The Boys who love you. We are also enclosing an order for your able assistant.” “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosoms. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured unto you again.”
“Dear Brother: In sending you this little token, we are expressing in a very small way our appreciation of the pleasant hours we have spent in hearing you tell ‘The story that never grows old.’ Hoping that it will be accepted in the same spirit in which it is offered, and wishing you many happy returns of the day, we remain,
WORK OF THE BIBLE WOMEN Mrs. T. C. Horton, Supt.
O H, I am so glad to see you,” exclaimed a lady as she opened the door to the Bible woman. And then she told an experience so tangled that it seemed only God could smooth it out. The Bible woman prayed for guidance and then asked the lady, who was a Christian, if she had prayed about it. She said, “yes.” “Then,” said the Bible woman, “when you meet to discuss the matter have a prayer meeting first. Get them in a place where they will meet God, before you have any discussion about it.” The dear woman promised she would, saying: "**1 believe this is the solu tion of the matter, although I should not have thought of doing that. God must have sent you.” Truly, many and varied are the incidents in a Bible woman’s life. A worker’s heart was rejoiced one day at being invited to “come in” in the follow ing way: “I have been looking into Chris tian Science of late, but so much of it I cannot understand; maybe you can help me out.” We found a really hungry-hearted woman. She admitted the things in Chris tian Science did not satisfy her, and she could not understand it; still she did not understand the Bible. We showed her very simply God’s plan and His way, and when the direct question was put to her, “Can you, and will you, receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour?” she said with a true ring in her voice, “I can and I will,” with such a light in her eye that it sent us to Him in a prayer of real praise. Another woman came to the door with such a look of real suffering. We made
our introduction very brief, and said: “You are in trouble. Let me help you.” She burst into tears and replied: “No one can; I am living in a perfect hell.” Any one would agree with her were her story known, but we were able to quiet her by telling her of the Master who loved her and would never desert her. One Bible woman is attacking the strongholds of Christian Science this year, and already one woman has had her deliv erance. “I studied Christian Science for three years,” she said, and paid "$100 to attend their school, but I never found any thing that satisfied in here (laying her hand on her heart), until I came to the Bible class and found Christ. My relatives are all Christian- Scientists, and they tell me that human ties do not count, but they do, and I shall keep praying and working for them until they all come to Christ.” Let us pray that this may indeed come to pass. The door was opened by a sweet-faced little woman, evidently in a great hurry. “Nothing today; nothing today.” “I haven’t anything to sell,” answered the Bible woman, “but am visiting in the neighbor hood, trying to locate Christians and non- Christians.” This brought a quick response from the woman, and the story was but the -story of many others in our great city: “A stranger here; once a Baptist, a daugh ter of a minister, but now going anywhere, though very much interested in Christian Science.” Then came the opportunity for the Bible woman to present the Scripture concerning this false doctrine, and to make
