THE K I NG ' S B U S I N E S S
One evening while speaking in the hallway we noticed a man step in and attentively listen. At the close of the message he came to the speaker and said: “Can I have a few minutes with you?” He was led into the rest room, and there we heard his story. Nine years before he had accepted Christ as his personal Saviour, but because of his lack of knowledge of God’s Word, fell back into the old life. All this time he had been miserable and discontented. While working in one of the downtown cafeterias he found a tract which one of the workers left during the meal. This had our Biola Hall address on it and something told him to come and get back to God, and this was the reason he had asked to have a word with the worker. He found the Saviour that night. Our noonday meetings go on with increasing interest and results. At pres-, ent Charles M. Alexander and party are conducting them and God is richly blessing. One day last week three men raised their hands and said “I am com ing to God today,” and many more asked prayer for others. Only today a man came in and said “I asked prayer here the other day for my family and, praise God, He has answered it already! 3 —M. H. Reynolds, Supt. “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” This promise has been fulfilled by the Lord to His people and His servants in these fields. Notwithstanding death is rampant everywhere, yet THE OIL our Lord has been faithful FIELDS with us and we have been permitted, in His hands, to have a part in the blessed work of res cuing the perishing. Our Sunday school on the Moron Lease and A. P. L. Station, near Mari copa, keeps up with good attendance.
take up the work among our policemen, firemen, railroad and shop men, if some “Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus” would bring about a hundred pound weight of the “mammon of unright eousness” and invest it in this most righteous cause, for it is the best divi dend-paying proposition on earth. We bespeak your prayers for this cause. The boys are mortally weary of men’s words and opinions. Fanciful and pri vate interpretations pall, but where they are given the pure, unadulterated milk of the Word, they thrive and grow. While waiting for our car to start for the city yesterday morning,' the motor- man was reached, and while he was most gratefully signing up, his conduc tor came along. Having but one Testa ment, we expressed regrets, compromis ing by giving him a Gospel of John with a promise to mail him a Testament on conditions subscribed. On leaving the car, the conductor gripped our hand with a brightened face saying, “it seems mighty good to once again read that little book. I’ve just finished the first four chapters between ringing up fares, and I’ve got strength to help me this day over the hard places. Thank you ever so much.”—David T. Cant, Supt. Over a hundred and fifty souls were led to pass out of darkness into life at Biola Hall the past month. Our large hallway affords abundant opportunity for street work, and it is BIOLA here that some of the great- HALL est work is done. Every afternoon we have a crowd in the hallway listening to the Gospel. Business men stop for the mes sage and in one instance, seventeen of them stayed for over forty-five minutes, and at the close of the meeting stepped up and took a Gospel of John from the hands of the workers, promising to read it.
