All through the conference Miss Mer rill, our splendid leader, rem inded us th a t Euodia meant, “F ra g ra n t for Christ,” and as the conference closed every girl came home determ ined to reflect more and more the Master’s life in her school and in her home. “Now th ank s be unto th a t God who always leads us forth to trium ph in the Anointed One, and diffuses by us the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place.” th e cen ter of Los A ngeles.

Such a one fcame to us recently inquiring for “Mr. MBiola.” We discovered a man who be- Wlieved Jesus was the Christ bu t who ||h a d never received Him or confessed Him as Saviour and Lord. How we re- ijo ic e d when he finally dropped to his p knees and poured out his h eart to God in th a t name of which He has said: ‘If y e sh a ll a sk a n y th in g in My N am e Jthat w ill I do, th a t th e F a th e r m ay be I, g lo rified in the Son.” (Jo h n 14:13.) 1 “F o r th e life of th e flesh is in th e blood la n d I h av e g iv en it to you u p o n th e a lta r :to m ak e a n a to n e m e n t fo r y o u r so u ls, T or it is th e blood th a t m a k e th a n a to n e - iim ent fo r th e so u l.” (L e v itic u s 17:11.)
