' HE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS terested will please communicate with Mr. T. C. Horton or the writer. '• , 0 £*/£.' . BIOLA HALL DAVID CANT, SUPT. From the little upper room at Biola Hall where we write our letters of hope and cheer to the boys and oil ou-r ma chinery we can look out upon the un ending procession always passing to and fro. Our faithful servant of Christ, ev erlastingly giving out the Word of God, is just now dealing with a young man about his soul. He appears to have great possessions and only the Holy Spirit can reveal to him his real pov erty and the real riches. One’s heart can always cry to Him to bless’ the spoken and written Word and after many days the bread cast upon the wa ters returns, for has He not promised, “It shall accomplish that wjiich I please and it shall prosper in the thing where unto I send it.” Said a man to us'this noon, “Do you remember Jack who used to work here? He was saved just after leaving this place where he had heard the message so many times, but never decided for-Christ. You boys did: the planting, and some one else did the reaping, but God gave the increase and on that day so rapidly nearing we all shall share in the reward, when we lay our trophies down at Jesus’ feet, and crown Him Lord of all.” The Grim Preacher, Death God has various ways of reaching men. Sometimes it takes that grim old preacher, death, to unlock men’s hearts to Him. Here comes a lonely, tired, disheartened man. Three weeks ago he buried his wife. ■He happened (?) to pass Biola Hall, heard the message, and gladly received the Word. He 'had never seriously considered the question till death snatched the dear one from his side. Close upon his heels comes a broken-hearted father who, strangely, just three weeks previous, had kissed his bright, promising son good-bye, as he came to the great divide. Was it chance which constrained him also to stop and pause and listen, or was it the Holy Spirit moving upon his heart, lead ing him to step out from the crowd and then and there definitely and openly re ceive and confess Jesus as Saviour? Can you tell the motive power which led still another man with hoary head to over
hear the conversation going on between a Biola worker and an unsaved man? Who gave the wisdom to" the man who invited him to step inside and there with the dear and blessed Book point him to the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world? When the mighty work was done he admitted he had faiied to give God-a chance to speak to him i in all those defeated years, wait ing for a more convenient season, but that very day the funeral of his wife had brought him to the city. Closely following him comes another who, like the Queen of Sheba, came from a long journey with his hard questions to be answered. He, too, had been drinking from broken cisterns which hold no wa ter and when a drink from the deep, sweet well of life was presented, he stooped and drank, his soul revived and he started home to help his wife and fam ily to come see a man who told him all things. He was burdened at once for a friend dying of tuberculosis, and this was evidence of life which puts many of us to shame. A Place of Open Doors GodI continues to bless the testi monies which ring out from Biola Hall to the saving grace of the Son of God. Its doors are always open, its message clear, sweet and true, its motto to the men who love to tell the old, old story from its entrance door, . “I cannot work my soul to save For this my Lord hath done* But I can work like any slave For love of His dear Son.” ■$¡4. BIBLE WOMEN MBS. T. C. HORTON, SUPT. (N otice of th e death of M rs. H orton appears on another page). There was brought to the Bible Class by one of the members a request for prayer for a relative critically ill in the hospital. Definite prayer was offered for her salvation and carefully selected tracts with a dainty and beautiful copy of the Gospel of John were given to be taken to the patient. The hospital being some distance away, it was possible to make only one visit, but the message was given, the Gospel seed tracts left. • The class continued to pray as the only news received was that she was failing rapidly. Then came the news of her death, but still no word as to her spiritual condition. A year passed when
