PRISON LIBRARY DESTROYED BY FIRE. Nebraska State Penitentiary. Lancaster, Neb., March 7, 1901. Dear Sirs: Your consignment of eight books at hand, which is very much appreciated. We are doubly unfortunate at the present time, as we have just lost our entire library by fire. We realize too with you that imprisonment is the turning-point for the better in some men’s lives, as we see it exemplified here. At some future time we will send you for publication the views of some of the above men who believe they have been benefited by their prison experience. Thanking you again for the books sent, and in advance for any books you may see fit to send us, we remain, Yours respectfully, ——, Librarian. Clinton Prison. Dannemora, N. Y., March 8, 1901. Gospel Trumpet Publishing Co., Moundsville, W. Va. Gentlemen: The books and tracts so kindly forwarded by you for the use of the prisoners in this prison have been received, and the note enclosed to the warden handed me for reply. Having charge of all literary material that comes into the prison, I take great pleasure in acknowledging receipt of same; and would extend to you my personal thanks, as also the gratitude of those whom this material was designed to benefit. I am glad that the spirit of the “inasmuch” as inculcated by the Lord Jesus, in relation to those who are in prison, is occasionally manifested, and that the rush and friction of wordliness does not wholly shut out from view the moral and religious needs of the “men behind the bars.” The good people to whom you refer in your letter, who are endeavoring to supply our prisons with good and wholesome literature, are entitled to great credit for their efforts in this direction, in these last days of the dispensation. May the blessings of our Divine Master be with them in their good work. Sincerely yours, ——, Chaplain. Iowa State Penitentiary. Fort Madison, Iowa, March 17, 1901. The Gospel Trumpet Publishing Co., Moundsville, W. Va. Gentlemen: The books sent by you to the penitentiary have been received, and will be placed in the hands of the men. Thanking you for the same, I am, Sincerely yours, ——, Chaplain. Onondaga County Penitentiary. Syracuse, N. Y., Jan. 17, 1901. Dear Sirs: Received three packages of books from Gospel Trumpet Publishing Co., Moundsville, W. Va., for the benefit of the convicts in our institution. Hope the gift is accompanied by the prayers of all concerned in the donation. Yours truly, ——, Chaplain. Kansas State Prison. Lansing, Kans., March 6, 1901. The Gospel Trumpet Pub.
