T HE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S The “Boy’s.Po ck et Testam ent League Club” had adjourned bu t th e boys lin gered on the porch, evidently engaged in serious discussion. Again lifting my h e a rt to God in prayer for th e precious souls of these boys as I read ju sted the house, I waited to learn th e resu lt. Soon th e door opened, the boys stood in the hall, and I heard my name called. “We w ant you to answer a question.” So I invited them back and they told me th e ir difficulty. W hat was w rong in boys going to th e “show” ? One of th eir number had told them he could not go to th e show— , why not? “ Did you mean it boys when you signed th e back p a rt of your T estam en t?” “We surely did.” “Then did you know th a t when you received Jesus Christ as your Sav iour, God, th e Holy S pirit came to live in your h ea rt? T h at when you go to a “ show” He has to go w ith you? Do you th in k He likes to be tak en to the “ show” ? Would you like the Lord Jesus to find you in a “ show” when He comes?” “No.” And then telling them to make it a m a tte r of prayer and do w h at they felt God w anted them to do, they left the house. B u t as they went out I heard one of th e boys say, " I ’m not going to th e show any more,--—I ’m on my way to heaven.” Mrs. T. C. Horton, Supt. Testam ent League Day. The Secretary was recently invited to a local church where th e pasto r had planned a P. T. L. Day, advertising it extensively. The whole day was devoted to th e work of the TESTAMENT League. LEAGUE In th e Sunday- School, in b o t h ad u lt and prim ary departm ents, the work was presented, and many signed th e pledge cards when th e classes met. At th e morning service many stories were told, illu stratin g th e power of the Word of God, all of which were fresh in cidents gathered in th e work of the League in Los Angeles. Membership cards were passed and many new mem bers gained. A t th e Christian Endeavor service and in th e evening service the personal responsibility of every Chris tia n to do personal work, was pressed home, and the simplicity of doing effec tive personal evangelism illu strated from experiences of League members.
1112 One, the youngest of our Class, ju st graduated from th e State Normal School, has gone to teach in an E astern state. W ith her sweet, vivacious winsomeness all su rrendered to h er Lord, she is giv ing testim ony to and service for Him day by day. Another, capable and much sought afte r in her p articu lar line of H igh School work, devoted as she is to her Department, is equally devoted to Christ, and is seeking all possible means of influencing the lives under h er care for Him. One K indergarten teacher has become enthusiastically in terested in th e lives of young women in the In d u strial world and is finding ou tlet for h er activities in the Y. W.. C. A. And best of all two of the group have sailed for China, th ere to work out th e ir M aster’s will in m issionary service. Classes for the new year are opening up w ith g reat enthusiasm . Long before th e tim e for them to begin individuals were asking when they would start. While we recognize th e fact th a t our Class work will be successful only as th e Holy Spirit controls and directs, yet some tim es little devices help to in crease the attendance. F o r instance in one Class they voted to fine each mem ber ten cents who failed to bring a t least one new member a month. It was surprising th a t in two weeks th a t Class doubled in numbers and they are still going on w ith increasing interest. In ano th er Class th ere is a contest going on to see which side can secure th e most members, and so the work is going on and new Classes are being called for and new members are constantly being added. One woman who is a Roman Catho lic is diligently studying h er Bible and g radually she is dropping off her con fession to the p riest and is coming to see th a t Christ is the only Mediator be tween God and man. Before leaving for a vacation we felt compelled to call upon a man and his wife, neighbors, to ta lk w ith them about th e V ictorious life. The man is a P res byterian elder. When we called his wife was out bu t we w ent in and told him why we had called. He said it was an answer to prayer, as he h ad been praying th a t he m ight have such an op portunity. He was a Christian b u t had never known when he was converted and has no assurance. He took a definite step of faith and su rrendered to the Lord.
