Several subscriptions have been received recently, for the purpose of sending The King’s Business to men in army camps. Through former students in the service, we are in touch with men who would appreciate the spiritual help afforded in the monthly message of the magazine, and funds given for this purpose can be put to the best of use. Letters have been received recently from Kenneth Powlison and Mr. and Mrs. H. Cromwell McKinney, Bible Institute graduates, now missionaries in South America, under the Bolivian Indian Mission, of which our brother George Allan is the director. Mr. Pow lison writes: “T here is evidence of the S pirit w orking in th e h earts of m any here and we are quite con fident of a revival some day. W e are praying th a t th ere will be enough w orkers here to m eet th e tide w hen it comes and teach them so th a t S atan will no t sidetrack them .
