30 STEINBACH BIBLE ACADEMY YEAR BOOK iit eAteSw. Qo.ip.el Miiiian R.epo ' iti CANORA, SASK. Peter Martens and Family “And whosoever was not found writ¬ ten in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.” Rev. 20:15. For a number of years after becoming a Christian, this verse contained no spe¬ cial reality for me, although I did be¬ lieve it in a general way. Then about two years ago it became to me a moun¬ tain of stark reality. Namely, that“who- soever” includes everyone, civilized or heathen. ‘“Not found written in the book of life” means without spiritual life; and “was cast into the lake of fire,” means everlasting pain and torment, re¬ gardless of popular opinion or conjec¬ ture. With this in mind, together with the constraining love of Christ, we con¬ tinue in our labour for Him, counting it all joy. We are now stationed at Canora, Sask., where we, carry on Sunday School work and personal work. We also conduct an occasional cottage meeting. We trust that it will be possible to render Gospel ser¬ vices at different points in spring and summer. Our special concern is to see the sal¬ vation of souls in this community. Dear Christian friend, will you unite with us in believing prayer? Pray that God may be able to use us and that He may grant a great Spirit-manifested revival in this God-forsaking generation. God’s Word is plain. James 4:2 says, “ye have not be¬ cause ye ask not.” Therefore as children of our heavenly Father, let us ask ac¬ cording to his will and we shall have. Yours in His service, Peter Martens and family. Before the heart of the heathen will bow at the foot of the cross, the knees of Christians must bend before the Throne in prevailing, trusting prayer. —Selected. KAMSACK SASK. D. Schellenberg and Family We are thankful to God for calling us into His service. He led us step by step and then by His Holy Spirit gave us a knowledge of His will. Here is a resume of the work we are do¬ ing. We have the privilege of going into the schools and teaching God’s Word to the children. The co-operation of the teachers and pupils is in most cases very gratifying. We rejoice to think of them as a group of men and women who will be followers of Christ in the coming ge¬ neration. Will you pray with us that the Lord would give us wisdom and know¬ ledge in dealing with children? On Sundays we have two services; one about six miles north of Kamsack, on the Cote Indian Reserve. Here we minister to the spiritual needs of the Indians. In doing this we find that many are under the power of the adversary. Some are turning to Christ; others are indifferent. The other place of service is Verigin. The inhabitants of this district are main¬ ly Doukabors. A Russian speaking young man, who is a Christian, helps along here and preaches in Russian. We also rejoice to find earnest Chris¬ tians here in Kamsack with whom we have fellowship. We have a prayer meeting every Wednesday night in our home. As this is not a very convenient place for public gatherings, we are praying for a larger place or hall to assemble in. Will you join with us in this project? We be¬ lieve the Lord will answer our prayer. There are also countless opportunities of witnessing for Christ in different man¬ ners wherever we go. Dave Schellenberg and family. Don’t pray for tasks suited to your ca¬ pacity. Pray for a capacity suited to your task. — Dr. Max Reich.
