Present with the Lord Mrs. Sophie Meader, for many years editor o f the J unior K ing ' s B u siness , de parted to be “with the Lord” from her home at Long Beach, Calif., May 18. Many readers of the K ing ' s B u siness will remember Mrs. Meader’s loving and helpful ministry in the “ King’s Garden” for the boys and girls, whom she loved. She was- the founder o f the Red Book Club (the “ Red Book” being the Gospel o f John) which has since become known as the Know Your Bible Club.

heart bade him run, but to do that would cause suspicion; he followed his better judgment and walked, although the road seemed very slow and tedious. When Hsiu Shan’s grandmother, nearly eighty years old, had heard the news of the boy’s capture, she had hobbled with her cane to her daughter’s home to help if sbe could. And now, on Saturday night, the time for the dreaded trip had come. Mrs. Wang put in a basket her presents— four dollars and two pounds of rock candy. “ God have mercy on me when they see this pitiful little,.present. Five hundred dollars would not have been enough to meet their demands,” she said, trembling. Neither dared put into words the dread in both hearts—the thought o f what would happen when the bandits looked into the basket. .; The old grandmother would go with Mrs.' Wang—she could not bear to have her daughter go alone. With lantern and basket in hand, the two started oif. The tap-tap o f the grandmother’s cane on the path relieved the loneliness somewhat, and through it all, there was the conscious ness of the unseen Friend close by their side. Hsiu Shan was nearer home by this time. He could run now, and he did. “Has my mother gone?” was his only conscious thought. “Ah, who is that com ing down the road?” “Mother 1 Mother 1” “ My son! You have escaped! Thank G od !” Both knelt right there in the dusty path' to praise God for answered prayers. If Hsiu Shan had been five minutes later, he would have missed his mother. Back home they went. Soon the whole village crowded into the courtyard to wel come Hsiu Shan. The Christian group had no news about him until Sunday afternoon, for the church was quite far from Hsiu Shan’s village. Just when all were fearing the worst, Mrs. Wang herself came to tell the happy end ing of their trouble. The Christians helped eat the rock candy that was to have gone to the bandits. What a time o f rejoicing there was! On Monday, Hsiu Shan himself came to tell his own story o f how God heard and answered prayer, and to declare his lifelong allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. And God, who answered prayer for Hsiu Shan and his mother, still hears and answers prayer.
Sunrise and Sunset Prayer (Tune: Jesus Loves Me) As the dewdrops catch the gleams, O f the golden sun’s first beams; Let my life forever shine, Subject to Thy will divine. Chorus: Yes, He is coming, If between the dark and dawn, Ere the twinkling stars are gone, Christ descends from mansions blest, Watching, let me rise and rest. — S ophie S h a w M eader . Scripture Alphabet (Continued) K. Y. B. C. members can add to their Bible alphabet by memorizing a verse for each week in the month of July. “ Trust in the Lord, and do good; so ¿halt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed” (Psa. 37:3). “ Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed o f my hope” (Psa. 119:116). “ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). “ Wash me thoroughly from mine in iquity, and cleanse me from my sin” (Psa. 51:2). Bible Arithmetic Add to the number o f books in the Bible, the number of books known as the Gospels. Divide the answer by the number o f the chapter in John’s Gospel known as “the Good Shepherd chapter.” Add the number of men the Lord Jesus chose to be His disciples. Multiply by the number o f the chapter in John in which the first miracle Jesus performed is recorded. Add the number of books in the New Testament. Subtract the number o f chapters in the Gospel o f Matthew. Subtract the number of chapters in the Gospel of John, and the result will be the number o f chapters in one o f the Gospels. Which book is it? Yes, He is coming, Yes, He is coming, Thessalonians, four, sixteen.
His Call Jesus calls the children, Bids them come and stand In His pleasant garden Watered by His hand. Lord, Thy call we answer, Take us in Thy care; Train us in Thy garden, In Thy work to share.
