the men were so quiet and attentive. God is constraining men to think, for the time is short. On our way to a certain shop meeting, we were on several occasions accosted by a group of women eating their lunch out­ side a large factory, and asked to sing to them. This we did a few weeks ago, and just as soon as the music started up they came swarming around from all quarters and we had a blessed time. Many were foreigners, but they understood enough to join us in singing, “Just the Love of Jesus, O, How Sweet,” and the way those poor, tired, hungry faces lighted up! We have now arranged a regular meeting, conducted by some of the women students of the Institute, and are praying and expecting a harvest of souls from this most needy field. In another place which we have regularly visited for over a year, we have just reaped a good return. The head man was laid on T T OW wonderful it is to rely upon God 4 for the harvest after we have faith­ fully sown the seed! In some recent let­ ters we have these testimonies: “I am surely enjoying the little Bible that you handed to me that night that I visited your meeting and there found Christ.
