At first he could not think what to do. Then he remembered about the mission ary in the town from whom the little tract had come. “ She said good words,” he said, “ and her paper had good words written on it. If she believes the words she said, perhaps she can help my girls." And that is how Shanta and She- wanti came to the Ramabai Mukti Mis sion, for the missionary did know what to do, and did know where to take two little homeless girls. Dirty and ragged as they were when they came through the gates, they found a warm welcome and love. It was not easy for them to be good at first. But all this happened many months ago, and today if you should see Shanta and Shewanti, you would not guess that once they had been wild and used to doing as they pleased and roaming the streets. Best of all, they now belong to the Saviour and really know what the wonderful words mean: “ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” T H E K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S FOR GOD SO LOVED ( Continued from Page 17)
