Alva, Woods Co., Okla., Dec. 20, 1900. Dear Sirs: Yours along with the books you sent were received last week and, as directed, the library was placed within the steel cage, where the prisoners could have free access to it. We would love to say a word of encouragement to the good people who are interesting themselves in behalf of the poor unfortunates behind iron bars, but we have not the command of language to express our admiration of this most commendable and noble work. No one can tell the good that may result from these silent companions, read by the poor unfortunates when shut in from the world. While we have never hoped to start a reform in prison life, we have often asked for more Christian interest in behalf of the prisoners. Accept our humble thanks for this most generous gift. ——, Former Jailer. California State Prison. Represa, Sacramento Co., Cal., Feb. 13, 1901. Gospel Trumpet Pub. Co., Moundsville, W. Va. Gentlemen: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of eight books for prison library. We are very grateful to receive anything in this line, and any sent will be thankfully received. Respectfully, ——, General Overseer. FROM A JAILER. Guthrie, Logan Co., Okla., June 14, 1901. Gospel Trumpet Publishing Co.:
