Instructing Mexican Converts We are greatly encouraged with our groups of believers whom we are in structing in the Gospel of John and we praise God for the growth of grace manifested and the transformation in their lives.

One young man brings his mother and aunt and uncle to the meet ings. Another encouraging sign on the part of the converts and some of the uncon verted is the purchasing of Bibles.

In com mon with many other Jewish people she has had' to face a storm of persecution from relatives. At the conclusion of the baptismal service the cpmpany adjourned to the Lyceum Club Room where a Gospel service was held. A splendid musical program, strictly devotional in character, was enjoyed by all. Mr. W. E. Black- stone, perhaps the oldest living Zionist and well known friend of Israel,', together with Rev. T. C. Horton, superintendent of the Bible Institute, were the speakers of the evening. Both speakers -made strong appeals to the minds, the hearts
