THE KINGÌSi BUSINESS
The Work in William Sloan, rT ' HE month has been spent in La Habra and Olinda. The audiences have been good and our best service has been rendered. Thirty meetings were held and graciously received. Ten persons have come into the church. “ Christian Sci entists” and Russellites have been working against the truth and have been angered by our presentation of the Word, some have been helped out of these falacies and shown how to meet these agencies. I n A ppreciation : The La Habra Meth odist Church is deeply grateful and indebted to the Bible Institute for sending out such workers as Brother Sloan and J. J. Lines to us.

We have taken work at Alhambra, where we find a large number of Mexicans, among whom no Gospel work is being done. A tent has been put up there for Gospel and Bible school work.

He mistreated his family shamefully and for months had been separated from his wife, although they had four bright children. She was first to confess the Lord. He con- ' fessed later, but was not willing to return to his wife. However, he quit gambling and drinking and was often found talking to others about the Gospel.
