the feeling Of disgust with my
self because Of the foolish risk I
had taken In going through the VII

out of me. and I could feel myself
whiting as the soldier advanced to the
spot where I stood rooted In my
tracks.
Ihad q bottle Of water in one pocket

as the Hun advanced to search me l
held the bottle up In one hand and
the piece Of bread In the other SO that
he could see that was all l had.
It occurred to me that he would

me under arrest and march me of to

there didn't seem to be much use In

two other German soldiers within q

Like q fash It suddenly dawned on
me. however, that for all this soldier
could have known I was only a Bel
gian peasant and that his object In
searching me. which he proceeded to
do. was to ascertain whether / had
committed the common "crime" Of
smuggling potatoes.
The Belgians were allowed only a
certain amount Of potatoes. and 1t Is
against the laws laid down by the
Huns to deal III vegetables of any
kind except under the rigid supervl-

1t was one Of the principal vocations
Of the average poor Belgian to buy
potatoes out In the country from
peasants and then smuggle them into
the large cities and sell them clan
destinely at a high price.
To stop this traffic In potatoes, the
German soldiers were In the habit OF
subjecting the Belgians to frequent
search, and ! was being held up BY
this soldier for no other reason than
Tat he thought l might be q potato

He felt Of my outside clothes and
pockets. and finding NO potatoes

Dear Bro. L. s. Garrett,

Dear Bro. L. s. Garrett,
As I have just read your last
paper I am now rejoicing to see.
that the Everlasting Gospel is
now beginning to be- sounded
there is to be seven Of US to sound
the first angel souudio n, 25
years ago, and the second angel
has now sounded to you and The
other 5 angels is to sound to
them that the Lord has called on
for this great work.
pray it may be that the Lord
has chosen some one in your Col.
ony the seven is TO oe made up
soon and will all preach the Ever
lasting Gospel they are TO show
forth the full salvation, they are
to lead the people out of dark
ness into the true :ighr and 10 re-
store back 10 the churches the
first love and the firth that was
once delivered to the saints this
full salvation is now to be preach
and them that will hear and
accept will certainly never die,
So you see that Paul seen a
time in the future that the Ever
lasting Gospel would be preach
ed anG some would accept Of the
the full salvation,
/, Paul could only preach the
common salvation and that would
Lot save anyone from death.
So we see nov plainly what he
ment when he said So then

you. This is 2ud. Cor. -12Ih YER

See how plain this is and yet
the world has failed to see II. the
Apostles all knew to 60 thru the

that we might've. 's'~-'a '-'rr
Bro. Garrett you have started
with this great work just right
and l tell you it is going to dc
more good than any work evel
done vet. on this earth. I dom
wonder al Christ saying what ht
did when He was performing al
kinds of myric les, even raising
the dead to life, and saying tha
we could yet do greater things
than he was seen to do.
But this Is certainly true no on
can deny this for it is the word
spoken out Of the mouth OF ou
Lord himelf, and no one can dis
pute it.
So the work we are now ente
ing into is the greatest OF all to
this work will bring uan inl
