From time to time as these things were presented to him, the visitor would ask that some point might be made more clear, and when at last the two pictures, one of Messiah and the other of Jesus were placed side by side, he said he was now fully convinced and perfectly satisfied that Jesus Christ was Israel’s Messiah. When urged then and there to receive Jesus Christ as his own personal Saviour,' he did so and with a happy face left, for home to tell his wife the good news and, if necessary, give her the Scripture proof which had so com pletely satisfied him. A few days later, on calling at their home, the worker found T N our work among the Mexicans we are often reminded of Central America, where, through pioneer work, it was our privilege to sow broadcast the living Word of God, and later had the joy of reaping; but don’t let anyone think that we had a big harvest.all at once; there had to be the faithful sowing of the seed which with many tears and prayers was watered. In our work among the Mexicans we canilot boast of a great harvest as yet, for our work is but in its infancy, and many whom we have talked with never saw a Bible nor heard the Gospel. They don’t know what a Sunday School is until a mis sionary comes among them. Therefore the superstition and ignorance of Romanism has to be cleared away; it is “line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little.” Then it is “the entrance of His Word that giveth light,” and as the light of the glorious Gospel shines in their hearts, they are made to realize the awful ness of sin and their need of a Saviour.

Praise God that He is able to satisfy the young man with Himself, for it is still true that He is a satisfying portion to His people, because He is the One “altogether lovely and the fairest of ten thousand to the soul.” Two men in another camp also testify to the joy of salvation since they have
