Years and years ago a little five-year-old boy knelt at his mother's knee and repeated this little prayer, phrase by phrase, after her: "And, dear Lord, when I grow up, may I be a missionary-at the four corners of the earth-preaching the gospel-for Jesus' sake. Amen." This story, Treasure From the Haunted Pagoda, tells the marvelous way in which God prepared the "special place," where that little boy, when he grew to manhood, could serve Him best. It is true from the beginning to end, and even the superstitious tales of the devil-worshipers are narrated as nearly as possible, word for word, the way they were told. Throughout these pages you can trace again and again the blow for blow given by the forces of evil and the forces of righteousness in the great Christian battle, the controversy between Christ and Satan.
