May the blessings of God rest upon them.

Wednesday, August 11, was set aside by the citizens of Morrill for a general clean up of the town, and as a result of it our little city has been much improved in appearance. Now that we have a start in the cleaning up business let us set apart a day for every person in Morrill and vicinity to come to God and let Him do a cleaning up of the heart and thereby cleanse every one from all their sins and bad habits making them new creatures in Christ Jesus ready to meet our Lord in the air.

To The Saints of God Greeting. In presenting this, the first issue of Glad Tidings to the public we wish to say that it was thru prayer and faith the living faith that led us to go down into our pockets for the price and trust God for results. For some time the Lord seemed to impress on our mind the parable of the man who had received one talent and went and hid it. While praying about the matter the Holy Spirit showed us that a great many of God's children have been driven from the fold, out into the cold world, by cruel and unwise shepherds who love the "fleece" more than the sheep. From different parts we heard the cry of the lambs as they prayed and longed for a paper where every child of God, regardless of name and order, could have equal right at our Heavenly Father's table.

We are glad to say God heard and answered these prayers by putting the burden for this paper upon His church at Morrill. And what could we do but put our talents to use for the blessed Christ who died that we might live throughout eternity? We praise Him for giving us a part in this great work of salvation. The subscription price of Glad Tidings will be only 25 cents per year, in advance. This is such a small sum for a clean, neat little paper published twice each month, that every family can afford to take it. We hope every person receiving a copy will send 25 cents for a year's subscription, or better still send us a dollar for your own and three friends who would like to read a full gospel paper.

Write the names and addresses very plain that each subscriber will receive the paper regular. Let every one do their best i i wiiting and getting subscribers for Glad Tidings. God bless you all. Since Glad Tidings is given from God in answer to prayer we believe it would be just and right to publicly dedicate the same to Him and His kingdom, we do therefore humbly bow and present Glad Tidings to God, the Father, and Jesus Christ, His Son, our Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, our abiding Comforter. May Heaven's blessing rest and abide upon this and every subsequent issue we humbly ask in Jesus name.

C. M. Yearout, Wednesday afternoon from the Brethren church. We remember a number of years ago of meeting Albert in a meeting where the Spirit of God had wonderfully convicted him that he should give his heart to God and lead a different life. We remember well how the saints plead with him to yield to God and how the dear boy shook and trembled under such awful conviction, but he refused to yield at that time, and whether he ever had another call or not we do not know, but God does, and we know He doeth all things well.
