showing how instantaneous and con-
piete were the instances OF conversion
at soole of his meetings.:
One night while we were In London
one CT the best known entertainers
there was feeling discouraged and
down. He was playing billiards with
a friend. when he said to the friend.
Let's so and hear those men from
America.
The next evening he came to Albert
hall and told me what he had done.
said. Stand up here and tell these TO-
600 people about it." And the ceIe-
orated entertainer who was so well
known al over England got up on the
platform and told how he had accepted
Christ.
He went down 10 the manager OF the
concert hall. where he was to take
part in an entertainment the next
night. and said. 81 cannot keep my en-
gsgement with you. cannot take my
part OF the programme. / have been
up 70 the Royal Albert hall and accept
ed Christ"
The manager said. "Au right. but
you must SO out on the stage and tell
the people" Il will do that" he re-
piled. When II came to his number on
the programme Mr.. QUENTIN Ashlyn
stepped out on the platform and said:
Friends. / cannot give you my usual
entertainment this evening. have
been converted in the Torrey- Alexan-
der mission al the Royal Albert hall"
They commenced 10 laugh and applaud
they thought Il was part OF joke.
When they had quieted down he
said, y; is no joke: have accepted
Christ as my saviour and cannot
waste my life In mero'v maxim people
laugh" And at least one person was
converted right then and there.
Then the manager OF the hall said
to him. Mr. Ashlyn. YOU may have
this place every night for a week 10
preach IN n YOU want IT," and for
week that concert house was turned
into a gospel meeting. and for a week

On the bank of an arm of the sea
which runs far up into the heart of the
richest rice plain in Korea is a market
town called SInaupo. Here every fine

and near to buy and sell.
TO this busy place about nine years
ago came a short. thickset. industrious.
though poor. farmer named Hons. with
his brother and their families. For two
years previous he and his house had
been believers in Jesus, and though liv-
ing IN an obscure mountain village the
noise OF his belief had preceded him.
Almost Immediately he found many in
quiries and oh Sabbaths his house was
full OK men who came TO see and 10
worship with him. He prayed 10 God.

the cause Of his Master. Men came on
foot 1--WE. ten and fifteen miles TO have
him preach the Word. Perhaps twice
yea missionary came and visited
the group OF believers. receiving cate
ehums and baptizing such as had given
abundant evidence OF their salvation
and JOY in the Lord
After this rice farmer had been there
a year the congregation had come to
number about 30 They could scarcely
meet IN Hans house. so they bought
another house and made alterations so
that it would seat about b0 people. A
year later this was too small. so
larger house was bought and altered to
seat about so 4 year later this was
too small. and they erectei the building
which seats about 120 and which they
now use as a schoolhouse. They hat
built this expecting 10 add on 10 1t i'm

OF her plans miscarried and IL was
deemed best TO commence what they
called az that time a permanent build
ing, on another lot and on a larger
scale. For the fourth time. therefore.
they prepared a house OF God which.
by crowding. would seat $50 persons.
This was found sufficient FOR their
needs VI TO year ago. Now their con-
gregation number about $50. So. while
they are erecting a buildinr 20 seat 500

places. and hear the Gospel separately.
This group is not exceptionally strong.
but mar endured many bitter struggles
for lite. both from foes within and
without. Through every storm truth
shines forth and the church is In
creased by the addition OF such as are
being saved. The support and propa-
cation has been entirely done by and
through the believers. for missionary

such a church is OF the Lord.

Evidence Of Conversion-

A Greek woman employed In the
American hospital in Caesarea. Tur-

straightway asked leave TO visit a
woman whom she had injured. and to
whom she had not spoken for ten
years. When she trudged through the
snow three or four miles to ask her
"enemy's'' forgiveness her relatives
were sure she had gone daft. But the
next day, when she came back to the
hospital. she said we made peace,
and the stone in my heart is gone"

If we were engaged in a war in
which during the last year over
10000 people had been killed out
right. and nearly $4,000 wounded it
would equal the casualties of any
year of the Civil War on either side
and would not only be the principal
topic of interest, but would fill the
land with mourning; and there would
be intense anxiety and unremittine
effort to bring it to an end, observes
the Cincinnati Enquirer. When.

that between June 80, 1908, and
June 80. 1904, 1O,O46 persons were
