A week ago Sabbath day, recent
convert met an old chum whom he had
previously urged to accept of Christ.
As he took his hand. he knew by the
warm grasp that there WAS IL change.
"Oh," said he, ''Bill I'm glad to see YOU
I've found the Saviour; and now | am
going to see if can save my brother who
is deep in sin and want you to kneel
right down here and pray tor me, that
may be able to influence him to turn from
his sinful ways" 'Only to think" said
the one who told this incident. this
man had often asked me to drink with
him, and now he asked me to kneel
down and pray for him - To hear this
told by one of the parties i'll il broken

checks. was IL scene not soon to be for

business man arose and said he had
fought against these influences us long
us he could. Although he had not at
tended the meetings, he knew his
friends had been PRAYING for him, and
when he heard his little daugher about
the house singing that touching hymn,
Almost persuaded" he Went at 3
o'clock that day into his room. and
there alone and upon his knees asked
the Lord to help him. The remarka-
bile thing about this case is, that it WAS
at that very hour that Il petition was
read III the great meeting asking prayers
for this mans soul and the Lord heard
him even when like Daniel. '.he was
speaking. and praying. and c"nteSsing
his sin
Some weeks ago Il Young man went
home from his work and found his wife
preparing to go TO IL dance that they
had both made arrangements to attend
that evening. During the day the man
had heard from his shop mates about
the meetings then i'll progress. and
while preparing To go to the dance, he
casually remarked to his wife that he
almost wished they were going t" the
meetings instead. She replied, Let
us go there them" They went to the
meetings. and both came forward and
there accepted of the great salvation.
At one of the meetings Il month ago.
Il petition came in for Il family who. al
though living within sound of the vii
lagc bells. had never been inside IL
church. and whose children half grown
had never heard IL prayer. This re
quest 81 moved Il recent convert. that
afternoon t" =" and look up this family.
After he had started. Il scnSc of his own
weakness 81 came oven him that he felt
he could not 90 up unless the Lord
Jesus went with him and stepping
aside into the. bushes he kuclt down in
the SNOW in PRAYER. and then went on
his mission.
\ man III the shops wis convinced
he should lead different life. by Il
great effort he told his it.. " hn MIS-

ing home at an unusual hour. lie found

they are now both rejoicing III hope.

is well known at Montpelier that they
had liquor. and large number of them
were under its influence. Nor is the
fact strange. 1t would he so in any
large town ut any large fire. If the
tiremen could get liquor, those who
were in the habit of drinking would
drink. We have the fact from men
who worked on the engines, and there
is no doubt of it.
