Dear Auntie and Cousins: Here I come
again. l want to correct some mistakes.
Some of the cousins thought | was a boy.
[ am not boy; | am girl of eighteen
summers. As most of the cousins take

'What Is My Duty Toward Those Not Chris
tians:' l knew some of the cousins have
read this subject. for it is in the Is. y. Z.
L. quarterly. My duty to the lost is to win
them to the Savior. This is the most i'm
pOrtant duty which rests upon me as Il
Christian. This is my task for Jesus. Ger

know that 1t is their duty to try and save
the sinful souls for Christ. All Christians
