"Helping the Helpless to Help Themselves."
JAILER PFLANZ PAYS A HIGH COMPLIMENT TO EVANGELIST GEO. L. HERR
Louisville, Ky., March 12, 1901.
Mr. Geo. L. Herr,
Dear Sir: I have recently been asked by several persons on different occasions if I thought much good could come out of the rescue work done at the county jail. In every instance I would answer "yes." A great deal of good is done through the Christian workers, and especially by you, who not only give your time and attention to this work, preaching the gospel on the Sabbath, but on every day of your life doing everything in your power to lighten the burden of the unfortunates confined in the jail.
My glad heart says in the language of the Psalmist: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."
Rev. C. S. HANLEY
President of International Federation of Christian Workers, by whom we were ordained in Chicago, Ill., in 1907.
I have known prisoners of all classes look forward to your arrival each day with gladness, knowing that if you did not have something to distribute among them you would give them a cheery good morning.
