seminaries for three weeks of Bible study, prayer and con­ ference, and in personal work among the pilgrims and when they are returning from the mountain after having performed their devotions. They readily accept the literature, which is prepared with great care for this purpose, and many are the conversions resulting from this work. Arrangements are being made for the erection of build­ ings at thi s point also, suitable to house the missionaries and students. Biola Hall Our City Mission at 421 South Main Street is admirably located for the work which is being conducted there. Thou­ sands of men pass its doors, day and night. The Hall is light, cheery, and we ll equipped for definite, personal , evangeli stic work. Meetings are held in the entrance of the hall , which is so arranged that at least fifty men can gather from the st reet, without interfering with the traf­ fic and on our own premises. An audience can be secured in five minutes at any time of the day or night, thus providing the best place for personal work we have ever had. Num­ bers of men are brought to Christ each day. In connection with this work, a noon-day prayer meeting is held, and a Men's Bible Class on Sunday afternoon. The hundreds of young men who are coming to the city afford us an unusual opportunity of reaching them at the crucial time. This is a '1:eal training school for the practical work of learning how to preach by preaching.
