Observation-Disclosures series of Gospel
meetings commenced on Saturday even
ing, and ending Sunday evening, conduct
ed by Brother S S. Begard, Harvey and
Bentley of St. Adams, was one of great
interest TO hundreds who attended, severe
us WAS the weather. These devoted
brethren will long be remembered by
many who enjoyed in their labors of love.
And some may date their Christian expe-
riences from the special meetings of the
last four weeks. We trust these brethren
have yet much effective work to do for the
Master. Their appeals and entreaties to
the impenitent to yield their hearts and
wills to Christ without delay seemed to
many convincing to any believer in the
truth of Christianity.
