Dear Friend
                   I have been requested to ask five friends to join us
in prayer that God will bless the Missionaries in their work, and
raise up young men and women to go forth with the glad tidings
to those who have never heard.
     Please write coppies of this letter to five friends, without delay,
giving to each the number next to this. Send each to one you know
will fulfill the conditions. Pray that the chain may not be broken.
If you cannot comply, notify us that the chain is broken.
    Yours in the Masters Service
           Mrs. R. H. Leonard
                6 ½  N. 4th St.
                                  Minneapolis,
