) THE YOKE - FELLOWS HALL. Business is going on in the Yoke-fel- 'lows Hall. So f ar t h e re have been one -or more conversions every night. The meetings are for men only and are well 'attended by men, most of wh om would ¡ s ' n ot enter places attended by women. The street services are held in f r o nt -^of the hall, every night and Sunday a f t- e r n o o ns and l a r ge crowds of men are h e a r i ng t he old Gospel. Agnostics, so- cialists, I. W. W.'s, Mormons and oth- ers are busy sowing the seed of e r r or a nd we are doing our best to sow the seed of the Word. Anticipating t he f u t u re need of a ma- chine for our print shop which will do t h e small work such as letters, tracts, circulars, etc., we have secured a Multi- graph for this purpose and are prepared to serve our f r i e n ds who have work of t h is character to be done. A CHANGE IN THE BOOK ROOM. Miss Ru th Horton, who has had c h a r ge of the book business for the past t wo years and who has so successfully b r o u g ht it to its present good standing, retires to t a ke up a special work among t h e young girls of t he city. She has been able to do a good work along this line in connection with her other duties and now responds to a definite call to t h is imp o r t a nt field of labor. We have been praying t h at t he Lord would send us a man competent to han- dle the growing, Book, P r i n t i ng and Publishing business which we anticipate for our new q u a r t e rs and we believe He h a s answered our prayers in t he person of Mr. H. G. Dean, who has come to us a nd is now installed in the Book Room. Mr. Dean has been actively engaged in t h e d r ug business for many years, is fa- vorably k n own as a t h o r o u gh business man and an active Christian Endeavorer. We gladly welcome him and bespeak f o' h i m the prayers of all of our friends. THE OIL F I E LD WORK. Mr. Sloan passed t h r o u gh t he city w i th his gospel wagon on his way to the Fu l l e r t on fields wh e re he will labor un- til September. He h as had a good year — t h e best of t he t h r ee he h as spent amo ng the oil men. He has visited 34 different camps and held 2 91 meetings, with an average attendance of 39. Th e re were 98 conversions, 56 united with t he c h u r ch and 16 were baptized. He held two communion services, conducted two f u n e r al services and married two cou- ples. This is a splendid report of a f a i t h f ul
man doing f a i t h f ul work. No collections or offerings were taken, ma ny tracts we re given away and m a n y personal in- terviews held. F i g u r es are cold things to use in connection with God's work, only eternity will r e v e a l , t he blessedness and f u l n e ss of this service. F or several mo n t hs Mr. Sloan h as had as his help- er, Mr. George Hamp t o n, a memb er of t he F i s h e rme n 's Club, who expects to e n t er the school in t he fall. May t he coming year be t he best of all i n this r o u gh rugged work. THE MARRIAGE MANIA. The F i s h e rme n 's Club was hit hard in J u ne wh en f o ur of its memb e rs left the r a n ks of single blessedness and took to themselves those who should be the s h a r e rs of their joys and t he doublers of their expenses. Elliott H. Barret, ex-president of t he Club and greatly blessed young people's evangelist, married Miss Leona Hutchin- son. Stanley P r a t t, another ex-president, was united to Miss Ru th Fellows. Chester White, our representative for the Scofield Correspondence Course, took to himself Miss Ed i th Graves, Y. W. C. A. secretary of t he State Normal School and one of the best known Chris- tian Endeavor wo r k e rs of t he State. Harold Cross wooed and won Miss Lela P a rr of Redlands. We wish t h em all a prosperous and blessed journey down life's pathway. HE APOLOGIZED. An interesting incident occurred re- c e n t l y - at one of Mr. Mullen's street meetings. While he was preaching to a large crowd of men, a man passed and used some vile language. Mr. Mullen said to a policeman, "Officer, did you hear wh at t h at man s a i d ?" The offi- cer laid hold of the man and brought him back to the f r o nt and said, " I f -1 arrest this man will you appear against h i m ? " and Mr. Mullen said h e would. Some men began to cry out, "Make him apologize," and Mr. Mullen said, "Get up on t he chair and apologize." The man got up and said, "I apologize." Mr. Mullen said, " T a ke off your h a t and tell this crowd t h at you have a dirty filthy mouth and t h at you a re sorry," and the man said, "I h a ve a dirty filthy mouth and am sorry." He then got down and stood like a lamb until the service closed. This was,a r ema r k a b le experience for a street service and to anyone who knows Los Angeles street and its crowd it seems almost miraculous.
