T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S ONE TRACT DID IT The following incident sent by Rev. A. D. Ellington, now with the American Sunday School Union, with headquarters at McAlester, Okla., is a wonderful illus tration of what may be accomplished by the giving out of ONE tract: “ Seven months ago I handed the lit tle tract ‘Have You Heard?’ to a man. It brought him to Christ, and through him sixty others have been brought to a definite knowledge of Christ as Sav iour and Lord, a church has been organ ized, and neighboring communities have felt its influence.” This little tract “Have You Heard?” is a compilation of Scripture verses, and was prepared by Mr. Lyman Stewart (a practical business man), President of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. “ The seed is the Word” (Luke 8:11). “He that goeth forth * * * bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” (Psa. 126:6) HI III PERSONAL WORK HELPS The following books are recom mended as the best to be obtained for the help of personal workers. The Bible must, of course, have the first place as the text book, but the follow ing books give the result of experience on the part of some great soul winners. “ Taking Men Alive,” by Trumbull. “How to Bring Men to Christ,” by Torrey. "Introducing Men to Christ,” by Weatherford. “ Second Timothy Two Fifteen,” by Sayles. “ Individual Work for Individuals,” by Trumbull. “ Recruiting for Christ,” by Stone. “ Studies for Personal Workers,” by Johnston. “ Personal Work,” by Sayford. “Winning Men to Christ,” by Evans. "The King’s Greatest Business,” by Gilbert.

INFIDEL LEADERS Dr. W. B. Riley of Minneapolis said in a recent sermon: “ Evolution is the conception and ex pression of skepticism, not science. It is well known that it orginated with unbelievers. Darwin was an unbe liever; Spencer was a skeptic; Huxley was an agnostic, and Haeckel was an atheist, who called himself a monist. Not a single one of these men was ever famed as a Bible student. Not one of them ever made a profession of the Christian faith. When they touch upon the subject of religion at all, they prove their contempt for it. Haeckel reveals his utter antagonism to Christianity again and again. To him the Christian faith was a ‘superstition’ and adoption of it was ‘stupidity.’ He says, ‘Never will our government improve until it casts off the fetters of the church.’ And again, ‘The climax of the opposi tion to modern education and its founda tion, advanced natural philosophy, is reached, of course, in the church.’ “ It is not unnatural, therefore, that young men and women taught by such teachers, taking into the very lungs of their intellects the atmosphere of such text books as they produced, should turn out liberalists, free-thinkers, mon- ists, infidels, atheists! Like begets like. If the colleges and universities of this land had, in a solemn convocation, de liberately decided to extinguish the Bible, annihilate Christianity and intro duce -a reign of intellectual and moral terror, they need not have changed their educational methods one whit. The election of these infidels as the leaders of thought, and the adoption of text books based upon their unbelieving phil osophies, and the stressing of their so- called science as against the Scriptures, is the exact course to be taken in effect ing. such an end.”
