The Work in San Francisco

By Clarence E. Moon

THE Lord has blessed us in a special manner in the last few months in helping to get this blessed, saving truth before the people of this great city.

We have been enabled to sell three hundred or more Chinese papers in China Town, one hundred Japanese papers, and hundreds of English — Signs, Life and Health, Life Boat, and Watchman. We have also been blessed in personal work among all classes.

A most remarkable case was that of a man who had been held under by the drink habit for twenty years. He came to us and asked for work. We told him that he did not need work so much as he needed freedom from his evil habit. He said that was impossible, for he had tried so many times and failed. Then we told him of the Great Physician who has power to cleanse from every vestige of sin, after which we knelt in prayer with him. We felt that there was joy in heaven that night; for Christ had said, “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth;” and we all

could testify to the joy in our own hearts. I have since received three letters from this brother, and in his last letter he said that he thanked God for this new life, that he felt much better both spiritually and physically, and is proving faithful to Christ and his truth, although he has had some hard trials.
