An American commercial traveller
who took the soul-winning pledge
decided upon the plan or taking
thirty minutes each day during his
lunch hour to talk with some person
about Christ. He is carrying out
this program despite many Obstacles
The results repay him fully. Some
times the fellow salesman whom he

SCOTS vehemently at the religious
dope' being handed to him with
his food: but months afterwards the
two men will meet again and the
lsoul-winners Will discover that his
effort was not In vain.
A band oE the Pocket Testament!
League was formed several years
Eago among tho American art and
music students In Paris. Five girls
began holding d little meeting in the
Latin Quarter each week. From
their own slender allowances they
purchased a supply of French Tesla
ments; which were distributed among
the men and women models.
Missionaries in foreign lands find
much help in the league. ana they are
adding largely to its membership.
Sixty members from the South Sea
Islands have recently enrolled their
names as secretaries. desiring to|
bring more members into the league
Their names present a curious corlbi-
nation Of Christian and Heather 10
menclature such as Thomsa Tnm-
tum, Luke Iapyvaroo, Sarah Mony-|
sungwool, Moses Tomasses and Tim
othy Tabycame. The wife of the
mayor of Thursday island has be-
come a secretary to promote the
growth of the league in her commu-
nifty.
81 The great Bible publishing houses
in this country and Europe are CO.
operating with the league by SUPP
plying Testaments at the lowest pos
sible cost. Some OF these have the
league pledge printed upon an in
side page, which the recipient signs
and has always with i'm. The Tesla
ments are supplied in almost every
known language, for the league has
| fonrishing branches in every Europe
an country, in China. Japan and In
.dia.
Fhe most active work now being
carried on by the league is that Of
lenrolling members from the ranks
of soldiers now facing death in the
war zone, or in the military camps
awaiting orders to go into active SER
lsvice. Special Testaments, small in
Ebulk, but printed in clear type, have
Ebeen provided for the soldiers KNAPP
Esack. They are substantially bound
lin waterproof covers. Few of them
are distributed without a friendly
word and g personal appeal that the
league pledge, contained In each lit
tile volume, be signed and kept.
Many of Red Cross workers are
League members and are distributing
the Testamentst among the men
brought into the hospitals. Most oil
the hospitals haye.a supply OF Tesla
lments provided for them, printed in
different languages, to meet the needs
lof the men brought in. Out on the
battle fields, the little Testaments
Iare being freely used. When the
lights are too bad for each man to
Tread his own, man will crouch
down near the light and read a Sc
Ilected chapter to the men gathered
around on the ground or in the
trenches. :.
