We rapped at the door of a room, and, receiving no response, selected some books to leave inside.

How we rejoiced when he said, “ I will.” His friend listened very atten­ tively, but said, “ I don’t want to decide just now; it would mean so much to my father and mother.” So we left him with the Gospel and an earnest appeal to settle the matter, before it should be too late. Will you not pray for this young man? and Personal On arriving home, her husband gave her a teaspoonful of the straight undi­ luted medicine. The effect was such that they hurried her to the Emergency Hospital, thinking she was about to die. As a matter of fact, the strong medicine cured her neuritis, and the fall down stairs cured her lame back, so now she is coming to the Club and telling every one of her wonderful experience,,.Truly, God has many different ways of .bring­ ing blessings into the lives of believ.ers.Jt .
