JAMESTOWN, N. Y. 



(W. M. Gerrish, East Nottingham, N. H., carries a com- 

 plete line of our goods at catalog prices. New England customers 

 save freight by ordering of him.) 



Kind Words from our Customers. 



I think Gleanings is a cheap paper at the price. 

 The more I read it the better I like it. 

 Morgauton, N. C, July 3. J. S. Parsons. 



I have taketi Gleanings longer than I ever took 

 any one paper before, and I expect to take it as long 

 as I can find a dollar to pay for it. 



Abingdon, Va., June 13. W. Mixton Moore. 



The two Italian queens which I bought of you about 

 two years ago at S2.2.5 each, are ahead of every thing I 

 have ever tried. They are the best workers and finest 

 bees of my 00 colonies. Tofield Lehman. 



Elgin, Iowa, July 4. 



I had planned to go on an excursion to Chautauqua 

 to-day ; but after leading the letter from Mr. King in 

 last Gleanings I concluded to stay at home and send 

 to you the money my ticket would cost, as a contribu- 

 ion to the India relief fund. Inclosed find money or- 

 der for $2.00. J. Mattoon. 



Atwater, O., July 22. 



A kind word, and something else, for starv- 

 ing INDIA. 

 Bro. Root : — Inclosed please find $.50.00 for India re- 

 lief fund. 



I should have been better pleased if Bro. King had 

 told of some spiritual effect his ministration had made 

 on those people. If missionaries busy themselves 

 simply or mostly in feeding those poor souls, what 

 more than nature (human nature) will be manifested? 

 We need to partake of his diidne nature, and adminis- 

 ter it to effect much good. The principal effort of the 

 missionary should be to lead those wayward heathen 



to repentance. God now has a speedier, cheaper, and 

 belter way of saving men than he had in ancient times, 

 through his Son. through manifestation of his Spirit. 

 The government might .save 5,000,000 naturally, and 

 nut save .50 spiritually ; and a missionary with a heart 

 burdened for souls might save .500 with from 81000 to 

 f.5000. I would rather save one soul than 10,000 bodies. 



R. F. Whiteside. 

 l,ittle Brittain, Ont., Sept. 26. 



Permit me to explain to our readers that the above 

 comes from one of ihe old veterans: in fact, [ rather 

 think friend Whiteside was among the very first who 

 subscribed for Gleanings when it was only a quarter- 

 ly, '11 years ago. Perhaps many of us have felt just as 

 he does, that this grand opportunity of leading souls 

 to Christ Jesus should not be lost. Of course, he be- 

 lieves in saving the bodies or he would not have made 

 this generous contribution. Very likely, while so 

 man}' are starving just because the missionaries can 

 not get around to them fast enough, the work is. most- 

 ly concentrated in the work of saving the bodies ; but 

 when physical relief has been given, I am sure every 

 missionary will enter into the work, heart and soul, of 

 bringing souls into the kingdom.
