He also believed in the restoration of theJewish race to Palestine, and I was surprised to find him wellinformed and versed on these topics according to the Law andthe Prophets. After the conversation with him, he bought thefirst and second Vols. and said: "If I like it, I will also get thatjournal," which I meanwhile had recommended to him. Andleaving him he said, "I am glad that I have met you," to which Iresponded and wished him the Hebrew-departure.I also met an old soldier who was much taken with name andcontents of MILLENNIAL DAWN. He bought the first Vol.,and as my lodging-place was near his home I had opportunity totalk to him several times and he was willing to hear.Monday, the 9th of this month, I left L__________, and arrivedsafely at Steubenville. I went right to work, beginning at thedepot, and sold the remainder of that day 18 copies of DAWN;Tuesday 22; Wednesday __________; Thursday 32; Friday 18;and Saturday 31. On Wednesday I toiled all day, a long day, too,but I "caught nothing." It reminded me of John 21:3. But onThursday I did well, as you see.Yours in the service of the Anointed, and with kind regards toall at the office and at home.J. A.
