Third, —Keep the plan definitely before the people,— especially the young people and the Sunday School. Let pastors and leaders emphasize the importance of the service to the individual, the church and the world. Let there be created a hunger for the souls of millions o f unsaved in our own land and in the regions beyond. . Why not commenee| NOW, and let: the showers pre cede the rain? We all need it.

Outline Lessons on
The Life of Christ
For the BOYS and GIRLS by T. C.' Horton
These lessons have been tried and found to be exceedingly interesting and helpful in instructing boys and girls of Primary and Junior ages, in the sim ple, practical Christian truths. Is it possible to reach young children and bring them to’ Christ by means of Week,Pay Home Classes? Yes, and here is the proof. These lessons have been used for over two years by the Superintendent of the Department of Home Classes under the auspices of the Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles, California. These classes, ranging in attendance from twelve to sixty each, have been organized to the number of 258, a total of over 2000 scholars being enrolled at the present time. The following figures taken from report of results for one month will give an idea of what is being accomplished. Gospels distributed ......................—. 610 Tracts distributed ............. 2,872 Calls in homes................388 Volunteer workers ............................. 132 Bible verses learned........................... 4,041 Bible chapters read.................... 17,064 Souls won to Christ........................... 29 Parents and, indeed, whole families have been in terested, some have been won to Christ, and others won back to a church life. None of the children were sought as members of the Main Sunday School of the Church of the Open Door, this matter being left to the discretion of the parents. Some were already mem bers of and attending other Sunday Schools on Sun day, but enjoyed these week day classes as well. Many of the children would run from the Day School in order to reach the Bible Class in time. We offer these simple, practical outlines so that the plan may be tested anywhere, and we are sure that the “ Life of Christ” will become more real, and love for Him will be developed, by their use. It is worth trying. Watch the January King’s Business for fur ther announcement.
