LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Athens, Gal enclose 20 cents lOF d
sub to your paper. Doubtless you
never heard of me, but I am a fellow
down acre in Georgia. I wish to say
you are talking now. You are saying
something in your paper. l have
been borrowing the paper and reading
it occasionally for quite awhile, but
must have each number from now on.
Your Bible talks are what all are
needing, you are right. You know
something about the Bible, I can tell
all right. But I am sad to say that
most of your readers will prefer the
style of your writing heretofore. 1t
is alarming to say such a thing, but
that is this age. May the Lord richly
bless you in your efforts. ooh, yes,
Bro. Vaughn, I have been knowing
you for several years. The churches
and Sunday Schools all about here use
your music books. Mighty glad to
hear from you. And I am pleased
to inform you that you are mistaken
about one thing. The people do MOI
prefer my former style of writing.
They had grown tired of that (even
as l had) because there was nothing
in it to satisfy a questioning soul in
these days of trouble. But they are
Just running over each other to get
my New Message I just wish you
could be here and see how my daily
bunch of letter mail has swelled since
l made the change. Yes sir, the peo-
pie are waking up and doing some
serious THINKING these days. And
after. everything else has failed they
are finding a new and joyful message
in the same. old Book. I am only
helping to point it out. Tell every
body to come along.-James .Larkin
Pearson, Editor.)
S. Davis, Fairburg, Nebr:-Dear
Sir:-I. don't amount to. but little, but
I see that you are now going to
amount to far more than you may be
aware Of. So I here-am going to sug-
gest a new name for your paper
THE EQUILIBRIUM. I know not of
a paper in existence of that name.
Just sit down a few minutes and
scratch your head and think, and you
will begin to. see that that name
covers the whole world in the new
order Of things coming on. Your
July issue tells a whole wagon load of
truth. Now I have been writing a
book for; the past three years on the
line of Luke 2:!49, and when I get it
finished it will be only az small book,
but I write it slow SO as to get the
truth as strong as I am able. The
last chapter which [ have so far writ
ten for my book is on the second
coming of Jesus. 1t looks to me like
the reason you are wanting a new
name for your paper is the fact that
you are inspired by the Lord to &C
forward and launch a strong paper
for His coming Kingdom, as Jesus is
now moving to set up His Kingdom
on top of all these falling kingdoms
as we read in Daniel 2:44. [ am 6
poor man financially and can do nc
work only attend to my sons garden
but would be glad to help you if
could with money to spread your new
good work. [ am no account to ge
subscribers for a newspaper, but
will see if I can put some little boy:
to work here and see what they cal
do. CThanks, Bro. Davis, for you
kind and helpful letter, also for thu
suggestion o make in regard to
new name for the paper. "The Equi
lbrium" is q good name and cover
plenty of territory, as you say, bu
there is n special reason why I ha'
already settled on "Good News. a
the new name. A few years ago m,
invalid wife published a paper Gale
Good News" right along this sam
line. But her health got so bad sh
had to give it up. 1t is for her SAX
that [ am 10Y reviving the name
