Scores of telegram s and letters expressing a unanimous sentim ent of brotherly attachm ent, were, received from widely scattered points, indicating th e extensive and useful m inistry of th is honored servant of th e Lord.

He responded to this testimony of esteem in his usual modest way, but w ith evident emotion, ascribing to his Lord all glory and praise for whatever had been accomplished by his means. In the picture above, it will be observed th a t Mr. H orton is contemplating, w ith evident pleasure, a copy of The K ing’s Business, upon which he is now concentrating his energy and prayers, th a t this outstanding F undam entalist periodical may attain an even Wider distribu tion th an it has already secured, and carry its message of vital faith in th e infallible Word of God th roughou t the world. —W.
