1912 Watch Tower - A2Z.org

Europe were at times very interesting and brought great blessingsto me. I can say in truth that I am glad I was able togo out there; but how happy I was when the time came tocome back! I was away just three months.I intended to send some little report to you on your trip,but thought you will get so much mail all the time that somany letters might bother you. I myself did not get any.Even though the children wrote, the letters never came.I found very many hungry Christians in Germany whowere glad to hear the good news. I spent many half nightstelling the glad story. It was very strange to my relatives.Seven years ago I sent them each the three volumes, but notone of them had read, but had loaned them all. Someof the books traveled a long distance, to Munich, and wereread by a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister and others.Some of them went to Colmar, and others were loaned andnot returned. Strange to say, my friends were consecratedChristians and praying for more light all the time. Whenthey heard that I was coming they hoped I would bring themsome Truth, and when they heard the glad tidings they acceptedit. They seemed to me to be quite able to grasp theTruth. My dear brother, who knew nothing but Catholicism,cried for joy. Five of my relatives have now accepted theTruth.And now, praying that grace and peace may be multipliedunto you, I remain,Your sister in Christ, F.

It was truly a"holy week" to us.Last Sunday, at the close of the afternoon service at Lynn,I told the friends of our intention to re-unite with the BostonClass, I. B. S. A. At the conclusion of my remarks prayerwas offered and we sang, "Blest be the tie," etc. We believewe left with the good will of the entire Class.We then proceeded to Boston, arriving there in time forthe evening meeting. After a few testimonies had been givenI gave mine, reminding the friends that if we had any differencesto settle with one another--not hereafter, but right here,these things must be adjusted.I then confessed having made some unintentional mistakeswhich I feared had caused them unnecessary pain, and that Iwas truly repentant and asked their forgiveness, also requestingthat we might have closer fellowship with the dear BostonClass.We were assured of their forgiveness, and after severalhad expressed their joy in hearing our words (for I assured
