Kate was so frightened she could scarce
ly stand, but she managed to reply:
Eyes. When he looked at the garden,
he brought his fist down on the rail and
said "The devil y"
"NIiss Kate" demanded Brother Stone
as sternly as before, "was that all you
heard Uncle Dan say "
eyes that was all, answered Kate.
Uncle Dan had fanked them ALL Kate
Blair, Sister Huse and Brother Farr were
all at his mercy now. The reaction in I'm
Gle Dams favor was complete. A single
glance at the faces of the audience assured
him of this and that he could retaliate safe
ly. But he dropped his eyes on the floor
and seemed TO be absorbed in deep thought.
For the space of full minute the house
was hushed TO perfect stiffness. All eyes
were riveted on him to see what reply he
would make. His soul was full of the
Holy Chest But the spirit of the Master
was with Uncle Dan at that moment. 1t
tempered all his thoughts and feelings, A
serene, holy light broke over his counter
ance. He bowed his head and in voice of
child-like tenderness said:
"Brothers and sisters, this is the door the
Lord himself has opened to let out reforma-
ton come in Let us pray"
And he did pray. There on his Bonded
knees Uncle Dan prayed as he had never
prayed before. 1t seemed as If the very
heavens were opered and all heavens love
and tenderness had flowed into Uncle Dams
heart and its words into his lips. Never
before had he prayed with such fervor.
He prayed for himself. He acknowledged
that he had been tempted, that he had sim
ned grievously. He prayed that he might

prayed for Brother Farr and Sister Huse,
that they might be less hasty to condemn
their Christian brethren. He prayed that
the Lord would forgive them as freely as
he did, to which Brother Farr responded
"Amen, A-a amen !" He prayed that they
might forgive his sin as freely as he for
gave theirs, and was responded to by a
dozen voices.
Then he prayed for Kate Blair, that she
might be reclaimed from her life of thought
lessness. He prayed that the arrow of con-
victon might find her heart that very night,
and that she might not be allowed to go
home without coming pcnitent to the
throne of grace. The prayes was 80 full of
love and tenderness and earnest pleading
for blessing to rest on all present that
every angry and revengeful telling was
swept away and forgotten. More than half
the congregation were in tears before the
prayer was ended.
The door of the revival was already open
ed. Uncle Dams tenderness and brotherly
love had done it.
Brother Farr took fire from Uncle Dan
and followed in the same earnest, fervent,
forgiving style. When he closed Brother
Stone struck into hymn
''When can read my title clear
TO mansions In the Skies
I'll bid farewell to every fear
And wipe my weeping eyes,"
This was sung with an JUNCTION never be-
fore known in Tylervlle.
BY this time the revival was fully com.
menced. Kate Blair broke down before
the meeting was half done. She made her
confession while the tears were streaming
down her face, asking them all to pray for
her. Before the meeting closed not less
than twenty came forward for prayers.

Rob Bell was at first 80 shocked at Kate
Blair's bad conduct that he almost decided
fore the reformation wa&ended, and Kate
was SO humble and plead hard to be for
given that he forgavc hQMnd they were
married.
Kate named her oldest Wy after Uncle
Dan. The old gentleman was always proud
of the little fellow who was fully as smart
and roguish as his mother was when she set
a trap in prayer meeting and caught her
