There she is finding sweet Christian fel lowship and happy days of service and wit nessing for her Lord. Sometimes the Bible Woman returns from her labor clinging only to God’s assurance that “ in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Again, she may be privileged to see seed bring forth fruit, “ some a hun dredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.” But always there is the knowledge that though one may plant and another may water, it is God that gives the increase. “ So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” Youth for Christ Are young people interested in following the Lord Jesus Christ? Clifford Lewis has proved through his evangelistic work in Young People’s Fellowship Clubs and the Revival Prayer Band that young men and women respond eagerly to the appeal to live a victorious Christian life. With un bounded energy, consecrated to Christ, this talented young Christian is being used of the Lord in a gracious way. His book, Youth on the March, has stirred large numbers of students in schools and colleges to take their stand with those who are true to Christ. “ Songlets of Joy,” a collection of new, short “songs that mean more,” contains gospel truth in pleasing musical form. “ Good News Poems” and “Mother” are other books by this young people’s author which are of great benefit in spreading the tidings of salvation to old and young.

The Needed Revival In a brief and comprehensive leaflet en titled “The Revival We Need,” L. L.

STORIES OF INCREASING HARVEST [Continued, from page 215]
he needed a Saviour and said he would receive Him sometime before it was too late. All during his illness, prayer had been offered for him, and as the end drew near, additional earnest intercession was made for him. One evening, when all further effort seemed useless and the worker was about to leave, almost discouraged, the patient turned and said, “ I would like to make the decision you and M r .------ wish me to.” He accepted Christ as his personal Saviour and knew he was a child of God. In two days he was with the Lord. Shortly after this man died, the Bible Woman was passing through the ward where he had been ill. As she passed the bed where he had lain, the man who had been opposite him called her and said, “ I would like to make the same decision that your friend made,” and another soul was born into the kingdom of God. Even a long- delayed surrender to the Lord Jesus had issued in a measure of fruitfulness for Him. It is not easy in modern business and professional life for a young woman to live an out-and-out Christian life. In numerous Southern California communities, college girls, nurses, and young women in business look to the weekly supper meetings of Ly ceum or Eteri Clubs, taught by Biola Bible Women, as a time of finding strength from God’s Word for the struggle that the Christian young woman daily faces. Other girls find Christ for the first time in these evening gatherings. An Eteri girl made a full surrender of her life to the Lord at a summer Eteri con ference and started out to “wholly follow the Lord.” Following long-cherished plans, she enrolled for nurses’ training, but now she entered her course with a joyful de termination to make her life tell definitely for God during the days of preparation for service. She soon was surprised to learn that the individuals in charge in the hos pital expected and insisted on full coopera tion in worldly things in which she could not conscientiously take part. She went to those in authority, explaining her con victions and reasons sweetly but firmly, and asked to be excused. But soon it became clear that she had to make her choice between pleasing God or continuing her training. It was a hard battle. Her whole life plans and ambitions seemed tottering around her. A thousand excuses crowded in upon her mind to assure her she should lay aside her convictions. She went to her knees, and when she arose, her mind was made up. She would wholly follow the Lord at any price. She packed her belongings and left the hospital. With the closing of the door, it seemed as if every cherished plan had been left behind. She did not know that the Lord was allowing the door to be closed only that He might open a far better one to her. After she had been proved faithful, He led her to another hospital where there was even an Eteri Club among the nurses.
