THE KING’S BUSINESS
to, give Him the crown of Great Brit ain and India!” In her young woman hood, with life before her, she crowned Jesus King of kings and Lord of lords; and now in her old age, with grey hairs and many cares that she has ■borne,.she wants to give Him every crown that God has given her. One of. the most thrilling moments we ever felt was in a convention of the Christian Endeavorers, when Dr. Clark, the president, rose with a piece of yellow paper fluttering in his hand, and said, before about 20,000 young people, "I have a telegram from Jap an.” There was silence in which you could hear your hearts beat.

She had been reading a pam phlet of book about the Second Com ing of the Lord, and she said, “Chap lain, what do you think about the Sec ond Coming of the Lord ?’’ I do not know his reply, but as he left he said, “Your Majesty, why have you asked me about that question ?” .“Oh,” she said, “I wish He would come while I am alive, for nothing would give me more pleasure than with my own hands
