THE KING’S BUSINESS
telling her that her mother could not help her but that Jesus was ever at her side, and what He wanted was that she should praise Him all the time, and for all things, a$ this brought much glory to His name. The past week she has gained great victories along this line. Is very faithful and has a desire to see girls saved. Always ready to pray girls.over hard places. My heart is daily filled with praise to Him for sending me such a splendd helper. May it be His good pleasure to give us many more like her. Here are some requests for prayer: That God would send me a young foreign woman, who has graduated as a teacher and who can teach music and the organ, leaving me free for the teaching of the
Word of God, looking after the business end of the school and visiting in the homes of the girls. For two pupil-teachers, as the school is growing and we need to separate day and boarding pupils. That about $50 be sent for fixing up a yard, tables and benches for the day school; we have buildings, all they need is repairing. That God would only send those to,'us whom He has from the foundation of the world chosen should be here. For the homes from which these girls have come, that they might be given •the peace of God that passeth knowledge, that they might be strong enough not to listen to the dreadful stories that are being spread by the heathen.

Afloat in GM m
By DR. F. A. KELLER River Evangelist of Bible Institute of Los Angeles
"I A7E now have three parties at work— * * thirty-nine men in all—and have three promising men* in training , for the leadership of new parties. We earnestly hope and pray that God may make provision so that we can add at least two, and if pos sible, three new parties to our force this year. The leaders being provided, seems a token of His plan. , During 1916 the men of our two parties visited 55,572 homes;—gave away sixty-five Old Testaments, 919 NeW Testaments, 4,580 Gospels, 67,738 copies of our own pub lications (topically arranged portions of Scripture) and 31,353 Gospel tracts. The following extracts from recent let ters received from missionaries, show how eagerly they desire our help and co-operate with the colporteurs, and how richly God is blessing the work: A Wesleyan missionary writes: “May I
bring to your notice the populous county of Kiyang in Yungschowfu? There is a large county seat and many large country villages without any foreign missionaries. I am responsible for that whole area, together with a large part of two other counties. We hope that you can arrange to come to our aid.” What the missionary means by “being responsible for that whole area,” is that he has been assigned by his mission to take charge of the work in this section, being part of the territory assumed by the Human Missionary Conference held some years ago. The territory is greater than they can evangelize for years to come, so that they are glad to have our colporteurs come in and do the pioneer work for them. We have promised them that, God will ing, we will send a party into the district in October, probably a two year’s task. It
