Drawz closed a fruitful two-weeks’ meeting with Bethel Baptist Church, Salt Lake City, Utah, on Easter Sunday, with twenty-five decisions to accept Christ as Saviour. While in this locality, the evangelists preached at the state penitentiary where thirty men pro fessed conversion.

Ave. 60, Los Angeles, Calif., well-known as a children’s evangelist, is over eighty years of age, but there has been no “ retirement” for him, as far as enthusiasm and activity are con cerned.

The closing evening meeting saw in the inquiry room over sixty young people who had accepted Christ or had con secrated their lives to Him during the meet ing. The following letter, received recently from a high-school girl who had attended the services, brought great joy to the workers: “Dear Mr. and Mrs. Whitwell: “ I really have learned to know the Lord better since you folks have been in Escondido. I had an experience the other day that I shall never forget. “ One of my high-school teachers caught me reading a little Gospel of

I went up and he asked me whether I could come up after school and explain John 1:12 and John 3:16 to him. I did and he asked me how I knew so much about the Lord. “ I gave him my testimony and then gave him a Gospel of John and told him to read and study one chapter a day.
