THE KING’S BUSINESS
enter as many fields for Jesus Christ and the clear, straight gospel o f the grace of God as possible, and pull many from the wreck ere the crash comes to the old world which is so fast ripening for the righteous judgment which a righteous God must needs execute. Evil men and seducers are waxing worse, and many o f the boys who profess to honor the Lord, fall before the persecution. Men who could easily face the cannon’s mouth, or a hold-up gang, drop before the jeer and jest o f ungodly men. ' God is calling louder than ever to the hearts of His own for a bold, aggres sive, frank and definite surrender of lives. Some o f our boys are looking to the great, T AST month brought the usual hard ■“ times, and also many good, blessed times in approval o f our labor here in this great field. While apparently men wax worse and worse as the end o f the age approaches, and Satan’s opposition-is stronger, causing more hard cafees to be met with than ever before,' yet on the other hand the answers to prayer which God gives us, and the souls ‘won for Christ, give us great joy.

The men gave splendid attention, and were glad of the visit we had with them, A passenger vessel was boarded twenty; five minutes before the time o f departure, and after leaving tracts in the cabins, and praying that God would direct him to the- right person (as the time was short), the worker found a passenger in the steerage quarters who at once showed interest in the leaflets given him.
