. To EDITORS AND OTHERS.-Anv matter in this Paper may be re-printed on condition that full
acknowledgment is made thus :-” From ’ Confidence,’ Sunderland, England.”

The first number of /(Confidence” was issued in 1908 bv the present Editor. It was welcomed
by very many. He has gladly continued, therefore, to edit anh issue it each month since. It was the
outcome of a Spiritual Revival which commenced at r\ll Saints’. Sunderland, September, 1907. Visitors
journeyed from all parts of Great Britain and from the Continen! to receive the Baptism of the Holy
Ghost. In most cases they returned joyfully, to become centres of blessing. A veariv Conference
has been held at Whitsuntide. Visitors from home and foreign lands came ;n 1a;ge numbers,
and returned to spread :he blessing further. I‘ Confidence” was the first British Pentecostal Paper
which told of this Outpouring with the Sign of Tongues. This Paper travels to nearlv every country
on the Giobe. “Confidence” advocates ao unlimited Salvation for Spirit? Soul. and Body; the
Honouring of the Precious Blood: Identification with Christ in Death and Resurrection, etc. ;
Regeneration, Sanctification ; the Bapiism of the Holy Ghost ; the Soon-Coming of the Lord in the
air (1 Thess. iv., 14) ; Divine Healing and Health (Acts iv., 13). The issue of “ Confidence” has been
greatly blessed, and the Editor is thankful to the many friends around the world (see list) whose prayers
and help have been used of God to encourage him month by month. His desire, and that of his
helpers, is that ever in this Paper ‘I He (Chris! Jesus1 mav have the ore-eminence.” “Brethren, pray for
us, that the 1Vord of the Lord may have free course and be glorified”--‘7 Thess. iii., 1.

Pray also for the girls’ school. There are
41 on the roll now, and an average attendance
of 35 to 38 daily. Scripture reading, memoris-

with them daily. Do pray for these little girls
and Purdah women that they may find Christ
and know the joy of belonging to His fold.

would ask you to pray the Lord of the harvest
to send us out to take them the message of life.
It’s a very difficult and perilous task;entailing
much physical hardship and many privations,
and the want of even necessary:things ; withal,
it requires money to penetrate into these
recesses of the mountains, but we have proved,
thank God, that He is able to supply all our
needs, and so we ask that every necessary thing
may be provided, and we may be enabled to go
out this summer and stay through the autumn.
Pray for us !
