Lord Jesus Christ in their hearts. The centfa'l church has an elderly pastor who, though very faithful and earnest; scarcely knows some of his numerous members, who con tinue to come, however, because they have learned the privilege of Christian fellowship. The Great Physician One of the most interesting facts abo-ut this church, or group of churches, is their absolute! faith' in the Lord Jesus Christ. They have constant experiences of answered prayer in the matter of sickness and demon-possession. Mr. Cheng estimates that at least a third of thé membership were influenced for the Gospel through the Lord’s dealing with their bodies. He tells several incidents of those, who had been converted, but had backslidden, and had suffered immediate •physical consequences which led them to a prompt and earnest repentance. For instance there was Mr. Wang, who had been led to,th e Lord through the healing of his body, who was taken seriously ill. The elders called on him to confess his sin, but he at first professed that he éould remember none. ÀtTast however he remembered that he had been much angered by some workmen and had cursed them. “But surely,” said he, “that could not be the cause of my illness.” The elders thought differently how ever, and' Mr. Wang sought forgiveness, and, in answer to prayer, was immediately healed. The incident has had a salutary effect on his temper and now, under much greater provocations, Mr. Wang is gaining constant victories. The Hope of China In the unevangelised portions of this district Biola Evan gelistic Band No. 1 has been operating, and wherever they have gone results have followed. The seven little churches which, have been founded by their efforts during the past year are supported by their own small memberships, and are ministered to, as the. hand members move On to new districts, by deacons and elders from the parent church. As soon as the group is organized into a church the- respon sibility for it is placed on the central church and mission station and the band moves on. We firmly believe that such churches are the hope, under God, of the Christian cause in China. It is for'exactly this that the Biola Bands exist. We long, to she individual conversions, and praise God for every one, but we long also to see this normal development of the church, so that individuals shall be drawn together into the body of Christ without any other attracting or binding force than that which has drawn Christians together in memory of and hope for their blessed Lord in all ages. “ D E F E N D T H E F A I T H ! ” I **ex h o rt y o u th a t ye sh ould e arn e stly co n te n d fo r th e faith w hich w as once delivered u n to th e sain ts.” Jude 3.
