regulate this danger' point to suit yourself —a bell rings a warning in your home or office. Many a crop o f winter fruit and flowers have been saved in the past year or two by the clever little frost bell.” If Christians could Only have a frost bell attached to them in some way, so that they might be plainly warned o f the fact that they are, getting cold, it might save many a Christian from being' spiritually frost­ bitten and also save the Churfch from great loss .—The Standard. --------- 0 ---- ---- Testixnonials G. O. Cocks, Hamilton, N„ S. W .: “Just a word o f testimony.” I" find T h e K in g ’ s B u s in e s s very helpful and inspiring. If I need a stimulus to service, I have but to open a copy o f your magazine and I find it. If I require an illustration for the work o f social reform, I can generally get it either in the editorial notes or the evangel­ istic department. I look forward to its appearance every month, which is not far advanced before it is in my hands.” Chas. W . Parker, Whitevale, Ont., Can­ ada: “ I hope my negligence in sending renewal will not interfere with the prompt arrival of the next issue, as I am always anxiously waiting for the next copy to arrive and I would not like to be without it on any account. It would be hard, for me to say which department o f your maga­ zine I prize most highly, but perhaps as a Sunday School teacher, I take most interest in your Sunday School department, which I think are the best helps o f any I se'e on the lessons.” Free Sunday School Helps Wm.

Pray that the Christians everywhere may feel their need and realize their responsibility for bringing this great land to Jesus. There •seems to be great demand for the Gospels and Bibles. At a fair one day, we thought we had taken a great many books with us, but we could have sold nearly twice the number if we had had them with us.” ---------- O---------- The Warning Bell An electric bell tinkled sharply beside the florist’s desk. “ Frost!” he said, and ran hatless to the greenhouse. “ The fires had sunk,” the florist explained on his return. “ The watchman had falleji asleep.
