COUNTY FARM The service of Jesus true pie i rds — and this is our sentiment concerning the work ot the County Farm Tc radiate the |oy and blessing of Christ is cur aim, both in the chapel and hospital services The distribution of Christian literature and singing, characterizes our work in the wards, while in the chapel we conduct a gospel service, with an opportunity for personal evangelism We have seen these aged folk rejoice in the presence of the Lord, and wi n that our ministry among them is bearing fruit tc the glory and praise of the Master. JUVENILE JAIL and boys, Jesus died for you — a face lights up as the youth recognizes the Name and his mind goes back a few years and he remembers the time a Sunday School teacher told him of a Christ who loved children Another face has rather a strange look. Jesus? — who is he ' The name is only familiar to him as used in profanity. Jesus, and He died for me ? Still another young face has a sneer; he has heard this sissy-stuff before. Yes, this is the picture before the students as they testify to a group of adolescent boys in Juvenile Jail How wonderful it is to see a face change from indifference or hostility into genuine interest and longing for a saving knowledge of the Saviour. SUNDAY AFTERNOON PRISON CAMP What an opportunity for the students to tell the Old, Old Story tc the men in the Los Angeles County Honor Camp far up in the mountains. Before entering the grounds the group of students stop for a personal talk with the Lord, asking Him to guide in the service and to make them a blessing to the men. There are a few minutes for personal work, before the gong sounds calling the men into the hall for songs, testimony and the message. Hearts are melted as God uses the speaker to bring the Gospel Story of Jesus ' love for them, and once again there is joy among the angels as a sinner finds his way to the foot of the cross. But parting time has come, once more the group returns to the school; once more they hove experienced the joy of presenting a satisfying Christ to darkened souls.
