VIRGINIA SYNODS EVANGELISTIC AND
HOME MISSION WORK.
"UsE IT WHERE IT Will DO MOST GooD!n

THE WEST VIRGINIA STRANGERS GOOD EXAMPLE
There are many Christians who think that because
they have no religious privileges, they are excusable
from giving such privileges to others We have
no preaching, no pastor, services and we do NOT
feel called upon to give is the way they put it,
We mention below an example for all to follow
along this line. Here 1T is Two years ago the
Superintendent and Treasurer of Synod's Home
Missions received letter from perfect stranger far
away in the mountains of West Virginia and near
the border of Kentucky. This good stranger had
come across the name of the superintendent in some
way (possibly by reading one of his circulars etc)
and wrote to him. asking if he the right man to
receive funds for Home Mission work in the SYNOD
Virginia The superintendent lost no time in send
ing the brother his credentials as Treasurer along
with some information about the work By return
mail came letter enclosing check for 500 co. our
stranger friend adding these words: Use If whore
it will do most good"
This Christian man. so far as any religious privi-
leges are concerned is buried - in the mountains
OF west Virginia He is far from any preaching
point; never hears sermon; never joins in public
worship with Gou people, and yet as the above
and the sequel to this will show, he is doer of the
Word" and striking one He sent this S33 90
check year before last Last year the superintend-
ent received another letter. with the same postmark
and, breaking the SEAL out dropped another cheer,
for $780, with signature, with these words
" Use it in this section, if you can If not put If
where it is needed" and again. the first part of hs
year, came another letter postmark and same
name with check for $4,000 "for your great cause
When the Rev. Charles Myers, Williamson West
Virginia, received his recent cal' from West Virginia
to Portsmouth, Va, the first man that the super-
lntendent heard from West Virginia STRANGER

coming, especially if that interval be long the deptL
