Giving tracts to passers-by. THE QUEEN CITY MISSION, surrounded by taverns and pool halls, is a refuge to many in despair. Most of those who attend the services for the first time seem hopelessly enslaved by alcohol. It is the purpose of the students who minister there several times each week to tell them of One Who can give them new hope and new life. The workers experience great joy at the change effected in the lives of those who accept Christ. EACH THURSDAY NOON a squad of students minister through music and Scripture-filled testimonies to the laborers at Lurie Factory. The apt attention and ready acceptance of A ir' f, N.. The Word is prominent in leading sinners to jesus. Frank conducts the song service The squad begins the service with a song. God's Word by the workers show the hunger in their hearts for reality.

Vernon Tuber- culosis Sanitarium, where they hold two gospel services during each visit for those who are not fortunate enough to have access to regular services. Often, after ministering to the patients, by testimony, music, and messages from the Word, the students have the joy of seeing one-or more accept Christ. Pa- tients constantly express their apprecia- tion of the interest shown in their welfare. The squad brings cheer with their song.
