Watson says, "The Bible is a rock of diamonds; a chain of pearls; the
sword of the Spirit, a chart by which the Christian sails to eternity,
the map by which he daily walks; the sun dial by which he sets his life;
the balance by which he weighs his actions."

"DO YOU KNOW THE WORLD IS DYING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE?"
Practical results are happy homes, husbands and fathers restored to
their families, wives and children made happy, multitudes rescued, and
the world made better.
The magnitude of this work will never be known until Eternity's records
are disclosed. Little did we think twenty years ago that so humble a
beginning would be attended with such remarkable results.
Rev. Herr holds a unique position in the evangelistic field. He is
considered the greatest evangelist among prisoners in the United
States.--Louisville Herald, May 17, 1909.
When you help the missionaries, you help the poor fellow in trouble.
When you help those in trouble, you help yourself, and when you thus
help the missionary, the outcast, and yourself, God will help you.
OUR MOTTO:
"Seeking the lost."
"Helping the helpless to help themselves."
All along life's pathway there are men and women in need:
Go and help somebody just now.
With a word of kindness or a loving deed,
Go and help somebody just now.
