Msior Burnam and "rut," returned
from Scotland, Wednesday, and made their
way up 10 Highga,e In driving rain, to
find "only the women folks" at home. At
the hour for starting TO our Hackney meet
ing, the down-pour was something almost
terrible, and went out to call a cab for
the conveyance OF my little woman to the
station, which here, is what Britons call
"len minutes" from "solsgir.h House, " or
about Of mile. | could get nothing
nssrer than the railway station itself, and
before she could get down, ! WIS obliged
TO depart on the last possible train. TO get
TO the meeting in anything like time, leav-
ing a message for her at the cab stand, to
return home, and would get along A. best
l could. Az Il was, ! was Is minutes late,
and the congregation had almost given me
up for the evening. But the LORD gave
a blessing, despite the thin attendance, and

Young Arthur Greer. and Will are hold
ing services in a little tent at Holloway
Arch and We have wished 40 much that
we had our dear, mountain, gospel pavil-
ion here. We could make Il more useful
than even in the mountains. And ! will
just say here that II the donors, after ex-
animation find that IL has been we'll pre-.

and all, IL will be a great lift TO our evan.
gelie work in England. II looks absurd,
on the face Of il, but Il ia very feasible /
an sure believe that $50 would more
than cover the expense Of transportation,
for ocean freights are very light The kind
giyers Of the tent, II they think favorAbly
Of the scheme, can very easily ascertain
the cost Of transportation, and il they find
II reasonably near the sum have mention
ell, will, ! feel assured, gladly incur that
additional expense to have the mountain
tent 20 on in its glorious work. IL Is a con-
secrated pavilion, and can only say, that
we eau use II to great advantage in England.
An making an indicate appeal and
suggestiong think not. Who will move
in the natter OF course. am surprising
that the tent has not been put to other
uses since we left Il. In that case, let the
suggestion 20 for what il is worth. be-
lieve the dear LORD puts il into my-heari
to write the above lines and leave the
whole matter in His hands.
ThursdAy, Tut came up to HiShgate to
spend the day quietly with us while the
Major went TO inspect the "Law Courts. "
We have all taken great fancy to our gi-
ganiic young Kentuckian, who in his turn
seemed pleased with our home circle, as a
change from the fatigue Of incessant sight
seeing, II nothing more. And 30 we all
had a delightful day. lie took leave about
3P.M. but again turned up at the Trian'
gle, Hackney, at the night service. Marie
and Indeed all Of us were trusting
that he would confess the LORD, and so
he did, coming up TO the front, In the good
old Kentucky fashion, as soon as Marie be-
gan 10 sing the invitation hymn. | leave
our friends to imagine our JOY. How WV
idly IL brought before US the last night Of
the Richmond meeting when he desired
10 come, but was prevented by the crush
Of the crowd and the difficulty Of making
his way forward. Dear fellow lie made
a grand, bold confession Of Jesus in Lon
don, and when narrated the facts Of the
case 10 the people in Trinity Church, there
we're good many damp eyes. II was q
