It was certainlynot Self-Pity that lodged with the Man on theShelf. Rather, I think of him as one who inhis lack looks daily to his God and bravelycries: I do not pray that Thoui Keep me from any wound, Though I fall low from thrust and blow, Forced fighting to the ground;But give me wit to hide My hurt from all mens for my need, the while I bleed, Lord, grant me strength to fight. 154 American Messenger September, 1916. WITH OUR MISSIONARY COLPORTERS. Among the Mormons Rev. Henry W. Pratt has served for manyyears as a missionary colporter of the AmericanTract Society. His special field of labor hasbeen among the Mormons, but he has alsobeen able to minister to the spiritual needs ofmany non-Mormons. Some time ago he carriedon a good work among the miners located inthe mining town of Helper, Utah, of whichwe have an excellent view in the picture beforeus. In a recent report Mr. Pratt writes: I returned on the first of the month froma trip to Idaho. It was a hard trip, physically,mentally and spiritually, and I was remindedof my Scripture motto, Endure hardness as agood soldier of Jesus Christ. The message,We are praying for you, that comes to mefrom the Tract Society from time to time, isan inspiring one, and I know that the prayersare answered, for I am helped in my work,and my Leader goes before me, and I followHim. Often as I stand at the door of a home Ihave to say, I am not a book agent nor acommercial man,
