Here's a good suggestion: Why not give a friend a subscription to the King's Business for his birthday?
While we enjoy the Lord’s good ness to us in our homes and at our table, somewhere in ruined Europe, a Hebrew Christian broth er, a little Jewish child, are hungry and homeless. Wouldn’t you he glad to have one of these little ones at your table to share the Lord’s goodness to you with them? To show them His love? You can do so by send ing a contribution to us which will be used for supplying the material, physical, and spiritual needs of distressed Israel. This is a fine Christian direct channel of aiding the afflicted. “ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me.” Your gifts, small or large, ur gently needed.

Digging again The Old Wells Gen. 26:18. M ORE than ten thousand abandoned
churches today dot the countrysides of rural America — a grim challenge to Christian people of all the evangelical denominations. Some of these represent the shift of country populations to the cities. By far the larger number, how ever, are due to the present wide-spread spiritual declension. In a fine old brick church o f a prosperous Illinois farming section, an A.S.S.U. Missionary recently organized a Union Sunday School. Thirty- six were present at the first meeting. Three weeks later the attendance had climbed to sixty. Now the building has been repaired, the people have purchased an electric lighting plant; and evening services are being conducted by a regular minister. Another Missionary writes: "The Lord evidently had preceded me, for I found hungry hearts anxious to see the little church reopened. So a date for a Sunday service was set. A fine group representing several denominations responded. Two weeks later another service was held with even better attendance.” Later, at the close of a week of special meetings, many sought the Lord at the altar of repentance; and. with a Union Sunday School organized, the little church, so long forsaken, stands a needed lighthouse to the entire Keya Paya Valley. “ Gather the'people together, men , and tooment and children , and thy stranger that is within thy gates , that they may heary and that they may learn , and fear the Lord God , and observe to do all the words o f this law** (Deut. 31 :12.)

A survey of our records re cently disclosed that during a period of twenty-five years, over# 1,000 churches having official relationships with their denominational bodies grew out of Sunday Schools organized by A.S.S.U . Mis sionaries. During the past year alone, thirty churches of various denominations re sulted from Union Sunday Schools. Four of our Sun day Schools have erected new houses of worship. There were established 101 Young People’s Societies, 235 Prayer M eetings, 132 new preaching stations, and, as a crowning glory to God, 7,340 decisions for Christ have been reported.
