THE KING’S BUSINESS

out so as I came home on train I slept as child. Hallelujah, Sami Seyo. I be­ lieve soul saving. Don’t you? This I have learned while I was Moody B. I. under Dr. Torrey and Hunter. Our church building will finish on January 15th, then we can hold 500 very easy matter. Will you not pray for us? I ■need your prayer. God may fill our church and Gospel may preached and souls must be saved by 100. Oh! pray for Kimura. Oh! You dear fishermen sending me to Japan from your city, rather from you school. Now you are working in Japan while you are sleep­ ing. I am yours in soul winning, H. S. KIMURA. for God is the Los Angeles street pool. Five hundred men could fish there every day in the year without searing the fish. Any man could get a nibble right away as soon as he threw out his bait. Not every man could land a fish, for fishing in this pool demands skill. Most men would rather talk about fishing than to fish. They love to sit around a banquet itable and hear how Wesley, Finney, Moody, Spurgeon, Torrey, Chapman and others landed their fish. They would rather swap fish stories than to get down to the real fishing business. At the Yoke Fellows’ Hall men are gathered every night of the week and good business is being done. On Sunday evenings more than a hundred men take supper, and opportunities for personal work are ■unlimited. Mr. Mullen con­ tinues to hold hundreds of men each eve­ ning on the street, and the coming win­ ter will afford greater privileges than ever before for seed sowing in this re­ markable field. NEWS FROM THE OIL FIELDS. WE HAVE been fixed up nicely here in the Union Camp. A tent house has been turned over to us, gas lights and a royal welcome. Everybody most that can is coming to the services. Had 45 present, only 5 professed Christians. Some have been saved. Others ought to be and may before we close. Two places at Taft have sent us word to hurry and come to them. My new helper and yokefellow, A. T. Whitteker, is proving himself a jewel.

WOMAN, brought up in the Catholic -iV church, who for nearly two years had been hungering after God, was led by one of the Bible women through the Gospel of John and some tracts to defin­ itely take the Lord Jesus as her Saviour. Although an ihvalid, confined to the house most of the time, her life is ra- dient with the new-found joy, as she not only tells her friends, but writes the glad news to relatives and sends litera­ ture provided by the worker. During a series of four meetings held especially for non-Christians, one girl was led to promise to bring another (non- Christian, if possible,) to the next meet­ ing. She did so, and was greatly im­ pressed with the thought, “Why am I not always watching for these opportunities; Why do I wait to be requested to do this?” ~ Finally she came to the Secre­ tary, who discovered that the girl her­ self was in uncertainty and doubt. Though a college girl of keen intellect, who had been betrayed, through her philosophy, into darkest doubt, yet in her misery she sought to help others. After two long interviews and much prayer, she gladly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord. She 'had been very wretched, had even doubted there was a God, but by His grace she found Him a present, living, reality. Since her con­ fession, a more radiant Christian was never seen than this young woman. One girl was given money for a new Easter dress and used much of it for the Scofield Correspondence Course. One girl, reared in a ^Christian home and the church, discovered, after six months of association with praying girls, that they had something that she lacked. Upon investigation she was shown her lack of assurance that Jesus was her Sa­ vior. She acepted Him and in the next six months developed into a marvelous worker. Her vision of service widened until she has volunteered to go to the uttermost parts of the earth if God will let her. A girl of twenty, given up to die, ac­ cepted the Lord, who gave her new physi­ cal strength, making her a new creature in Christ Jesus—physically, mentally,
