I t is certainly interesting to see the grace of God save and transform the lives of men who are down and out. Several have re turned to give God thanks and the tran sition in their lives is most marked. The majority of men who are saved in this Mission are transients and are lost to us. Here is an extract from a letter from one of the converts who was asked to go into a pool room: “ No, I don’t go into pool rooms. Found a place to work for bed and breakfast. Next day found work.

O ne of the “ Bird Men” found Christ and he has now decided to keep out of the Devil’s territory—“the prince of the power of the air.” It is necessary to provide for temporal wants of men from time to time.
