THE KING’S BUSINESS
Youngkens take service, is a faith work. Mr. Charles E. Hurlburt is the Director upon the field, and Dr. R. A. Torrey is the Chairman of the Home Council, whose headquarters are in Philadelphia.

If the Lord tarry we are expecting that very many from our classes will be thrust out into the dark places of the earth. One evening in November Mr. Nowack of China, su perintendent of an independent mission, appeared before the Fishermen’s Club and spoke for ten minutes concerning the need of a young man for his field. After prayer and at the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Hams Von Klitzing, a mem ber of the Club, and a student in the Institute, volunteered. As he was evi dently set apart by the Lord for the work and as he has been a diligent and faith ful student of the Lord for the previous year, consent was given to his departure. The Mission is a faith work, and there were no funds on hand for his outfit or passage money. On the Wednesday night following in a little church prayer meeting the matter was incidentally men tioned and in a few minutes’ time the passage money was practically secured and his support for five years guaran teed. Within ten days Mr. Von Klit zing had sailed for the field. MR- KIMURA is the representative of 1 the Fishermen’s Club in Japan.
