This pledge did not satisfy the ladies
at all, They kept on calling on DR..

SomeiInes they entered his store and
Drayed, but otteAer. they stood in
groups of twenty or thirty on the cold,
damp RaEenspt outside and prayed.
They did not pray at intervals, but it
was enc constant prayer, only inter-
Fppted with nging from nine in the

said be didn't believe in the efficacy
of prayer any more than Prof. TyD-
dali. He Wentson mixing his drugs
