whom have found the Lord at the Mission. Gospel meetings aré held here each week, the men o f the community defraying the expenses o f the trip. About fifty boys, narly all o f whom prac­ tically live on the street, are gathered Into a Bible School in the Mission Hall each Lord’s Day, from 12:30 to 1:30 P. M. The order and attention have been splendid. Most o f these boys are thoughtful and responsive to the Gospel message. A visit The Steady Subscriber T T OW dear to bur hearts is the steady ■*- subscriber, Who pays in advance at the birth o f each year; Who lays down the money and does it quite gladly, . And casts ’round the office a halo s f cheer. He never says: “ Stop it; I can not afford it; I’m getting more journals now than I can read.” - But always says: “ Send it; all readers like How welcome his check when it reaches our sanctum; Plow it makes our pulse throb; how' it makes our hearts' dance. W e outwardly thank him; we inwardly bless him— The steady subscriber who pays in advance.—E xchange . — ----0— ------ A Great Printery The Biola Press, the printery o f the Bible Institute under the direction o f Albert Havermale, turned out during the past year 3,330,441 pieces o f religious liter­ ature, being about 70 per cent, o f the entire output. The quality o f work and facilities o f this establishment are unsurpassed, and large orders o f all kind are solicited. Small jobs are given equal care. In fact, we all think it a help and a need.”

any Lord’s Day will impress any one with the great possibilities among the boys. Their ages range from 8 to 16 years. Arrangements have been made for the removal o f the Mission from No. 639 San Fernando street, where it has been for about two years, to No. SOI New High street. This is seemingly the best loca­ tion we have yet had for the Mission, and wé hope that an even greater work may be done there. W e need your prayers.

Kindly notify the office by letter. | Rev. T. J. Preston of the Siangtan sta­ tion, China, sends a vivid account of the great meetings there. It will be noted that he spells the evangelist’s surname “ Ting” instead o f “ Ding,” in accordance with the dialect of that part of the country. Mr. Preston writes : “ That a Chinese evangelist, himself a northerner, could in this-southern province hold an audience of 2000 spell­ bound for an hour twice daily is indicative of the general feeling Toward Christianity. „Ting Li Mei is the "greatest evangelistic force that missions in China have yet pro­ duced. He i§ no.w 43 years of age; is an ordained minister of the American Presby­ terian mission and is at present student sec-, retary for the Y. M. C. A., in China- His influence over the student class is marvelous. He is more like Moody than many modern evangelists.” -------------O --------------
