sation in some way, with the person
am sitting with, and as rule, the ques-
ton is usually asked, Where are you
FROM? When I tell them Zion City,
they become very much interested.
Going one day, from St. Louis to
DesMoines, a gentleman came and sat
down beside me- We started talking
about Zion, and kept it up until we left
the train at DesMoines, talking six
hours. He said he had heard and read
about Zion City, but had never seen any
one who had come from there. He was
a Christian, and became very much in
/ terested.
II subscribed for the Leaves of Heal
ing for him, and am sure that they will
bear fruit I gave him my testimony,
of how God had healed me of consump-
ton, and my mother-in-law of total
/ blindness, and it seemed to make deep
impression upon him. Now whenever
| am in Des Moines he always invites me
to his home to stay over night.
Zone day | was in the depot at st.
Louis, and a man came up to me and
asked me if | would watch his suitcase
for him, which I gladly did. He was
gone about fifteen minutes, and when he
came back | asked him why he had
trusted me, as I had had plenty Of time
to run off with the suitcase. Why he
said, I noticed your Zion button, and
then knew that you were strictly honest
Another time was on a train, and
man sat reading a newspaper just in
front of me. He turned around and
said, isn't this terrible warp I said,
Yes, it is. It certainly is a sign that
we are living in the last days He
looked at me and said, You must be

asked if had any objection to his oc-
cupying the seat with me.

longed to, and I told him Zion He
then wanted to know more He was es-
pecially interested in the subject of bap-
tism, telling me that he had been
/ sprinkled and also immersed But after
telling him about Triune Immersion, he
said that he wanted to obey God fully.
II gave him an invitation to Zion City,
and he told me that on returning from
New York, he would come | am glad
to say that he did, and can assure that
he certainly enjoyed himself I am

him, if he obeys God as he gets the light
of the full Gospel.
! Another time on train, man came
and sat with me, who was on his way to
have an operation performed. He had
mt taken food for week, and could not
swallow. Doctors in his home town had
said they could do nothing for him, but
had advised him to go to specialist. I
gave him the testimonies Of different
ones whom | had known, and who had
been healed in answer to prayer.
"Then | said to him, Are you Chris
tian" He answered, I do not belong to
any church. [ told him that God would
not ask what church he belonged to,
when he departed this life, but that he
would have to give an account Of the
deeds done in the body, whether good
or evil
HE introduced me to his wife, and
told her what | had said about doctors
and operations. He said, I do not
think | will be operated on, but will go
straight home instead By this time we
had arrived at our journeys end, and he
thanked me over and over again for my
encouraging talk. | pray that God will
bring him to Himself, and heal him.
There are numerous opportunities for
Zion man on the road to witness for his
Master.

derful words, and mean so much. Bust

be all right. | know if you are Zion
man, | can depend upon what you tell
me, and that you will not lie to me.
These goods must be all right, if they
