Sixteen out of the 23 clubs were represented. The Graham Club carried |^ff the banner for general sports for the second year in succession, though nearly every club had a prize-winnér in the list.

Weightman worked like, trojans to make the meet, a success.
Some 300 boys awaited the dawning of Saturday, April 21st, with anxious hearts, for should it rain it would spoil one of the greatest days of the year for these boys living in and around the city of Los Angeles. It was the day of the Fourth annual Junior Nuntius trackmeet and picnic, under the auspices of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. Harry A. ,MacArthur superintends these clubs. The day dawned bright and clear and the boys were; ready at an early, hour to leave for a day of instruction and enjoyment. Mr. MacArthur was the busiest person to be found in Los Angeles that morning. At 9 o’clock they began to arrive at Brookside Park (Pasadena) and until one o’clock they continued to gather

grant that conditions do have their influences. However, Mr. Pearson teaches them that their greatest difficulty is spiritual depression and that Christians must encounter a spiritual foe, especially in these latter days. Their great adviser, the devil, is a spiritual being, and in order to be victorious, they must take on armor for such a conflict. A Chief Steward on one great boat was led recently to see this, and the worker saw him in victory in his life before he left port. One encouraging thing about the Sunday afternoon work for seamen carried on by Mr. Pearson at San Pedro, has been the fact that many of our U. S. Navy boys have expressed such heartfelt appreciation of what has been done for them and have given assurance of cooperation in the work. Many have taken tracts, Gospels and books back to the ships to. use on the summer’s cruise. They have written letters in appreciation of the efforts. Pray for these dear fellows. We would not dare to print some of the actual conditions among them. Personal cor-
Send Up a Prayer For th e Men of th e Sea In spite of the fact that our beloved worker among thè seamen at Los Angeles Harbor, Claude Pearson, has been carrying great burdens because of his wife’s pro tracted illness, God has been signally blessing his faithful testimony among the men of the seas. Mr. Pearson, single-handed, has kept up the meetings for seamen in his home, often feeding large numbers of the men in order to have an opportunity afterward to teach them the Word of God. People who enjoy fellowship with their own families and have the privilege of religious services weekly can hardly realize the spiritual depression connected with the monotony aboard ship. Quite often Mr. Pearson deals with men who have not seen wives or children for several years. They have been confined within four walls and are homesick and discouraged. They think that if their conditions were changed they would be happier. We must
