THE KING’S BUSINESS

We believe the unconverted Jews there received a message that will result in the conversion of some of them. At the close of the meeting one of the workers spoke to a Jewess present and asked her what she now thought about Jesus Christ. She replied to the effect that her last doubt was swept away, and that during the meeting she had opened her heart to the Messiah- Jesus and received Him as her Saviour. The next Tuesday, full of the joy of the Lord, she was present at the Mothers’ Class and gave her testimony. In addition to the conversion of this Jewess, three others, two Jewish women and one Jewish man, have received Jesus as Lord and Saviour, and have already made public con fession of their faith in Him.

There had been no urging or undue pressing, but it seemed as though God just 7 swept the speaker aside while the presence and power of the Holy Spirit was manifested. Many were in tears, mothers and their boys clung to ■ each other, and cried for very joy. The girls were broken down, and the prayers and confessions were from the very heart.

Unique testimonies by a number of Hebrew Christians present, and a heart- to-heart talk by Rev. T. C.

Our hearts are full, :our cup running over. Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and His wonderful works to the children of men !
