THE KING’S BUSINESS
to me a sinner.” A few days later, he had gone, as we trust, to be with the Saviour whose words to the thief on the cross were, “Today, shalt thou be with me in Para dise.” A Bible woman in a meeting where the Spirit of God was working went to a woman who seemed in great distress. She had been a church member for years, but knew she needed a deeper work of grace in her heart and life. After showing her from the Word what God required, she made an unconditional surrender. A little removed from her was an older woman who had the same need, and who also surrendered to God. Finding they gave the same address, the worker returned to the younger woman, asking if they were friends. “Qh yes,” said the woman, “That is my motfteT.” By her side now was a young girl, evidently her daughter, asking her if she had accepted Christ; she with tears said, “Oh, I want to know Him,” a n d she soon was rejoicing in her Saviour. Thus in the same hour daughter, mother, and grandmother came'into the fuller light of the gospel, and into fellowship with God. A young man and woman were seeking salvation; thinking they were brother and sister the worker said, “Are you related.” The young woman said, “We are to be married, and we want to start our Chris tian life together.” So step by step from the Word, they came info the light. He was asked, “Do you believe,” and answered, “I do.” She confessed in the same way, then one after the other they prayed and went out rejoicing together in the Saviour who found them. A young woman touring California, stop ping near the Bible Institute, dropped into Sunday School one morning, became interested and came again, was soon inter ested in some week" day classes, and pro longed her stay from week to week, till finally she gave up her other trips abroad and enrolled for regular Bible work. Her
testimony is—“I never saw anything like it, I just cannot get enough, and want you to know it all started in the Sunday School class; am now expecting to return next year and put in a good year’s work, and when I return east all my friends must know about this wonderful work out here.” One Saturday afternoon, a visitor who always takes with her announcements of the coming church services had reduced her supply ..to one invitation. She was impressed that the Holy Spirit had some special purpose for this invitation, so she did not give it out to the next person she met, but waited to be quite sure. As she walked down,the street she saw a man approaching. When they met at the cor ner of the park, he dropped his valise and stepped in front of her. “Madam,” he said, “can you tell me how to fiiid Bunker Hill street?” She gave him the necessary directions and then handed him the printed announcement, adding to it her personal invitation. He thanked her for it, but said that he was on his way to visit a friend whom he did not suppose would want to attend church, but he would at least ask him. The next morning, as' the worker took her seat in the auditorium, she saw her chance acquaintance of the previous day with three young men at ,his ■ side. > She also saw in front of them the teacher of the young men’s class in the Sunday school. As soon as the services were over, she made herself known to the man whom she had invited and asked him to call back the three young men who had already ■ started for the door. Then she spoke to the Sun day school teacher and succeeded in getting them all together. The names and address es of the young men v^ere secured and they were cordially invited into the Sunday school and to return for the evening ser vice. That evening there were a large number of young men who responded to the invitation, and we believe that these three were among the number.
