helping tell the etld, old story of the Sav iour who died to redeem men from sin and make them what they ought to be. The attendance at the meetings of the Club is not very large but we always find some one to speak to about the Saviour. We had a social time at the Club one night this month, which proved a great success. It was well attended, about fifty-five being present. Some of the fellows who had been won to Christ were there bringing thgir unconverted friends. It was a fine opportunity to speak a good word for our Lord Jesus Christ. We had a regular good time, and at the close a message on the Gospel of Jesus Christ was given. Do not forget to pray for the work and the work ers. true, I too, will believe in him.” This his caller could not do, for, to put it in his own 'words, he was not “educated enough for that,” but, he said, if the friend desired, he would the next'day take him to see a man whom he knew could give him the proof he requested. The next day they presented 'themselves at the Mission Home, asking that the “mis sionary” would give them the necessary proof. This, he wals more than glad to do, and going through Moses and the Prophets, he expounded the Scriptures concerning Messiah, touching on his nation ality, birthplace, character (both human and Divine), His miracles, the time of His coming, His atoning death and resurrection. Then, referring to history, he showed the falsity of th e ’claims of many to Messiah- ship on the ground that they did not fit the description of Messiah given in the Jewish Scriptures.

When saved he was offered some money to live on, but he said, “No, if Jesus can save me He can get me a job.” After asking God’s guidance, he left the i Club in search of work, a happy man with a handful of tracts to give out. That very same after noon he came back with the news that God had given him a job. He was so full of joy over his new found Saviour that all He coiild say was, “Oh if I had only known Him sooner.” Today he still has a job, and at night he is down at the Club D URING the past month our hearts have been gladdened in seeing six of our Jews and Jewesses receive Jesus of Nazareth as their long-looked-for Messiah.' It affords us great pleasure to see those whom we have been privileged to lead to the Lord, telling out the old, old story, and thus in ever-widening circles sending out the glorious tidings of salvation to a needy world. Such was the case of one man who, though but a young gonvert himself, had found the Lord so precious that he felt he must tell others of his new-found joy. In calling , on a friend one day, he told of his experience with God and did his utmost to lead his friend to the Lord Jesus. So interested did they become, that their conversation lasted into the hours of the night. The final outcome of it all was, that the friend said, “If you can prove to me from the Jewish Scriptures, that JeSus Christ is the Jewish Messiah and that all these things you have been telling me are
