30 bers shared with me and the other hun­ dred and ninety men the privileges of this year’s “Nanyoh,” and not one of them hut is leaving happier than he was three weeks ago. FISHERMEN CLUB QUAR­ TETTE M. H. Reynolds, Evangelist Leaving the Bible Institute, J.une 28th, the Young People’s Evangelistic party, headed by M. H. Reynolds and including Mr. Earl W. Cochran as song ' leader with the Fishermen Club Quar­ tette, started Jby machine for a great campaign of Evangelism through the Northwest. Their first stop was at Turlock, where they held a union service for one night, leaving the next -day for Ceres, Calif., where they served the Baptist Church. From here they traveled north to Central Point, Oregon, where on Sun­ day, July 4th, they held the morning service, God honoring and giving them souls. On the night of July 4th they were in the big Chautauqua Auditorium a t Ashland, under the auspices of the Ministerial Association. They proceeded to Portland, where they held two services, one in the Pres­ byterian Church and the other in the Sunnyside Congregational Church. Going into Washington on July 11th, they started services in Arlington, Wash. Here, despite much opposition, God led many into a fuller life, and some forty-seven to a tru st in the shed blood. After two weeks’ stay a t Arlington, the party went to Bro. N. J. Barnes’ church at Sedro-Woolley. Here God’s wonderful power was made known in the building up of saints and in the salva­ tion of the lost. Factory meetings, street meetings, and prayer meetings were greatly used of God. After three Sundays the party moved on to Lyman, and from thence the party went to Blaine, Wash., for a union campaign. God wonderfully blessed. After two weeks the party proceeded south to Ferndale. Here the house was jammed and many helped. The party moved on south after four days’ work, with Rev. Chas. Nethery and his church. Stopping one night a t Bellingham, with a union service of both churches, and one a t Seattle, the party went on south to Lebam. Staying here a week, God richly blessed. At Pe Ell, the next

THE K I NG ' S BUS I NES S stop, many souls were saved throughout the campaign. It was the party’s privi­ lege to go before the different schools and tell the “Old Story” in song and tes­ timony. Independence, Ore., was the next stop. Then a night a t Brownsville, one at Eugene, and one a t Roseburg, Ore. Coming on south, two weeks’ meetings were held a t Central Point. Some fifty- seven were saved here. Here, too, as in several of the other places, we entered the schools and preached Jesus unto them. The middle of October we began a two weeks’ campaign in Merced, where God blessed abundantly. The party then headed for home. Af­ ter a whirlwind tour of some four months’ constant work we rejoice to know th a t some 513 surrendered to Christ, while some 280 were saved. Over 700 testaments were put out with some 9000 gospel tracts. Pray for this work th a t God might bless and preserve it. ¿ifc. at? a? BIBLE WOMEN Mrs. Lyman Stewart, Supt. A worker’s prayer was answered in a far different way than she expected. She had been praying for a neighbor and in­ viting her to Bible Class for a year with no visible results. The lady was away during the summer and as soon as she returned she called on the worker and said, “I received Jesus as my Saviour while away and now, may I go to Bible class with you? I know almost nothing about the Bible and feel I have so much to learn. Everything looks so different to me now, and I must not miss a lesson this year.” Two Brought to Christ A worker was sent to call on an un­ saved man who was ill. She was trying to make the way of salvation very plain, but he paid little heed to her, except to oppose her. Just as she was fearing little would be accomplished during that visit a sister of the man, who evidently had been listening outside, came rushing in and kneeling beside th e worker, cried out, “ I have all my life been a church member, but I am not saved, and I do want to be,” and right then she yielded herself, and not long afterward the brother came out clearly into the light.
