Jennie Smiths Work.
Railroad Meetings and Results.

The religious meetings that have
been in progress at the carpenter
shops OF the B. 4 o., for several
weeks past, closed after midnight
on Monday, but were followed by
an all-day Prayer Meeting at the
NJ. E. Church on yesterday and
last night, in charge of Miss Jen-
ME Smith and her co.workers, Miss
Sherman, Mr.. and Mrs. Harris and
Mr.. Little, of Cumberland, who
has been with them for several
DAYS.
On Sunday afternoon, Miss
Smith related to about one thou
sand people at the shops, the won
derful story of her physical and
spiritual experiences through
twenty years of intense bodily suf-
ferings and the FIVE years of con-
slant work since her remarkable
cure.
But for the severity of the wea-
ther, Sunday would have brought
together the largest crowd of peo-
pie seen in Parkersburg for many
a day.
Though a snow storm was pre-
vailing, making it very disagree
able in the shops, yet that great
crowd, while shivering with cold,
listened in almost breathless ST.
lence through more than an hour
to Miss Smiths heart-stirring. sto-
ry of suffering, faith and victory.
TO have attended this one meet
ing would have convinced the
most doubling of the wonderful
power over the hearts Of the peo-
pie, vouchsafed to this faithful and
devoted Christian worker.
On Sunday and Monday evenings
Mr.. Little, of Cumberland, led in
the meetings, with his most enter
tanning and instructive Bible read
ings.
The stay and labors of these de
voted sewers and reapers in the
great field and harvest of human
ity, closed with the meeting at the
NJ. e. Church, noticed elsewhere.
That great good has been ac
complished, no one familiar with
the progress and fruits of the meet
ings, will gainsay, and that Miss
Smith, with her earnest co-labor
ers, have won their way to al
Christian hearts, and with then
been instrumental in winning
many souls to better life, none
will deny. The churches are al
ready gathering in the sheaves in
to their protecting gamers.
Frorn here Miss Smith with Mr.
aud Mrs. Harris, 90 to Clarksburg
