However, he was not always thus. In his early days lie became a drunk ard, a brief .space of years finding him in the slums of Chicago. Ilis mind defi nitely made up to end his life. Ou his way toward the lake he passed the old Pacific Garden Rescue Mission, where a few months before, "Billy Sunday ' had been converted. He heard them singing and when he stopped to listen, these strains pierced his ears: "Throw out the life line, Across the dark wave, There is a brother, Whom someone should save.” Mel Trotter stepped into the mission aud was wonderfully saved. Since that* night he has not wanted a drink. Immediately after that turning point in the evangelist's life, he went out to tell the story of Jesus and His power to save. Thousands have been saved through his preaching. “Mel Trotter" follows no lead except that of his own urgent unquiet spirit, be cause he has the whole burden of hu manity's salvation on his heart and mind, he (fives straight forward, deaf to appeals, enemies cannot molest him, parties cannot hold him. and creeds can not limit him. He is like the wind that "bloweth where it listeth.” If stagua tion and death is discontented, then Mel Trotter is one of the greatest assets of our time. lie flings his bombs right in to the stagnant recess of our thought, and thrills the air with the spirit of nn -9 Frequent ft 3 Headaches g X) “I suffered with chronic lx M constipation that would bring on W kJ very severe headaches,” says Li Mrs. Stephen H.
