Truly, the only thing which will keep Christians in these days is the daily walk with God and feeding on His Word. When Christians do not know their Bibles, false teachers ■ find these easy victims. Our tract boxes are well patronized. We have twenty-five of them at various points in the fields, and these do busi ness for God day and night. v More and more we feel the need of prayer, and like Habbakuk, we cry “O Lord, revive thy work.” Our responsi bilities increase as the way opens up, and we truly desire that we may be faithful to Him who has called us by His grace.—Frank J.

We talked with her and directed her to put her trust only in the Lord Jesus, after which in union with four other Christians, we prayed with and for her and they, as is their custom, repeated our prayers. Then she would get out of bed and kneel at the chair and take our hand and place it on her head. We surely felt that if the Lord were there in person, He would have compassion on her.
