Ron ald R. Kratz was the pastor of the church that entertained the conference. A. G. Annette, the newly elected presi dent of the association, writes concerning the gathering ¿¿‘Plans were made to press the cause with even more determination. There was a splendid feeling of good will among all the brethren present, and there were many denominations represented, all conscious of our common need.

I rvin O verholtzer This little book by the General Director of the Child Evangelism Fellowship and author of the Teacher’s Introductory Bible Studies not only inspires the reader to at tempt the winning of children for Christ, but also tells how to do this work. Empha sizing this ministry as being primarily per sonal work, Mr. Overholtzer gives highly practical suggestions for both simplicity and thoroughness in making plain the story of salvation. Illustrations and termin ology that have helped children know how to receive Christ, form an especially valu able section of the book. Further, the’ author shows how the child may be led into an assurance o f salvation and can be en couraged to live the Christian life in the power o f the Holy Spirit. 38 pages.

ROMANCE OF A LITTLE OLD BLACK BAG! J UST a dilapidated little old bag found among a pile of old papers and discarded things in a lonely, empty old shack. T HE handle is broken loose at one end. The sides and ends are wrinkled and bulged. The lock does not work and it is far from being a beautiful bag. Yet through the years and over thousands and thousands of miles this little black bag has been a true servant to one of our missionaries. T } IBLES, Testaments, Song Books, Tracts,—hundreds of them—have passed through this little black bag into the hands of men, women, and children who were literally starving for the blessed Gospel. It has been a real treasure-house of spiritual help, bringing joy and comfort to thousands of lives in the “back-lands” of Wisconsin. "CAR more important than the little black bag, is the missionary who reclaimed it for service. Without his vision of its possible usefulness, it would have been long since destroyed. But the missionary was only interested in the little black bag because it could help him serve human beings, who were also forgotten and perhaps useless, because they had lost contact with their Heavenly Father. With the little black bag, he still goes out to find the lost. /^W E R well nigh impassable roads into the hinterlands of his state, sometimes afoot, he travels as God’s messenger. He calls on lonely families, bringing good cheer and a message of hope and love based on God’s blessed Word. Sunday-schools are established- S preaching stations arranged, and Christian literature provided for those in isolated places. T T IS a blessed ministry and is typical of the service being rendered by all our mission- aries who labor today in forty states of the Union. TF THE Lord should inspire a desire in your heart to have at least a small share in this work, a card to the National Office or to any District Office, will bring desired informa tion. Ask for a copy of the “SUNDAY-SCHOOL MISSIONARY.” Our “ SPON SORSHIP PLAN” affords a splendid opportunity for intelligent giving with personal con tacts with the work.
