THE KING’S BUSINESS
and an unsatisfied longing. Men with eyes fixed on the speaker, their eyes filled with tears. May God help them to take Jesus now! The stores of the city, or I should say many of them, have closed their doors during the morning service. ' Two Jewish stores are among the number, and I under stand that one who was never known to attend a Christian service is attending these.
