These Christian motto calendars are hung up in their cells and are read over and over many times a day--such as these: O! the things WE call the LITTLE sins, Are hateful in GOD’S SIGHT; HE counts NO SIN a LITTLE sin, Nor calls a WRONG DEED--Right! And BEGIN thou first with LITTLE THINGS, The smallest SIN AVOID and HATE; Obedience to LOVE adds wings, And LITTLE faith will grow to GREAT. The statutes of the LORD are RIGHT--! REJOICING the HEART. (PSALM XIX: 8) These silent messengers may be the means, under the blessing of our Heavenly Father, of reaching many souls and bringing them to Christ, their Saviour. SOME CASES OF INTEREST WHICH HAVE COME TO OUR NOTICE. A young man left the Eastern Penitentiary, perhaps three years ago, for one of the cities in Western Pennsylvania, determined to lead a new life. He gave assurance of having sought and found in our Lord Jesus Christ a full pardon for his old life and of his earnest purpose to walk in newness of life. He joined the Methodist Church, got good work, married, and has recently sent to his visitor, a member of our committee, a picture of their little baby. He writes a bright, happy letter. A man who, while in the Penitentiary, seemed to feel the tremendous evil of his past life and an earnest desire for a better one, was led, as we believe, to pray and trust God’s spirit, we felt worked with him and not in vain. He went into a foreign country, and a few days ago we received a letter from him dated January 4, 1901, bright and happy, hoping soon to return. About nine years ago a man left the Penitentiary and went to work for his brother-in-law, who was a baker, getting his board only. After some months he came to me saying he wanted to earn some money for himself, and asked me to get him work, even if it was as a laborer on the street. I dissuaded him from that, and encouraged him to remain, so that he might not only learn the business, but also to establish for himself a reputation. This advice was taken; he joined the Episcopal Church. I received a letter from his rector speaking in high terms of him. He afterwards went to another brother-in-law in one of the interior cities of our State. He remained there long enough to become thoroughly acquainted with that branch of business, saving up all his wages--to-day he has two establishments of his own, is married, and doing well. Another is that of one who had a sentence of over twenty years for atrocious cruelty to an elderly couple in connection with a burglary--his second conviction. It seemed almost a hopeless case, but he was taken in hand by a faithful Christian member of our committee, joined the Episcopal Church, and is a sincere Christian, faithful, and trusted by his employer; has been out over ten years.
