really understand. Pray for the Scriptures that are given out, that they may be studied diligently as the very Word of God, and that the Holy Spirit may make clear His own Word to those hungry and thirsty souls. Most truly your fellow-servant, Frank A. Keller. Changsha, Hunan, China. m m From a University Town "I want to congratulate you most heartily on the July issue of The King’s Business. “ I have long been an enthusiastic reader of the magazine, and have given it first place among the dozen or so relig ious publications which I take. "In these days of apostasy, it is good to read the clean- cut editorials we are always sure of finding in our maga zine, and the loyal contributed articles that make its pages a ‘feast of good things,’ with a goodly portion of ‘meat in due season.’ “ I am enclosing a check for f 2.00 for which please send the magazine for a year to ■ I am sending it as a gift, prompted by the conviction that it will meet the need of a heart hungry for the truth that is fundamental. "For the balance of the check please send me two or three copies of the July number for distribution among some friends who have been poisoned with the virus of Mod ernism.” (J. H. G., Ithaca, N. Y.)

At Mayang, a Mrs. Ma, fifty years of age, listened with close attention and deep interest to the message brought by our men. She asked many intelligent questions, and then began repeating with evident Joy: "Jesus is my Saviour, Jesus is my Saviour," and she positively declared her purpose to put her trust in Him.

Pray for the people, that they may listen attentively, and that the Holy Spirit may help them to
