gestion that I have not had q glimpse
Of his great, generous heart
It is q matter Of small concern to
me what methods Mr.. Sunday may
use. am not at all disturbed that
he should be using methods which are

Jones never said better word than
when he said God never made two

but am filled with rejoicing that Mr..
Sunday is just himself, honest, sim
cere, devoted to Christ and filed with
an intense longing to see others accept
him as their Savior, and I shall ever
pray that God may long spare him
for his work. and that his career OF
usefulness may be greater and greater
as the days pass by.
It has been my privilege to influence
a number of men to enter the min
istry, and has also been my great joy
to encourage number to take up the
evangelistic work, and so far as have
been able to do so / have sought to
encourage them in their efforts and
give unsparingly of my influence to
make their work owned and blessed
of God, but Of all with whom have
come in contact must say that am
more grateful to God for Mr.. Sunday
and for his ministry than / can ever
