-We have a worker a t one of th e tu bercular sanitarium s near Pasadena who has been privileged during th e last month to lead a number of th e patients to accept Jesus Christ, and tells of th e g reat blessing which came from th e dis tribu tion of th e ' Gospels of John which were given him about a month ago. The people are from all th e “ isms” and denom inations, and some who never knew th e Lord have been brought to Him th rough th is Gospel of John. W hat an opportunity th is is for te sti mony! New Classes The work has grown so tha,t we have pu t in two new classes which are be ing received very enthusiastically. The attendance a t the classes had drop ped down somewhat because of th e five weeks of special metings which were held which n atu rally in terferred w ith th e regu lar classes, bu t now they are coming back to normal. The Thursday afternoon class tau g h t by Mrs. P erkins, and the Thursday evening class in charge of Miss Lee, are tak ing on new life, and we are ex pecting g reat things from them in th e future. Two m inisters who were in g reat trouble have been given advice and help a t Biola Club and say th a t here afte r they will be “ boosters” for the Bible In stitu te of Los Angeles which has made th is work possible.
HE work a t Biola Club is “ looking up” because God’s blessing is coming down. Souls are being saved, and wanderers are being reclaimed. One woman sixty five years of age who had drifted away from th e Lord to a place where she said she “ didn’t believe anything” came in contact w ith one of our workers and expressed in no uncertain term s h er opposition to the Word of God, th e church and even God Himself. Before th e conversa tion was finished, however, she broke down and confessed th a t she was en tirely wrong and th a t, like many others, she had been finding fau lt w ith the Bible and th e Church because she had been in league w ith Satan. The worker had th e joy of leading h er back to Him who said, “ Come unto me, all ye th a t labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest,” and she is now rejoicing in th e Lord. A Robber and Didn’t Know I t A man sixty years of age was very b itter because he had been cheated out of $300.00 and said he had no use for a God who would allow him to be cheated. We asked him w hat h e had been doing all these years. Said we, “You have been robbing God all these years. You owe everything to him—- food, clothing, shelter, and yet you have never acknowledged your debt to Him, bu t have w ithheld from Him th e worship which is His due.” He said he had never thought of the m a tte r in th a t ligh t before. The re su lt is th a t he has been saved and says th a t th e man who robbed him is welcome to th e $300.00 now th a t God has forgiven his sins.
Good as th e work is which is done in the classes, we believe th e most ef fective work is th a t done w ith indi viduals as we ta lk w ith them , point them to th e Lord, and lead them to see what joy th e re is in a life fully su r rendered to Him for service. INSURE YOUR INVESTMENT FOR
