L. H. Jamison, M any souls in the hospitals, especially the County, have been comforted and helped by our visits there. It is indeed a field where there is much need, and we find receptive hearts. We have made three or four visits there each week. M eetings were begun recently at Whit tier, after a canvass had been made of that field. Each Lord’s day a visit is made there, during which house-to-house visits are made and a Gospel service is conducted. Our open air services, at the Plaza, have been especially good during the month, with an average attendance of forty and fifty each night. Nine persons professed the Lord Jesus as their Saviour during the past month. A brother , who had turned aside from following the Lord, was thrown into prison, through false accusation, and was in danger of being unjustly sentenced to the peniten tiary. He was visited in the city jail, and his cause was ferreted out and he was fin ally liberated. He has learned his lesson, and he is now one of the nightly attendants at the mission. M. C. had risen to the place of Lieuten- William Mullen. B rother W ilson was very arrogant when he came in, but hunger had compelled him to receive some soup at our hands. “I could buy and sell you,” was his remark, but finally the Word of God had course and he “tamed down.” Well, to make a long story short, he received Christ and took a start heavenward. Here was another surprise, for the man was able to buy us out. He is now operating three thousand acres of his own land and the Lord is greatly blessing him. The Work of
ant-colonel in the revolution of Francisco Madero in Mexico, and was well known in political circles in Mexico. After Madero was killed, he came to the United States, and one night about a year ago into our mission. He accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour that night. Shortly after that he went to Pomona, where he has lived ever since. During the last six months he has received five letters from Sr. Caranza, the revolutionary head at Chihuahua, Mex ico, asking him to return and take an official place in the present revolution, and as soon as the war was over promising to give him a high place in the government. His last reply to these entreaties is as follows: “I have more love today than I ever have had before for my people. However, upon no consideration whatever, and for no promise, will I ever lift my hand to slay anyone. However, when peace comes, which I so much long for, if my general and my people recognize me then, I will know how to ex press the great love which my Saviour, Jesus Christ, has put in this, His servant, and your brother, in the beloved country.” This beloved brother has manifested a spirit similar to that of Paul, before Agrippa, in renouncing a high place in the world, that he might confess his Saviour A great deal of interest has been mani fested in the series of studies followed in the “Mars Hill” Bible Class held Sunday afternoons at one-forty-five. The Ten Ten Commandments have been the subject for eleven Sunday afternoons, one each day and concluding with a general view of all. We cannot promise you a reserved seat at the boys’ Sunday School, but for a while yet you may be sure of a place and a royal welcome at this Bible Class. One man, not long ago, was called on without pre- the Yokefellows Superintendent.
