food and clothing but spiritual
food and asking for literature.
We have sent the items re-
quested, and our many thanks
to one and all who have made
it possible, but we will have
to keep the good work going,
so while we have good wages
and are able to support the
missionary work, let us do
what we can. We also receiv-
ed word from Hungaria and
were able to send them a sup
ply. 1t takes a couple of months
to arrive but have received
word that some of it has ar
rived. Every package has been
followed by earnest prayer to
God that it might arrive in
good order to the right party.
Since December, 1916, we
have sent twenty packages
varying in weight from II to
40 pounds, supplying them
with soap, black and white
thread Gas it is impossible to
buy these items), also dry
food, at an approximate cost
of $4,000. About thirty per-
sons have acted as agents for
distributing the packages to
others. The letters received
not only express their thanks
but also their prayers that God
will bless one and all who have
made it possible to send the
things so badly needed.
1t will be a long time before
things will be normal again in
Europe, and many requests for
help will come in these troub-

ball rolling and pray that God
will bless one and all who have
so nobly responded.

OUR MISSIONARY WORK
IN EUROPE.

day or the emo OIL CHo w OIIu
War II, we have been sending
gift packages to Europe to the
members of the Dutch Branch
and also others who have re-
ceived Zion literature and
written to headquarters for
aid, stating that they were
very much in need of shoes,
clothing and food.
In the beginning I sent some
packages to my nearest kin,
and some of the members of
the Branch in Amsterdam,
Holland, and paid for it my
self but I could not keep this
up. I told General Overseer
Mintern of these difficulties
and he told me to report the
cost and he sent the gift pack
ages from that time on from
the missionary fund, and this
has enabled me to carry on
this good work. 1t has enabled
mothers to have clothes for
their newly born babes, and
the other children who were
clad in almost nothing. For six
long years they had not been
able to buy any clothes and
cannot get any now, so we
have kept up the good work.
Hundreds of people have
been helped and we have re-
ceived many yetters of appre-
citation and many prayers of
Thanksgiving have gone up to
the Throne of God for the won
derful blessings received. If all
the letters we have received
were printed it would fill
good-size paper and sound like
a repetition but we are quot
ing sampler:
"Thanks be to God for the
package you were able to send
me. The shoes and clothes fit
as if they were made for me.
Our Father in Heaven knows
and must have put it in your
mind to put those things in
the package.
To those who can read Eng
lish I have taken the oppor-
tunity of sending Leaves of
Healing and The Theocrat,
also the Bible School Lessons,
which they enjoy very much,
as they not only need physi-
cal but spiritual help. This ter
rible war has done great dam
age to the spiritual welfare of
the people of Europe, causing
much hatred, and it will be a
long time before a reconcillia-
ton can take place. The cruel
ty and suffering endured by
many cannot be so easily for
gotten. Many families are liv-
ing together in order to have
a roof over their heads and
many thousands are homeless.
We have received word re-
Gently from Germany that it
is even worse there than in
The Netherlands. The destruc-
ton of cities, roads, and rail-
roads has hampered transport
tation. It makes the distribu-
