T H E K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S prayer, went into a wholly unevangelized field in Kiangsi on the first of November last. They were in their first district for two months and four days. They went out from their center in every direction for a distance of about five miles, visiting practically every home. Some two hun dred and forty people seemed to be really moved by the Gospel, and about half of this number gave evidence of having tru ly accepted Christ. Two families removed all idols from their homes, some th irty persons attended the evening Bible classes for enquirers, from fifty to sixty students attended the Sunday afternoon Bible classes, and a self-supporting soci ety for Bible study and prayer was or ganized before the Band left for a new center of work. The rich results of God’s blessing on th e work of this new band in its first field have filled our hearts with joy. What joy the report must bring to God’s servant at home whose generous gift has made possible the work of Biola Evangelistic Band No. 9, as well as Bands 3, 4 and 8, from all of whom equally stirring and inspiring reports have come, both from the leaders of the bands, and
from the m issionaries in whose fields they have been at work. The Rev. Wil liam Taylor, Superintendent of th e China Inland Mission for the Province of Kiangsi, after a recent visit w ith Mr. Porteous to Bands 6 and 9, wrote me of the great joy he felt a t seeing th e meth ods and results of the work, and added: “I wish th a t such bands m ight be doing sim ilar work in every province of China.” Dear friends, will you join us in earn est prayer, regular, persevering prayer for our nine leaders and nine assistant leaders, and for the men in th e bands and in the Bible school a t Changsha, who are now under special training for band leadership? Recent letters tell us th at the subscription list of THE KING’S BUSINESS has passed th e 25,000 mark. This means over 100,000 readers. Would th a t it m ight also mean 100,000 friends who daily hold up this work of the Bible school and the Biola Evangelistic Bands in prayer. Will you be one of the 100,000? Please do! FRANK A. KELLER, Changsha, Hunan, China. T ruly your fellow-servant of Christ.
