she went up to the leader and said, “ Will you please tell me the story of these men?” The leader replied, “ A few years ago I was in Long Beach and went into a Bible study class and I got a view-point that I never had before. I saw myself as I had never seen before. I saw what my service for Christ should be in view o f my position. I came home and saw that things were so dead and I started a little Bible study class and it has gone on and gone into this big mission that you have been in tonight.” Seeing God at Work Many obstacles arise and circumstances conspire to hinder the growth and thwart the purpose o f Euodia Club as it. is related to high-school life. However, in the case o f a certain club,¡¿a signal victory was recently won through prayer. When the girls gathered in one o f their clubs, only seven were present, and a note of discourage ment was sounded in an atmosphere o f “ I don’t see what more -we can do.” , As various devices were suggested which might serve as incentive to increased attendance, there appeared to the girls the futility o f everything apart from the power of our living and active Lord, and they all agreed: “ Let us pray.” The entire time for the meeting was devoted to confession of their own failure before God, and earnest petition for His forgiveness and power to win the high- school girls to Christ and a knowledge o f His Word. The hour closed with a sense of victory and with hopes bright for the coming year. On the day preceding the next meeting o f that club, the girls met again for. prayer, and as girl after girl came the following day until the room was filled, and the presence of the Holy Spirit also so consciously filled the place, one girl said in subdued tones: “ It is just ‘looking on’ and seeing God work, isn’t it?” All Because of An Invitation Some time ago a young woman came to California for her health. She did not gain as she had hoped and her mother came to take her home. The night before they were to leave, an Eteri girl asked her to attend the Eteri Club. She. did so and enjoyed it so much that she begged to be allowed to stay a little longer. She accepted the Lord, became a radiant Christian, and her mother came to the Lord, then an aunt. She forgot all about being an invalid. God brought her back to health, and now after six months she has returned to her home in the East. Her Sunday-school teacher has written to the teacher of that Eteri Club asking about the Club; how to form one, etc. In her letter she says, “ I want to know what has wrought the change in Dorothy, that I may help other girls to find that source of strength.” He Boarded the Glory Train - In walking through one o f the railroad yards the other day, our shop worker, Mr. Stuchbery, came upon one of the car inspectors. While the inspector was waiting for a train which was soon to pull out from the yard, the worker had the opportunity o f speaking with him about
What God Has Done Through One Tract A few years ago the present Managing Editor of T he K ing ’ s B usiness , just for his own private study, was charting out the teachings of various religious cults relat ing to important doctrines. A large sheet of paper had been pinned upon the wall of his office and as he learned the positions taken, they were written in the proper squares. One day, the late Mr. Lyman Stewart happened into the office and saw the work, then nearly completed. “ This should be printed,” he said, “and widely circulated, for it shows at a glance what the cults teach in contrast with Bible statements. It would do more good than anything else!” The result was that Mr. Stewart paid for the printing of 50,000 copies which were placed in the homes of Los Angeles. One copy fell into the hands of Rev. S. B. Dexter, who was impressed- that an organization should be formed for its propagation. Thus the Christian Funda mentals League came into being. The leaflet, called “ The Spirit o f Truth and the Spirit o f Error,” has been printed in many languages. In a recent letter sent out by the president o f the League the following Statements are made: “ The distribution o f the folder is not a mere venture or experiment:—2,000,000 copies have already been dis tributed throughout many lands and results numerically and spiritually have been phenomenal. Personally, I have spent over thirty years in aggressive Christian effort in behalf o f the salvation of men and have never known any form o f service approaching the definite success following the distribution of the folder. The results attending its distribution have averaged about ten per cent — that i s ; about 100 persons out of every 1,000 who receive the folders are helped definitely in escaping from the thrall- dom of some Anti-Christian propaganda, cult or delusion. This ministry has been performed upon a most econom ical basis. W e are able to print, pay postage and place 1,000 folders in 1,000 homes anywhere at an average cost o f $15.00 per 1,000. The Christian Fundamentals League expects to mail a copy of the new edition to every minister, evangelist, seminary'and Bible Institute student and prominent Chris tian worker throughout the United ■States and Canada. This will call for 250,000 special copies. The results flow ing from this'distribution alone will be incomparable, as the recipients in turn will be able to reach multitudes with the contents of the folder; the balance of the edition (750,000) will be distributed judiciously throughout the churches in the United States and Canadá. The Outgrowth of a Bible Class One of the women interested in Bible Class work as carried on by our Bible Women’s Department, recently went to the East for a little visit. . In a city in Ohio she wanted to go where things were moving and thought she Would go to a-certain mission and hear the testimonies of the men and women who had been saved. At the close
