BIOLA CLUB OF PASADENA Elw ood P . Lyon, Supt.—O u r cen ter for Bible C lasses, E vangelistic Services an d Personal W ork, in th e h e a rt of th e C ity of P asadena.
so rt of a place Biola Club m ight be, be came enthusiastic and said, “ I want to help,” and brought us several thou sand trac ts for free distribution. An o th er young woman, belonging to a fam ily of some social prominence,- has volunteered her services fo r personal work, and is one of th e most enthusias tic of Christian workers. We are now praying and working for the salvation of a young soldier who was badly gassed in th e war, and because of his discouraged and depressed state of m ind has contemplated suicide, and, by th e grace of God, expect to see him saved. Some tim e ago we told the readers of The K ing’s Business of a “near tragedy” in the home of a young soldier which resulted so happily in the conversion of both husband and wife. The sequel is th a t th e young wife has come out so wonderfully for the Lord th a t she wants Mrs. Lyon to give h er special Bible teaching and says she is going to dedi cate her baby boy to the Lord and train him for a missionary, and she herself intends to be w hat a tru e Christian woman ■should be in the home and in the community.
ANY people were attracted to Biola Club during th e month of Janu ary to h ear Mr. J. .J. Sims— a well known Bible
teacher, both in this country, Great B rit ain and Canada— in a series of Bible addresses afternoons and evenings, as a resu lt of which some new friends were made for the work, and— best of all— a number of definite conversions. During the month^ a whole Jewish fam ily has accepted' Jesus Christ as th e ir Messiah-Ss-first the husband and fath er, then the wife, and la st of all th e daughter (a stud en t in the Pasadena High School), and they are now one of the happiest ..families possible to imag ine. Another Jewish man, living w ithin a block of Biola Club, has become in te r ested and th e way of salvation has been explained to him. A relative of his has also become intensely interested and has asked for Gospel literatu re. We are confidently believing th a t th e Lord will soon bring both these precious souls to see the light. P ray for them. One friend who came in to see what H HE good news comes to us from Ireland th a t our own Mr. Nich olson (who has been so won- drously and m ightily used of been stirred since the G reat Revival of over fifty years ago ), will re tu rn to us next summer, although the committee who have made arrangem ents fo r his meetings during th e th ree years he has been there, are considering ways and means of inducing him to rem ain for ano ther year. Mr. Nicholson says in a recent letter to the editor: “ W e a r e ju s t closing one of th e b ig g est m issions w e have held here, in w hich tw e n ty churches united.
