who are constantly d rifting in and, through personal work, receive Christ. One of these lads, Archie, had been dealt with. One day he brought in a picture of the “L ast Supper,” and was so surprised and pleased when later he saw it in our window. One never- to-be-forgotten afternoon he came clear through. We secured employment for him and tak e g reat joy in watching his sp iritual growth. “Singing when my way is clear, P raying when th e path is drear, John, we call him, came to us a few nights ago. “Are you the man who was talk ing out there last night? Well, I w ant to be saved.” In a few m inutes he received life everlasting through a look a t th e crucified Son of God. Henry was a Hebrew. We had a blessed tim e w ith him, the outcome of which was a desire to give his life to Christ for Christian service. A few days la ter ano ther Hebrew lad was defi nitely led to place his faith in Christ Jesus. We learned la ter th a t these two were brothers; both lead to Biola Hall w ithin a few days of each other. Surely, “ God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform .” Where do they all go to, these lads and men?

Some forget to retu rn and give th ank s; others have entered th e Evening School; some are day students and members of the Church of the Open Door. We gather others in th e converts’ class, and our h earts rejoice as our lads make good and re tu rn to tell what wondrous things God has done for them. “One ship drives east, and another drives west, While th e self-same breezes blow; I t’s th e set of th e sails and not the gales T h at bids thepi where to go.

BIOLA HALL David Cant, Supt.
OMEONE has surely been pray ing for Biola Hall, for showers of blessings have been pouring down upon us, richer and more abundan t th an ever be fore. As we look up and out from our desk, the jobless men are constantly coming and going. There they are, reading from the big open Bible and verses of Scripture, or closely examining the posters and pictures displayed in our window. They step up to th e illu strated ch arts; they listen to th e hymns from the Y ictrola; they drop in, pick up the books, magazines and hymn hooks.

We can see keen-looking business men step inside the door, examine our tracts, select something gripping, sHp it into th e vest pocket and quietly disappear. Yes! a prayer follows them and th e load, we know, becomes lighter. A fter many days, some retu rn and tell us all about, it.
