Tuesday evening at 6.30, when a 10-cent lunch was served, after which the study was taken up. The topic was Some Men Christ Won, and it was brought out that Andrew was the first to be. won; he at once began to do personal work and brought his own brother Simon to Christ. John was one of the first, and he was a some- Wwhat different man from either Peter or Andrew. Nicodemus, the aristocrat and the doubter, was one whom Jesus won, and his conversion with the Mas- ter at night brought out, the necessity of the new birth. A disreputable business man known as Zaccheus was also won by Christ, and as an evidence of his changed life he who had been a grafter became a very charitable man and restored four- fold to those he had wronged. Saul of Tarsus, who had been a scholarly bigot, became Paul the Apostle after Jesus won him, and his life was one of powerful influence and is still being felt through his remarkable writings. .. The fact of the wonderful adaptabil- ity of Christ and his gospel was em- phasized and the point was made that this is still true today, for men and women of all kinds and classes are be- ing influenced by the mighty power of the Man of Nazareth.
