THE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S up in the back of the Testament too.” Her mother said that her child walks three miles home from school, and was so late getting home that afternoon that she was uneasy and sent the father to see what the trouble was, and found that the daughter had lost track of time entirely in her eagerness to win her friend. She succeeded in getting an other little girl the next week to accept the Lord. In telling her mother of these two beautiful experiences the child said, “ I did not know how much Scripture I knew until I was talking to my friend.” It pays in more ways than one to have a working knowledge of the Scripture. Two sisters, one ten and the other, seven years old, joined the Pocket Tes tament League. The ten-year-old girl came home late from school the next day and told her mother that she had signed up a friend as a member of the League and had also persuaded her to sign the decision blank in the back of the Testament. Her little friend said that her father and mother were not Christians and that she was going home to tell them about Jesus. The mother of the girls saw the smaller one show ing her Testament to a playmate and overheard her telling the little girl how she could become a Christian. The two sisters have obtained so many of their playmates as members of the League that their mother is going to start a Bible class in the neighborhood for children. The Pocket Testament League fur nishes such a tactful way of approach ing strangers about the things of God, that the most inexperienced and un trained person can do definite personal work, if he has a loving heart for the other person.

So sure as the Lord works, the devil is sure to follow, but we praise God, we have been able to instruct the converts and not very easily can they be persuaded to return to the darkness and superstition from which they have been rescued. Please hold these people up in your prayers, that the seed sown among them may spring up and bear fruit in due time.— Robert H. Bender, Supt. Simplest Personal Work Method Such a simple way of doing definite Christian work is set forth by the means of the Pocket Testament League that little children can do effective soul saving work. Dur- TESTAMENT ing a praise and tes- LEAGTJE timony service one Wednesday evening at a certain church a twelve-year-old girl gave this testimony: “ I want to thank the Lord for giving me the priv ilege of winning one of my little school mates for the Lord, and getting her to sign up in the Pocket Testament League. I walked home from school with her, and asked her if she would like to join the League. She said that she would sign up in the front of the Testament but would not decide the decision in the back. I quoted her some Scripture. Then I quoted her some more Scrip ture. Then she said to me, ‘I do things that are wrong, and do them because I want to do them.
