THE KING ' S BUSINESS came from Alaska to Los Angeles. Prior to her coming to this city, prayer was o!Tered by a Neighborhood Bible Class tor her conversion. She attended the class for several weeks. One af– ternoon at the close of the lesson, the teacher asked her if she bad ever ac– cepted Christ as her Saviour. She re– plied, "Yes, I have." The teacher asked her "When?" She said, "Since coming to this class." She was then shown that the next step was to confess Him before others, which she did. Signs of the new life were soon manifested, for the following week she made a call and brought a new member to the class. Another Inte1•csting Case We had an interesting case of con– version at the Fishermen's Wives meet– ing just before Christmas. Proceeding with the lesson of the evening, the Bible– woman referred to the necessity of reading the Bible. A stranger present spoke up and said that she bad been reading the 14th Chapter of St. John's Gospel every Sunday morning to her children. (Someone had given her boys a Gospel of John.) In conversation with the lady after the meeting, the Bible-woman asked her If she bad ever accepted Christ as her Saviour. She said no, she hadn't! She was then asked if she would accept Him, and she said she would. Just at this point, the door leading into the room where the meeting was held was opened and a Fisherman Club member entered with two boys, to whom he said: "Tell your mother what you have done." The boys told their mother that they had ac– cepted Christ as their Saviour, and the mother exclaimed, "So have I!" The boys had made their decision in the Fishermen's meeting while the mother was being Jed to make hers in the Fish– ermen's Wives meeting. j} 4\ WIN THE ONE NEXT TO YOU Drummond reminds us ot a tact we have sometimes forgotten.

said: "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" Saul then wanted to know who It was speaking to him. Now listen children, and hear the wonderful words that Saul heard that day, as he lay In the road. "I am Jesus ot Nazareth, whom thou persecutest." Now Saul knows that he has been taught wrongly, and that Jesus Is in heaven, and Is the Lord Jesus, the Saviour. Then Saul asks what he shall do, and the Lord tells him to arise and go Into the city ot Damascus. How dl!Terently he goes In from the way he had planned. Now he Is being Jed In for he can not see, and placed In a home, where he remains tor three days, not being able to see. God was giving him time to think and pray. After the three days God sent a Christian man to Paul, and his eye– sight came back. This man told Saul of the great work he was to do for Jesus. After Saul knew Jesus as his Saviour, his life was very di!Terent, and bis name was called Paul. As long as be lived he always remembered Jesus as he saw him in the vision that day on the road to Damascus, as the King or heaven and all the world. The ques– tion Paul asked the Lord Is our mem– ory verse. Let us learn It now. "What shall I do, Lord?" We not only want to remember It, but we too want to ask Jesus what we shall do. We too should do as Paul did, tell others the story of Jesus and his Jove. Oloslng Prayer. ~ ~ TOLD BY OUR BIBLE WOMEN His Wonderful Works How wonderfully God works! An earthquake to arouse the Ph!lippian Jailer, a vision of the glorified Christ, for the man who was to be the Apos– tle to the Gentiles; but ot Lydia, the first Gentile convert In Europe, a woman who attended prayer meeting, the Scripture says, that " the Lord opened her heart so that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul." Nothing spectacular about that, yet equally miraculous! A girl of high school age recently
