and are now claiming by faith the father's conversion. A mother had just accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour, when her son, thirteen years old, came into the room. The Bible woman told the boy what his mother had done and asked him what he intended to do about Jesus. The quick reply was, "Why, I've read my testament every day and have loved Jesus a long time, but nobody told me what to do about it." A woman came into the Institute re- cently and begged for a Bible Woman to be sent to the suburban town where she lived, saying, "We will gather the class together and give you no extra trouble, for we are just starving for the Word of God." A large class was begun there the following week. Such hunger is blessed and fruitful. There is nothing in the work which gives us more joy than the large de- mand among the girls of High School age, for Bible classes after school hours. The teaching of these classes, both in Pasadena and Los Angeles was greatly blessed of God last year and this year the calls are so increased as to be quite a problem. There is no greater need than right among these students in our schools. If we win the girls we have the future mothers. "BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY. AMEN, EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS" Prom "The Morning Star," Aug. 1, 1912 J T has been laid upon the hearts of several of the Lord's people in different lands, that, in view of the long absence of the Lord whom we love, and of the many tokens, of which He forewarned us, that His coming is now drawing nigh—the universal unrest and apprehension, the convulsions in the social, political and spiritual worlds, the slackness of faith in the Word of God and in God Himself, the multiplying heresies', the abounding iniquity, side by side with the world-wide witness of the Gospel—it is time that thofce of us who are praying and looking for, and earnestly desiring, the coming of our King, the Prince of Peace, should with one heart and voice send up to Him a united cry that He will come; a great heart-cry of love from His whole true waiting Church in all the earth; a cry of welcome to the Coming One. After much thought and prayer, we believe that it is by the leading of the Spirit of God that we now send forth the call to all those who love His ap- pearing, to join in this special world-

The Spirit and the Bride say Come! and let him that heareth say, Comer Readers of The King's Business will not. forget to join this cry of Even so, come, Lord Jesus. GEORGE W. HUNTER'S WORK Huihboldt County is considered one of the most difficult in the State for Evan- gelistic work. The towns are not large and are composed largely of mining and lumber men. Mr. Hunter's reports however indicate that there are some splendid pastors and many good people in the Churches. . He spent nineteen weeks in the' County, visiting Eureka, Blue Lake, Bay- Side, Areata,.Hydesville and Scotia. His work was in connection with the Young Peoples' Societies and was brought about through the influence of Rev. W. Berin Evans of Scotia, formerly a student of the Intitute. Mr. Hunter's work was. largely along the line of teaching and proved very helpful to both pastors and people. As a result of the work Bible classes were formed in .all of the town» and will be continued by the Pastors. Most of them are taking up the Scofield Course. One pastor is organizing classes in the outlying districts. There were 147 meetings held in t he county and about 10,000 different peo- ple brought in touch with the Word. About 40 Correspondence Courses were sold and many more will follow. The Pastors and Christian Workers have given Mr. Hunter strong endorsements, which give evidence of satisfactory work accomplished. Mr. Hunter is available for work throughout the State and can be addressed at the Institute. THE FISHERMEN CLUB'S EVAN- GELISTS ~ J Messrs. Barrett and Whitcomb con- ducted successful tent meetings on Moneta Avenue during July. The ser- vices were held in a new district with Rev. Mr. Billings of the Congregational body. The results of. the meetings were good, a permanent church has been es- tablished, and Brother Billings is look- ing forward to a large work. One of the Bible women has a Bible class among the women and a number of t h e young women have joined the Lyceum Club. The converts will be followed and taught. During August, the evangelists held
