o f the legal requirements, but he had broken the law and sixty days was the sentence. It was in the jail that they both heard the Gospel. Are they now really free? Only to'th e extent that the Son makes them free, for “whom the Son makes free is free indeed.” T o the man who accepts the Lord Jesus as his Saviour and Lord, the saloon and other places of vice are closed. The smelter at Harvard City has pro vided work for about eighty Mexicans. There are several believers there, most of
