I am sure that the Lord will bless your desire to send us the “Messages of Love,” and will enable us to put them into the hands of the people. I have the testimony of many souls who have been saved by receiving tracts.
Praying that the Lord will bless you greatly, I remain,
Your grateful friend and brother in the Lord,
M. M.
