We may not see the great crowds gathering about our entrance as in days of yore, but the heart which re tains its first love will always find a way to get the message across, and the personal touch is still bringing men every day to the knowledge of the truth. So we sow in faith, as witness only an hour before this was written. One watcher for souls dropped in for a word of prayer ere going forth to sow the good seed. As he stepped outside he touched a man of his own national ity. To him contact was opportunity, and opportunity spelled responsibility. So leading him within "Blola Hall” the Book of books was opened, and line upon line and precept upon pre cept he read in his own tongue the story of the ruin and redemption of man, and as he saw himself in that picture the truth burst upon him that he was indeed the guilty sinner for whom Jesus died and rose again. Faith grasped the blessed truth, and we were startled by the shout of praise which rang out as still another passed from death to Life.

adhering to the old paths. Yet not- withstanding all we see and hear of deepening apostasy, the Spirit of Ood continues to work in the hearts of both saint and sinner, always encour aging the heart of the sower of good seed, alfordlng and ministering com fort, while permitting just sufficient fruitfulness to be manifested as „to spur one on to fresh endeavor.' "Behold, I have set before you an open door," which will, through God's matchless grace, continue to remain open until all the ransomed church of God are saved to sin no more; until the last member of the body of Christ is gathered out of the world and safely inside the veil. It surely is refreshing and strength ening when those who have been reached through the story that never grows old, return "after many days" and tel) how God found and saved them at the old Main street mission. We were invited to a gathering of Christian men recently, and at the luncheon one after the other told of the gracious dealing of the Lord in their lives during the preceding week. We were made very happy listening to the testimony of one in particular, who recounted how he had been taken out of a life of compromise and defeat. He had had no settled peace, could never control temper and appetites, and all his resolutions and promises of amendment fell through. There was no secret prayer in his life, the Bible was dry and uninteresting, there was no love in his heart. It was at this period of his life he had been brought in close contact with one of the men gathered that day around the board. His regeneration was the re sult of that man's messages to his heart, backed up with a zeal and love for men which awakened him to his own poverty of soul. The two had never exchanged confidences, and up to that afternoon’s testimony the one was entirely ignorant of any influence he had in the other’s life. Coming at a time when the weary watcher for souls stood in need of just such an uplift, it called forth a note of praise and thanksgiving for strengthening his heart for the further conflict. "O wonderful, wonderful story, melt ing the heart to tears; O wonderful, wonderful story, grow ing richer and richer with years." It is these sweet surprises along the way which constrain one to buy up the opportunities, knowing the time is short. We ran into another old friend of happier days who said, "Do you know you were the means in God’s hand of leading my wife’s father to see the finished work of Christ in his behalf? And you will be glad to know he has been going on in happy fellow ship with the Lord all these years." This was as news from a far country, and as waters to a thirsty soul. "Say you not that unavailing are the words you try to speak. Trust the Holy Spirit’s unction; He will strengthen what is weak. Go you forth to do His bidding, the Truth will make you bold; Though few should heed your story, that story must be told."
