O I believe the Bible.” We then went to our knees, and together read Isaiah 53, after which amid tears of sorrow and joy, she told God that she would receive Jesus as her Saviour, aijd prayed for her husband, son and brother-in-law. | She said, “Now I will come to Bible class for 1 want to know more of' His Word,” and asked the Bible Woman if she would not come some even ing and open up the Word to her family —the three unsaved men (Isa. 55.T1). The following case shows the value of prayer and follow-up work. A young mar ried woman was saved in visitation work and started in Bible study, but soon grew careless and indifferent. The class began praying and a few faithful ones called fre quently to see her, for over a year. Some gave up and said, “It’s no use,” but one day she was induced to attend Bible class and came into wonderful assurance of sal vation. Now, it’s no longer necessary to call for her. She never misses class and has brought in others. She is full of praise to God for her love of the Word and the understanding of it as never before in her life.

Finally, after much prayer for her, the fourth visit was made, when the woman seemed more indif ferent than ever. She was in the back yard but came to the front door when she heard the bell. After talking for awhile on the sidewalk, she invited the Bible Woman to sit on the porch, and finally when she'became interested enough to ask questions, she said she would try and find a Bible in which to hunt up the answers and asked the Bible Woman to come in. For about two hours the Bible, was studied, and interrupted often to mark the verse or chapter.
