THE KING’S BUSINESS

After special prayer that someone in particular would stand out among his as sociates and witness for Jesus Christ, and that a break might speedily come among the crowd of indifferent men—we had no sooner entered the barn than one of the boys came up to us. Such a hungry, thirsty soul! My, how he did drink in the tru th ! He was so willing and ready to put the light upon the lampstand that all might see. How we praised God for the an swered prayer.
