THE KING’S BUSINESS

and talk to the individuals, and then have a service with twenty men at the Pacific Electric camp, and at 3 p. m. we have our Mission Sunday School at West Alhambra where there is a group of believers. On Monday we hold a noon meeting for Mexicans at the Salt Lake shops, and after lunch either visit the Crocker Street Hos pital, or make some calls. Then after our Workers’ Meeting we go to Pasadena and have a Bible class with a family of believers in the section house. On Tuesday we board the Pacific Elec tric car and go to Artesia, meeting with a group of Mexican infidels who ridicule the idea of believing in God and His Word. Sitting down on the grass and with the open Bible before us, we are enabled to confound them so that they have nothing more to say. Then we visited six homes, giving out tracts and talking with the peo ple; on our way back stopping off at Kelle- flower for a Bible class with six men at the'Pacific Electric section house. After the lesson we asked if any desired to accept Christ, and four of the young men expressed a desire, and all knelt down and called upon the Lord. Since then, we have met one of the young men, and with face all aglow, he testified to the saving grace of our Lord. Late at night, we return réjoicing that some more have found the Saviour. On Wednesday we board the Gospel Auto-truck with a load of students visiting the soldier boys at Arcadia, and having a talk with several of them. Returning we are dropped off on the out-skirts of El Mbnte, and meet with four different groups of Mexicans that are scattered for a dis tance of a mile or two, which brings us to the section house of the Pacific Electric camp. 'A fter a service -with a group there, we catch our car home, rejoicing for the privilege’ of sowing the precious seed.
On Thursday we take the car for Redondo, making four calls and having a little service with eight persons, after which we walk about a mile to the Pacific Electric section houses at Juanito, making five calls and holding a service with a group of men. Then returning to Los Angeles, we stop off at Hermosillo, another Pacific Electric section house, making several calls and interviewing eight persons, after which we take a late car for home. On Friday noon, we visit the cannery where we distribute tracts to Mexicans, Americans and Italians, and after lunch and prayer hour go on to Dominguez Junction, where we find a Mexican family of fivp and we give them the message. Walking a short distance we find four young men on a ranch; we plead with them to accept the Saviour, and one young man promised he would do so. Another mile or so down the Long Beach Boulevard, we have a congregation of twenty-five men, women and children, who gather as soon as we arrive; we have a song, and then give the message. We are expecting many to accept the Lord out of this group; they are open to conviction, and when we leave they thank us and tell us to be sure and return. We bid them “Adios” and tramp through the beet fields for a mile to get our car, and are happy on our way home. Thus we travel from week to week, not always visiting the same places; some we reach but twice_a month, and some only once a month, as we do not confine our selves to the section houses only, but go out into the highways and byways seeking the lost. Will those who read this follow us in their prayers from day to day as we go about scattering the precious seed by the wayside, and to Him, whose we are and whom we serve, be all the glory.
