THE KING’S BUSINESS
of God as with provided copies of Genesis we have our readings, starting in on the book of beginnings. W e are learning how the darkness upon the face of the deep when all had become without form and void was dispelled by the Word and the Spirit brooding upon the face of the waters. These dear fellows, like us all—for there is no difference—dark and blind from natural birth, have had brought to them that same Word and Spirit for Jesus is still passing by to shine in their hearts, giving the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in His blessed face. T here is also much encouragement in the house-to-house visitation in the vicinity where the car men live where we can reach the mothers, wives and children. During the coming months we are planning to branch out into larger, more extended fields for Gospel effort among the various manu facturing shops among those men who are rarely ever brought under the sound of the Word. Pray for this work, pray as never before, for the time is short and the harvest time will’ soon be here. W e know “the en trance of Thy Word giveth light.” Pray for open doors and willing hands and hearts to carry the water of life and let us lay hold of Him for souls “who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that work- eth in us.” For He has said, "Without Me ye can do nothing."

A nswered prayer for the work in the car barns call at this time for a special note of thanksgiving to Him who has said, “ If ye shall ask anything in my name I will do it.” God is able to break down all barriers of indifference, lethargy and coldness on the part of those who are brought in contact with,' coming under the hearing of that Word, “like as a fire and like a hammer which breaketh the rock in pieces.” The scene of our labors in the carbarns, after a period of languishing, has undergone con siderable change during the past month in the attitude of our constantly shifting au diences for which we gladly render our gra cious God all the praise.
