three Inquiry rooms are crowded, women and girls in one room, men in another, and boys in a third. On Wednesday night the balcony was set apart for men only and reserved until 7:30. At that hour every seat was occupied, and those who came later could only find standing room. There must have been l’.OOO men in the gallery alone, and a very consid erable number in the area, so that they represented 60 per cent of the congrega tion of nearly .3,000. This, on a week night, is very gratifying and proof that a deep interest has been awakened in regard to spiritual things amongst both men and women. “ Mr. Nicholson is a man of unique gifts and so far as the writer is con cerned, he has seen nothing like the widespread, interest in the section where the mission is being carried on, since the great days of D. L. Moody. ' The spirit of prayer which abounds has brought about a deeper conviction than could ever take place when times were normal. For this there is great reason for grati tude to God. “ There are many who can truly say, ‘The Lord is my strength and my song, and has become my salvation; the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly.’ And in the homes of hundreds of people the voice of rejoicing and salvation is heard, for ‘the stone which the builders refused has become the headstone of the corner.’ This is the Lord’s doing and it is mar vellous in our eyes.” Speaking of another revival which is in progress in another section of Ire land, the “ Life of Faith” says: “ This movement had it's outward be ginning in a mission conducted by Mr. Nicholson in Bangor. The wonderful re sults which followed that mission awak ened hope in the hearts of God’s people that a day of gracious rain was perhaps near at hand. . . . At Gray Abbey the converts meet nightly in the court house, which has been kindly granted to them by General Montgomery. They are visited regularly by some of the converts from Newtownwards and Ban gor. They have also made themselves responsible for meetings in the homes of farmers and others round about. Thus the revival fires are kept burning.” .

As long as you and The King’s Business are alive, there will be plenty who will want it. It is like a brisk wind from the wonderful Pacific Ocean reaching us here in Central China.” ; He Knows a Good Thing . A man to whom we recently sent a sample copy immediately wrote us as follows: “ Many thanks for the sample copy. To my notion this is an intensely' interesting and helpful magazine. I am enclosing a check for $20 and the names of 20 subscribers I have just secured. I have 15 more promised.” Make It Do Business A subscriber in England writes: “ I sent one K. B. to a friend. He is now subscribing, apologizing for keeping my copy so long. I told him I MUST have it back. He said it had to do business, first and had already been sent to three other friends in different parts of Eng land. I hope all your subscribers will make their copies do business.” It Turned Her Life Around A young lady in North Dakota says: “ Someone sent me a leaflet referring to your paper and I subscribed. I’m so glad I came across it. It gives me the light I needed, for I did not know which way to go. I have never heard the Gos pel preached at any time. It has made me want to turn my whole heart to righteousness. I’ve been all taken up with the pleasures of the world, attend ing movies, dances, card parties and other wrong things, but since reading The King’s Business I have no desire for these things.' I’m through with them. I want to be a Christian.”
