could possibly do." One said, "I would have to write a long distance," and the other responded, "So would I ." George said his mother was in England and Robert said his mother was in Scotland. One had left home three months ago, and the other four. They both agreed to write, and the letter came in answer, praising the Lord that their boys had accepted Christ. Their words were, "Is it not strange that the Lord had to send us clear from England and Scotland, and across this continent to find the Saviour." One recently said, "See how the Lord has blessed me,—he has recently given me a lovely Christian wife." They have been true in service to their Master, and the Lord has indeed been blessing them.
MR. WM. SLOAN AND MR. GWYNN LEWIS Oil Field Evangelistic Department
A L I F O R N I A 'S leading industry is found in the abundance of its oil pro- ducing wells. Throughout the State the stately derricks are a sign of industry and a signal for service to those who desire to reach the neglected classes. To the men in these fields we have been permitted to minister through our evangelists and although the work has been arduous, calling for much of self-sacrifice and deprivation, the fruitage has been rich. The first year opened the way for a larger service during this year. The prejudice of some who suspected the sincerity of man on such a mission, was dissipated by the second trip and they have been accorded a generous reception. Men have confessed Christ and have commenced to testify. Testaments, Gospels and tracts have been widely distributed and many of the men have subscribed for the King's Business with a view of continuing Bible study.
