C. Horton in January, 1909. "Bible Women" seemed to be the only appropriate name by which to designate those chosen and consecrated to the work of saving souls by leading them to Christ, reclaiming backsliders, meeting, warning and instructing those who have been mi sled by false religions, and establi shing believers through the teaching of the Word of God . The Bible ·woman's work is found wherever the circum stances spell opportunity. Her working hours are any in the twenty-four when the Lord can use her for comforting, help ing, winning back, or saving her sisters. The major part of her work is house to house visitation in an assigned district, organizing and teaching Bible classes, meeting women in business offices, speaking across counters, going from bed to bed in the hospitals, and tactfully conversing in the rest rooms of the business houses . The Bible Woman aids pastors by training the church members for more efficient service, and by finding in her visita tion the backslider and the unchurched, and reporting the same to some pastor. Since the organization of the work, this band of devoted women has spent one entire morning each week in counsel and prayer, knowing that their work can only glorify God through the power of the Holy Spirit.
