Kind Words from our Customers. 



Friend Root:—l have read your Home sermon with 

 great interest. It couldn't be better, even if gotten up 

 by a minister of the gospel. I have been acquainted 

 with you only by reading Gleanings and the ABC 

 book. I am only a small bee-keeper. I have 21 stands. 

 My crop of honey is small this year— only 700 pounds. 



Well, brother Root, I can safely call you a brother in 

 the church of Christ. Oh, I wish there were more such 

 as you are ! I should vei'y much like to meet you and 

 have a good talk with you ; and if you should ever come 

 to Madison I should so much like to meet you ! I have 

 read your text several times, "The meek shall inherit 

 the earth." Yes, the people of God shall dwell in the 

 new Jerusalem which John saw coming down from God 

 outof heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her hus- 

 band. Thank the Lord for such a glorious promise. 



Arena, Wis., Sept. 5. O. Gunderson. 



Dear Brother Root:— 'No doubt you will be surprised 

 to get a letter of this kind from one you have never seen 

 or heard of ; but ever since I have been a reader of 

 Gleanings I have been very much interested in reading 

 your articles under the heading of Our Homes. I have 

 grown to (if I may be permitted to use the expression) 

 love you for the plain straightforward way you write, 

 whether preaching Christ as our loving Savior, or con- 

 demning saloons and breweries as the root of (I might 

 say) 95 per cent of the crime of our nation to-day. 

 When I read or hear of some one who loves God with all 

 his heart and soul, I feel just as if I should like to be 

 with him, and stay with him all the time. It makes me 

 think of the great gathering that is to be, when they 

 shall come from the north and the south, and the east 

 and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and 

 Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of God, and we are to 

 be made like unto our blessed Savior's most glorious 

 body. Well, God has blessed you for giving yourself to 

 do his work, and in the world to come he has promised 

 life everlasting. I am going to ask you. if you ever 

 come to Philadelphia, to come and see me. You will not 

 be coming to a rich man's mansion, but you will get a 

 welcome such as only true Christian people krow ho.v 

 to give each other. Leland C. Dunn.
